Armani 2 reviews
Tampa
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Dover, FL

I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.

Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her.
