Savannah $22 per hour for 1 child
I am a college student majoring in Psychology and currently pursuing certifications as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have recently completed a CPR/AED certification course and have more than three years of experience providing childcare. My experience includes babysitting, pet care, cooking, and performing basic household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry. I also have professional experience as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Behavior Technician, where I worked with individuals on the autism spectrum, including individuals who were nonverbal. This experience strengthened my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and individualized care. I enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and responsible environment. I understand the importance of maintaining awareness of children’s whereabouts and well-being at all times while ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and respected.
