Dominique $30 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to the area and am seeking childcare opportunities. My ample experience with kids in both childcare settings and as a counselor make me uniquely qualified for any childcare position. I worked as a child trauma counselor for children of all ages for five years. This experience provided me with an astute ability to connect emotionally with children, understand their needs, and help them to feel safe. I have a Masters in Social Work and Bachelors in Psychology; and worked as a babysitter and nanny for various families while in school. While studying for my Bachelors, I worked at a daycare for four years. I have a year of experience providing behavioral therapy to children and teens with autism and/or developmental disabilities, in addition to caring for kids with special needs in nannying settings. I have adored developing strong bonds with children throughout my life.

Laura $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello I'm Laura. Recently returned from living abroad for several years. I am an educator and creative person by trade. I offer child care, senior care and pet care. Before becoming a teacher and trainer I babysat, took care of my elderly father and held various office jobs. Currently, between teaching jobs in public and private sector (primary , secondary and adult learners) I also help care for my elderly mother. I grew up with a dog and cats. Therefore, I'm comfortable caring for both children, seniors and pets. I also love animals. I have two cats and I'm not allergic to dogs, I love them too. When I have free time I volunteer, write, create artistic cards and try to learn something new every three -six months. I also use public transport to move around. If my profile fits your needs reach I'd love to hear from you. A presto, Laura
