Sherkira $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Sherkira. I’m 21 years old, and I truly love working with children. I currently work at a private childcare center, where I’ve been for 3 years. During that time, I’ve cared for children ranging from 3 months to 4 years old. I grew up with many siblings and often took on the responsibility of helping care for them, so childcare has always come naturally to me. There’s nothing I’m more passionate about than watching children learn, grow, and discover new things. I’m CPR certified, and I take pride in keeping a clean and tidy environment—especially after a fun, messy activity! My schedule is Monday through Friday, starting at 7:30 PM and ending whenever I’m needed.
