Ruby $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my names Ruby, I used to babysit a lot in high school before I moved and thought it was so fun! I mostly worked with two kids aged 2 and 4, and babysat them for almost a year. I’m a first year college student so babysitting is a great way for me to make money while still having time to focus on school work. I’m also an artist although I’m still working towards making a living off that. But if your kids enjoy to draw I’ll probably end up teaching them a thing or two too!
