Elizabeth $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Liz. I have an 18 year old daughter who is at college out of state. I work at a surgical center Monday through Friday and I specialize in patient care. Now that my own daughter is away at college, I have a lot of free time on weekends. I have experience caring for young children and babies through babysitting for friends and family. I love spending time with children because it brings back wonderful memories and experiences with my own daughter.
