Hello! My name is Marianna and I would love to help take care of your little ones. I used to sit small children (ages 4-7) years ago and would love to do so again. I’m a medical assistant by profession, therefore I know first aid well and have a few years experience working in pediatrics. I will care for your children well and protect them.

Pria $18 per hour for 1 child
I grew up caring for a lot of my younger cousins, so I know how to handle chaos. I find kiddos to be very intresting little people, and love the times I get to spend with them. I would love to help be a support in kids' lives that I knew I needed when I was younger. I live with three dogs and two cats, and in the past I've cared for guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and lizards. No animal is too much for me to handle. I love them and I love being around them!
