Vanessa $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a 48 year old married individual who recently relocated to DC with my husband and dog! I am a patient advocate and speaker and I’m currently going back to school to get another degree — MPH in healthcare leadership. I love kids and have been around children of all ages my whole life. My husband have been like second parents to our godkids since before they were born. Because we were unable to have kids we have become the go to sitters for many friends and family members. As for the aging population — I am comfortable with them as well. My mom is 81 years old and I have travelled all over the world with her and help her in a variety of ways. I am also a great cook and a trained opera singer — fun facts! You can learn more about me at[removed] I am looking for some local jobs to help while I am working on my latest degree!
