Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie and I am a senior at Fordham University majoring in psychology and English. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and would love to take care of your kids :)) In the past, I've made simple meals for kids, picked them up from school, walked them to parks, playdates, and restaurants, and have spent all day hanging out with them! I'm also happy to help organize your home or run errands. I (sadly) have no pets at school, but I have a dog at home and LOVE cats, so I'd be more than happy to meet and care for your pets too!
