India $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m India! I’m currently a 27 year old social worker and work full-time as a therapist. My experience includes babysitting since the age of 13, nannying for various age groups, and growing up with two younger brothers. I bring a high level of empathy, patience, and understanding to my babysitting. I am known for my nurturing nature, reliability, and strong communication skills. I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment where children feel comfortable and valued. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, or simply being a supportive listener, I strive to meet each child’s individual needs. I also have experience working with children and teens who have ADHD and anxiety. If you are interested but I do not have availability listed, please feel free to still reach out as I am sometimes able to be more flexible. I look forward to working with you and your children!

I have three years of experience at my job, especially with infants and toddlers.

I have two dogs and a cat- and have cared for a plethora of other pets before! I can drive, run errands, clean, and cook/bake. I have payment rates for varying scenarios on my profile but am flexible surrounding my pay.
