Madeline $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Madeline. I am 21 years old and a recent college graduate, looking to do short term work as I apply for jobs in my field. I have five years of work experience as a lifeguard and swim instructor, where I worked with, cared for, and taught children ages 9 months to 15 years. I have informal babysitting experience through family and friends, and I am First Aid/CPR certified through the Red Cross. In my time instructing I often worked with children with disabilities, and would also be comfortable caring for nonverbal children. Aside from kids, I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, and fish! At the moment, I am free to work any day, any time :)
