Phoenix Catonsville
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Phoenix and I’m a current Junior at UMBC studying biology. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been sitting since 14 years old. I currently volunteer at MWPH in the school age division, so I’m comfortable looking after children who may need extra attention. I have access to a car and tutoring experience. I work as a house/pet sitter as well and have experience with both cats (newborn to adult), and dogs (over one year). I also work as a household assistant and can run errands and clean.

I work full time in finance at an investment bank. I have a ton of experience with kids of almost all ages as I have been babysitting since I was 9. Mostly family and neighborhood kids at first but through high school and college I volunteered with disabled and special needs kids a lot. I also volunteer at my mom's pre-school every now and then when they have events. I’m also available regarding tutoring in math.

Hi! I’m a new sophomore in college who has always enjoyed working with children. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent many years helping care for and support my younger brothers and sisters, which has taught me patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I also was a mentor in high school and a camp counselor. I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their family’s care.
