Nadiia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nadiia and I am a mom of a 5-year-old boy. I have real experience taking care of children every day as a parent, and I understand how important it is to keep kids safe, happy, and busy. In the past, I also helped take care of my grandmother, so I am very patient and responsible. I love animals, so pets are never a problem. I am looking for part-time morning jobs where I can help families with babysitting, light play, meals, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for. Parents describe me as kind, caring, and reliable. I would be happy to meet your family!
