Additionally, I have my bachelors degree from Marquette University in accounting and finance. I also am a CPA. I currently work as an auditor at Deloitte. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games.

Mariah $15 per hour for 1 child

With over 10 years experience nurturing kids from newborns to teens, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional support to both your children and your family. I bring fun, creativity, and a sprinkle of imagination to every babysitting gig while ensuring parents feel secure knowing their little ones are in caring hands. With a Master's in Social Work and a career dedicated to empowering seniors, I am equipped me with exceptional communication skills, allowing me to connect with children on their level while fostering a safe and engaging environment. Whether it's organizing fun activities or providing emotional support during difficult moments, I thrive on creating positive experiences for every child in my care. I am eager to broaden my day-to-day experiences by returning to my roots of working with kids. Being active and engaged is essential when caring for children. Whether it's organizing outdoor games or crafting creative projects indoors, I always strive to keep kids entertained while nurturing their creativity. My strong communication skills allow me to build trusting relationships with both children and parents alike, ensuring open lines of dialogue about any concerns or updates. I pride myself on being punctual and responsible. My patience and creativity allow me to tackle challenges with a positive attitude. I have experience with caring for up to 8 kids at once. I thrive in busy settings where I can make a positive impact on young lives. I have successfully managed bedtime routines, meal preparation, homework assistance, responding to atypical physical and intellectual abilities, transporting to and from activities, and while maintaining a fun and active atmosphere. My ability to communicate effectively with both children and parents has always been a cornerstone of my approach—fostering trust and ensuring everyone feels heard. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your family's needs and how I can contribute positively as your babysitter.
