Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children. I have younger siblings which is an advantage for me.
Ligia $35 per hour for 1 child
Coming from a family with 6 children, and me bring the second oldest I’m already familiar with lots of children around me. Also I am a mother myself now and that also makes me love being around children too. I used to work as a babysitter for some lovely families. Now I have a part time office job, very flexible and u could use some extra work.
