Cynthia $25 per hour for 1 child
For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I've worked in group homes, shelters and family homes. I’ve worked with children who have medical diagnosis and developmental delays. I am patient, calm, and structured. I'm happy to prepare meals, do housekeeping or run errands. I am very active and enjoy outdoor activities! I am certified in First Aid and CPR. I spent two years as an emergency medical technician and am very comfortable with tending to wounds, injuries or springing into action when needed. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am bilingual (Spanish/English).

Hello my name is Jessica.I have over 25 years of childcare experience including working at daycares running the children’s directory at church I have experience with infants - children ages 12+ as well as children with special needs. After many years of childcare and teaching I realize I would like to work more one on one and independently with goals of opening a childcare center of my own. I truly love and have a passion for children and seeing them learn, grow and develop.
