Bet $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Betsabe, but everyone calls me Bet 🙂 I'm a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver. I might be a little shy with adults at first, but I'm completely silly and fun with children! I have 10 years of extensive childcare experience, including 1 year of professional caregiving here in the USA. My experience spans all age groups, from newborns to teenagers. My primary language is Spanish, so I'm happy to help children practice their Spanish language skills! Also, one of my personal goals is to improve my English, which makes me even more motivated to communicate clearly and engage. I truly enjoy making little friends and creating warm and loving connections with children. I focus on providing a safe, nurturing, and happy environment where children feel supported, cared for, and comfortable being themselves. I use my diverse skills in Photography, Arts and Crafts, Cooking, Sports (Running, Cycling, Soccer, Swimming), and Dance to encourage creativity, healthy habits, and fun learning in every interaction. I am also happy to provide homework assistance and tutoring. I have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record for safe transportation, if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am happy to help care for family pets (dogs, cats, etc.) as needed. Professional Credentials: • Red Cross - Advanced Child Care Training Course Certificate. • First Aid and CPR Certified. • Childcare Accident Prevention Promoter. Specialized Training: • MIDO expert for girls and adolescents. • Focus on boys and girls growing up healthy. • Integrating Arts and Science into children's lives.
