Becca $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Becca :) I am a current Child Family Therapist looking for occasional evening and weekend babysitting gigs. I have 10 years of paid child-care experience- everything from date-night babysitting to full-time and summer nannying to working as a camp counselor. I also work with children and families in a therapeutic capacity as a professional social worker. I have the most experience with the 0-5 age range. I love to read books with kids, engage in imaginative play, color, do puzzles, and go for walks! I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to provide references as requested. Excited to hopefully connect!
