$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Bonnie. I work part-time as an accountant and am looking to fill my days helping others. I love working with kids. Being the youngest of 7 children, I grew up with the unique opportunity to be an aunt of over 20 nieces and nephews combined. I was their fun, kind aunt and they loved when I'd babysit and help care for them. Those years really showed me how to work with children of all ages. Aside from my family, I have experience tutoring children from 1st to 5th grade in reading and math and was a girls middle school and high school basketball coach for 5 years. I love working with elderly individuals. Both sets of my grandparents lived with me and my parents at different times as I was growing up. I played an active role in caring for them by making them meals, assisting them, and just visiting with them. I appreciate hearing the stories of their backgrounds and places they've been. I've found it's providing them company and someone to talk to that really cheers them up and motivates them. I'm a dog magnet. Dogs know a kind soul when they see one. Dogs are the best kind of animal, and I have over 21 years experience owning and caring for them. From chihuahuas to German Shepherds, I have taken care of a variety of dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! As a teenager, I lifeguarded for a very busy water park, and I learned to govern a child's behavior to keep them safe as well as interact with them in a manner that keeps the tone playful, yet informative. I taught countless swim classes over the summers with young children to pre-teens, and I found that maintaining a relational bond with kids makes the learning process stronger. I grew up with siblings over ten years younger than me and have spent their early years managing their behavior, learning habits, and their fun. I have also babysat for neighbors, especially during high school and after high school. I would love to find a family to connect with and provide meaningful, engaging care for!

Child Care: I’ve been a primary elementary school teacher for several years. As a result, I am very experienced with meeting the diverse needs of children. I can help your children with homework, as well as engage them in exciting activities. My best personal qualities are friendliness, patience, creativity, empathy and organization. Children are our future, and my lifetime goal has always been to be a positive and inspirational role model for children. Pet/Cat care: I've had and cared for pets my entire life, and can't imagine life without them! I specialize in cat care. I have nurtured cats of all ages. My cats own my home. I am the staff of them. There are cat castles, cat-friendly toys, and a lot of water bowls including a water fountain in my home. I currently own 2 cats, and have 3 litter boxes in the home for them to utilize.
