Margaret $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a college student looking to pick up some part time gigs! I love outdoor activities, music, cooking, and running around!! I have 2 years of paid babysitting experience but have grown up with younger siblings my whole life and really feel comfortable working with kids of any age but prefer working with 2 yrs and up! I have experience in household chores, meal prep, and taking care of pets so whatever needs to be done I am more than happy to help :) I also worked as a tutor in high-school and am very available to help with school work. I’m a big fan of sending picture updates/facetime’s while babysitting so parents know everything is ok; communication is my biggest concern. Thanks for reading, I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family!
