Julia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julia! I recently moved here from Huntington Beach after graduating from Cal State Long Beach. I have a degree in Sociology and Religious Studies! I also completed a teaching credential program for special education. My family lives in Colorado, and I am so happy to be close with them again!! I have been a babysitter since I was 12, and continued to do so during school! I have experience with all ages. Most of my jobs have included drop offs & pickups, as well as taking kiddos on adventures or simply staying home & hanging out! I am also experienced in helping out around the household with whatever is needed (cooking, cleaning, running errands, etc) I am currently involved with a nonprofit organization for at risk youth in the springs, and am looking for employment that brings some more flexibility and light into my life, and working with kids and families has always done the trick for me!
