Himani $40 per hour for 1 child
I’m a caregiver and teacher who brings the vibe of a camp counselor and friend. I’m the eldest daughter of an immigrant family and have been working with children since the age of 7. I am comfortable bringing out my own inner child and creating a beautiful mix of learning and play. This year, I put my teaching skills to the test in the classroom and explored subbing for grades K-5. When I care for your children, I will come with books and games suited for their age level. All other details can be personalized when we meet. Let’s have an amazing day together.
