With over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient and friendly approach. I also have my own 13yo. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I will carefully follow your household rules. I am happy to engage in board games, puzzles, legos, pretend play and outdoor games that promote learning and physical activity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular update, as requested. I am CPR and First Aid certified, formerly a Red Cross volunteer. I am an active community volunteer at my child's school and the library. I have a car and am comfortable with pets as we have a havapoo. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for childcare to your family.

Sarala $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarala! Right now I am looking for summer babysitting jobs before I head off to college. I am mainly looking for part-time child care work, but I am also able to run errands and drive children. I am extremely organized and can do "mothers helper" tasks to make your house run smoothly. I have extensive experience with kids. My previous jobs with kids include being a babysitter, a nanny, an assistant teacher at a preschool and a camp counselor. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include art projects, baking, and going to the park. I have my own dog and am super comfortable around them. I have experience with dog walking as well.
