Kamryn $25 per hour for 1 child
Currently, I'm a child therapist with a degree from the Erikson Institute. I have worked with children in a variety of settings, including daycare settings, mentorship roles, as a group facilitator, nannying, and as a coach for youth sports. I love working with kids, and I always hope to be an adult figure who is fun, attuned, thoughtful, respectful, and responsible.
Selene $19 per hour for 1 child
Hi!!! I'm currently a College student in my Sophomore year. I adore kids and love being around them. I'd describe my personality as extremely bubbly and very outgoing while also being responsible I love working with kids because I feel kids are very pure and so curious about life and I love being there to help guide them in learning new things while also being supportive I have been working with kids since I was old enough to help. I started two years ago babysitting for my family and family friends. Date nights, while at work, even watching them for weekends while parents were out of town. In my spare time, I like to be with my family, I usually spend my weekends with them and if not i'm playing volleyball. One thing you should know about me is i'm very respectful. I'm also love meeting new people. I would also consider myself a pretty good at cook! My skills include helping them learn, keeping them safe, letting them have fun while still keeping my authority.
