Lillian $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pontiac, MI

Hello! My name is Lilly and I am currently a pre-nursing student. I am very passionate about working in the medical field and hope to work in pediatric nursing in the future, and I also enjoy working out and going to concerts in my free time. I have been babysitting for about 5 years now and was a part-time summer nanny for a family starting when the children were 5 and 8 to when they were 9 and 12. I have babysat ages ranging from 1-14 all together. I currently am BLS certified, which includes first aid, CPR, and emergency oxygen and have passed a babysitting course. I like to keep things organized, so working within a families schedule is very easy for me to keep consistent when I learn it. Babysitting has been one of my favorite jobs and I hope to continue this while I'm in school! I am also comfortable cooking and doing light housework, and any activities I do while babysitting I make sure are cleaned up completely before I leave.
