Kelly Boise
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I have been babysitting for years starting in middle school/high school as I have always loved the atmosphere of babysitting! After graduating with a degree in Biology/Computer Science, I currently I work as a computer programmer during the day. However, I love the rewarding aspects of babysitting including facilitating language development for children through age appropriate discussions, enriching children's activities with educational opportunities, and being a friend for the kids as it is so important for their socialization! I have extensive experience with the essentials of babysitting (meal times/snack times, nighttime routines, playtime, previous CPR/first aid training, etc.) but always love to go above and beyond! I think it is so important to adjust any plans to the individual kids whether they want to have little dance parties, play with small science experiments, show off their Lego collection, talk about their days at school, read together, or share any of their hobbies with me! Each kiddo is unique and it is one of my favorite aspects of babysitting!
