Ava $17 per hour for 1 child

Although I currently don't have professional caregiving experience, I am a friendly and patient college-educated individual who is certified in First Aid/CPR (adult & pediatric) and is in the process of becoming a certified clinical medical assistant. I look to enjoy supporting families by providing attentive, reliable care for children between 6 months - 12 years old. I'm happy to engage your children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities if needed. I like to meet children where they're at, so if your child favors a more energizing personality, then I can do that, or if they favor a more calm persona, then I can do that as well. I will follow your lead on household rules and communicate updates using your preferred method. I am very comfortable with pets if any are present; light housekeeping and light meal preparation is something I'm willing to help with too.
