Leila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.
