Kamora $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kamora! I’m a rising junior at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania with experience working with children as a gymnastics coach at The Little Gym. I’m patient, energetic, and reliable, and I love helping kids learn, play, and feel safe. I have experience working with children ages 3–12, and I’m comfortable managing routines, keeping kids engaged with fun and age appropriate activities, and creating a positive, structured environment. Safety is always my top priority, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also enjoy active play, games, and helping kids stay engaged in a fun and supportive way. I’m available throughout the summer and open to both occasional babysitting and more consistent weekly schedules. I can also assist with light housekeeping, simple meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized space.
