Booked by 1 family in New Britain, CT

I have 8+ years of experience in childcare and teaching ballet. I grew up in a large family and have had many childcare and teaching jobs over the past years. Working with children is something I enjoy doing on a weekly basis, as I'm a ballet instructor for a couple studios in the area! I like teaching children concepts and watching them grow in their understanding of them. I've done coursework in Early Childhood Development and would be happy to tutor and assist with online learning. I am also happy to help with Driving, Housekeeping, Laundry, etc. I'm looking for a job with hours mostly in the afternoons and evenings (after I get out of the studio) and weekends.

I’m a grandmother with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I’m patient, loving, reliable, and skilled in routines, safety, meals, and play. I’ve also supported seniors and managed household needs with care and attention.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing is in my nature. I've ben raising babies since I was just a child. I was the designated babysitter for my youngest sibling when I was just 10 years old (he was a toddler at the time). I raised my nephew from an infant when I was just 16 years old. I have volunteered in pre-schools. I was a Boy Scouts of Ameria assistant troop leader for 2 years. I'm also a mother to a beautiful little 10 year old girl. I have tons of medical knowledge from my Forensic Science degrees as well as experience working as a pharmacy technician. I adore animals and have decades of experience raising and caring for birds and dogs. Additionally, I believe our elder generation doesn't get the respect and care they deserve and I'm happy to help out seniors in whatever capacity they need. Finally, I'm extremely clean and neat and love helping others get their space organized, functional, and clean. If you want to know more, just ask. I'm happy to share more about my experiences.
