Cyntia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Cyntia! I'm a Fair Haven mom of two — a fun 2-year-old boy and a newborn baby — looking for babysitting in your home, with my little ones tagging along. My son loves playmates his age, and my baby mostly sleeps and feeds. I'm also a local pet groomer, so I'm used to responsibility, patience, and keeping little ones safe and happy. Happy to serve meals and snacks you've left prepared, and I bring food for my own little ones. Available Saturdays and Sundays, and I can also do weekdays for a couple of hours at a time. I’m available for part-time help through mid-December, before I return to my full-time job — so if you need an extra pair of hands this season, I’d love to help!
