$20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I’m Brooklyn! I am a student at the University of Pittsburgh currently studying for a Masters in applied developmental psychology, early, and special education. I have two siblings that I have spent plenty of time watching while my parents are away. In addition, I have been hired for two internships, one with Partners in Play Lab, and a position at The Watson Institute LEAP Preschool. I consider myself to be very adaptable, positive, and kind-spirited. I love board games, any sort of pretend play, or educational games and activities. I believe in consistency between caregiver and parent, so I am willing to follow guidelines and expectations set by parents! Thank you for your consideration!!

Tsahai California

$15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am a college student becoming a child psychologist and advocate for abused and traumatized kids. I believe that children deserve the world, and adults owe it to them. I have been working with kiddos since I was 13, and I have loved every moment that I have shared with every child. Recently I have worked as a toddler and preschool teacher at a Canadian daycare company. I enjoy creating strong relationships with children while helping to strengthen and facilitate their relationships with their parents and family. I have experience developing lesson plans that uphold Pennsylvania's learning standards for childhood education, and finding ways to engage children in memorable ways that facilitate cognitive development! I can't wait to meet your child, and I hope to make a difference in your lives!
