Hazel $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a senior in high school with a strong passion for working with children. I have taken a Child Development class for two years, where I have learned a lot about child growth and care. Through this class and other experiences, I have worked with children as young as three years old up to almost five-year-olds. I truly enjoy engaging with kids. I love playing with them, talking to them, and creating fun. In addition, I am actively involved at my church every Sunday, where I work with children aged 5 to 10. I help supervise activities, play with them, and encourage positive interaction. I also have experience caring for animals. I have three dogs that I have cared for over the past four years, and I also offer dog-walking services. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring to all childcare responsibilities. Overall, my experience with children and animals has given me the skills to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for any child.
