Francesca $23 per hour for 1 child

Currently a full-time nanny for a 4-year-old boy. Looking for extra hours on days I am not with him. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, adventurous, and fun. I love meeting new people and bringing positive energy into everything I do. I'm especially passionate about working with kids because they're curious, honest, and full of life. It's so rewarding to help them grow and to see the world through their eyes. I started babysitting when I was 12, helping with date nights and after-school care. At 16, I worked a full summer as a camp counselor, where I built strong communication and leadership skills while forming real connections with the kids. I'm looking for a babysitting job that fits my student schedule and lets me build strong relationships with kids while supporting their creativity and confidence. Families should know that if I care for their kids, I'll end up loving their kids and forming a real bond. I'm dependable, patient, and always aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel comfortable being themselves.
