Sofia $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Linden, NJ
I’m 26 years old. I had been working as a babysitter the last 2 years. I got experience with kids from ages around 4 and 12 years old. I know it can be hard to find someone that you can trust your kids. I’m open to have a call interview and answer to all your concerns. I love to be around kids and I try to be creative with all the activities and the usual things that we need to learn with them during the every day routine. For me being patient and confident is a key to work with kids.
