Aubrey $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Aubrey! I’m currently looking for an extra source of income and I figured it would be nice to do something I enjoy. I grew up being babysat and babysitting/petsitting! I enjoy being around kids and animals as I have many little cousins (of all ages really) and find it very rewarding to take care of them. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a sleep away camp where I was directly responsible for 10 girls from 9-10 years old. Without getting too detailed I served as a role model and maternal figure for the kids and I loved it! I would love to work with you and your kids/pets!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
