$17 per hour for 1 child

I am an 18-year-old high school senior pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice while gaining professional experience to eventually work in the legal field. As the oldest of four children, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive babysitting experience within my neighborhood, caring for children ranging from 4 months old to 15 years old and also have experience working with children with autism and learning disabilities. I am responsible, patient, and highly attentive, with a strong ability to adapt to different age groups and individual needs. I am currently working toward CPR certification and prioritize safety, structure, and compassion in everything I do. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with household tasks and maintaining an organized, supportive environment. My background has helped me develop strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, caring approach that families can trust.
