Hannah $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kent, WA

Hello! I babysat with an agency through most of college. My assignments ranged between ages 14 months to 9 years. I have the most experience with ages 18 months to 4 years, but I love babies and would love to keep building my skills with infants. In high school, I occasionally babysat an infant, toddler, and preschooler over the course of about two years. I really enjoy spending time with little ones and getting to help them develop their skills. I currently work as a case manager for foster youth and I'm looking to pick up occasional evening shifts to help me through grad school.

"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!"
