Alathea $17 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Alathea and I am a junior at Rhodes College studying International Relations and French. I have been babysitting regularly for five years and a full time nanny for the past two summers. I have worked with a wide range of ages, but most of my experience is between the 4-10 age group. I am very comfortable however with babies too, including putting them down for naps and changing diapers. I also have experience as an after school caregiver for middle/high school children which included picking them up from school, taking them to after school activities, and preparing dinners. I am looking for a regular gig next semester but would also be open to occasional babysitting. Please contact me with any questions about my availability or experience!
