Dori South Bend
$15 per hour for 1 child

I was originally born in Hungary and came to the states to study and row at USC. I have been coaching rowing at college level. I was a live-in nanny for 5 years (2 kids from day 1) and also babysat kids ages 1-13. I love engaging with kids all ages and am always amazed by their curiosity, playfulness, fun, eager to learn. I want to become a mom one day and would love to help mothers/families in need. I am great with kids, love to teach, love to be outdoors, going on new adventures with them. I also grew up with 3 siblings and multiple pets so I am used to being in a busy household. I am passionate about caring for others, especially infants, toddlers, teenagers and to be a role model to them.
