Sita $19 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Sita, I am a current sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Human Services and Social Justice. I am offering babysitting services, senior care, and household assistance. I love children, I have been tutoring and watching toddlers and school aged children since I was 13. I loved crafting with them, reading to them, and can handle stressful situations with calmness and empathy. (If you have a teenager that needs help with college applications, I would love to help). I am CPR certified and extremely attentive to the needs of children because of my studies at school. I volunteer 120 hours per semester with children and seniors and am accustomed to such environments. I am super flexible and can work with you to fit the needs of your family! :)

Booked by 3 families in Capitol Heights, MD

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.
