Booked by 3 families in Waukesha, WI

I am currently a Physician Assistant student who will be graduating in May and looking for work this summer (June-August) before I start my job in September. I have lots of experience with newborns and infants through nannying and working with Doulas at Tandem birthing center and postpartum house in Bloomington Indiana. I am also good cook and don't mind meal prepping or light housework. I have a lot of healthcare experience having worked in the emergency department and in an inpatient hospital setting and am CPR certified. As of June I should be certified as a Physician Assistant.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hey there, my name is Bri! I am a fun loving and very caring individual who absolutely loves kids! Getting to know the kids on an individual level and forming bonds is my favorite part of the job. I have 24 years of experience, taking care of children from infants to preteens also ranging from taking care of one up to five children at a time. I also have some experience with special needs children. I studied premed in college, I went through EMT training and I am CPR certified twice over. Whether it's playing or helping with homework or getting kids ready for school or activities I have done it all and I am good at my job! I have a reliable vehicle and if the kiddos need rides to school, activities or playground visits I have plenty of room and I am a very safe driver. And when it comes to extra duties, like picking up after the kids, doing a few dishes or other small household chores, I am there to help! If you need a résumé or any references, please let me know. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!
