Erin Tucson
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erin and I am looking for babysitting jobs as I am a student at the University of Arizona and I think I would make a great fit for your children. I have worked with kids from ages 2 to 7 for 5 years now. I have worked at The JCC summer camp in Chicago for toddlers each summer for that time. I love my summer job because I love being with kids and I feel I’m easy for them to connect with. I am patient, flexible, and fun but I am also very responsible and reliable. I’m a psychology major and in the future I’d love to be working with kids so I think this will also help me gain more experience. Thank you for your consideration I hope to meet you soon!
