Lila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Lila and I’m looking to do some babysitting while I’m home for college! I’ve lived in Bucktown my whole life but reside in Pittsburgh for part of the year as I’m a sophmore at the University of Pittsburgh. I love crafts, cooking, and overall being super silly and fun with kids! With four years of experience as a camp counselor at an overnight camp, I have plenty of energy when hanging out with younger kids. I’m more experienced with kids seven and older, but I’ve also babysat for kids under that. I have two dogs of my own, so no pets will be a hassle. Thank you!
