Hi my name is Kristen and I am a 30 year old college student. I have 4 years of professional experience, but have been babysittingsince I was 13. I am CPR and First Aid trained. When I was 13 my aunt ran a daycare. I would help with the cleaning, supervise the kids when my aunt couldnt, the cooking, and taking care of the babies. When I was 21 I would occasionally watch my friends child from the time she was 6 months till 8 years old. When I was 23 I worked for the school district as a substitute noon duty. When I was 26 I worked for Elizabeth Gomez for 8 months. She had two kids. A boy who was 10 and a girl who was 5. My responsibilities were to pick up the kids, help with their homework, drive them to their extracurricular activities, clean, and cook them dinner. When I was 27 I worked at a church in their baby room. I would help supervise them until the end of church. I worked for them 2 months. After that I worked for Jennifer Couch. She has two boy who was 7 and 4. I would supervise them, cook them lunch and dinner, and put them to bed. When I was 28 I worked for Craig and Catharine Hamilton. They have a boy who was 5.

Daphne $40 per hour for 1 child

Active, Patient, Warm, Caring, Safety minded... I recently moved here from Fairfax City Virginia here with the love of my life. I have extensive experience caring for children. I operated an in home child care in Virginia for children 5 weeks old to age 12 for 23 years. We were required to have 16 hours of training a year so I have taken extensive child care training classes over the years. I have passed background checks and have valid First Aid, CPR training currently and all for those years. I love caring for children and I am exceptional with infants, preschool aged children, as well as school aged. I have many excellent references from my families I have worked with over the years as well as neighbors who have known me that long as well. I also have a teaching degree in special education and worked in a day treatment facility for middle school aged children in a self contained classroom setting. I have experience tutoring and helping school aged children with their school work through the years. I have also raised my three sons who are now 26, 24, and 22 years old. In college I worked as a nanny as well as a camp counselor. As a teen I provided swim lessons and was a red cross trained babysitter. I also served as a candy stripper in the hospital. As you can see working with and caring for people and children has been a lifetime endeavor of mine and one I very much enjoy. I am looking to suppliments my income with some part-time or occasional care options. Would love to find some nice families to work with and care for their children or people in need of care. I am open to house sitting, light pet care, light household care, elderly care, or other options as needed. I am open to other opportunities just need to ask and I will let you know if I am up for it.
