Melissa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Melissa, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a student looking for a part time babysitting job. As a person with a large family, I have been collecting childcare experience from a very early age. The bulk of my professional experience with children comes from teaching roles. I worked at Brooklyn Museum for two years as an art programs educator in both hands on workshop settings and as a formal tour guide in the galleries. Outside of the formal settings, I used to work as a freelance children's party entertainer. I also taught kids 4-6 literacy skills over the summer as a teen. I am available on weekends and some weekdays after 4:30 p.m. Please give me an idea of your family's needs/schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you! My hourly rate is flexible. Contact me with your budget and I will try to work with you.

I have experience as a teacher and teaching assistant in NYC Public Schools and most specifically PS75, PS151, and Pace High School. I am looking for some part-time work while in school and would love to connect with you and your family! As my classes change each semester, right now it's hard for me to commit to a schedule past the next few months, but I'd love to be considered for date nights or regular morning or evening shifts! I have a wonderful spouse (who is a full-time K-8 teacher in Brooklyn!) and a corgi named Hoagie. I'm very comfortable with pets and I LOVE to cook!
