Sandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Sandra. I am a compassionate, loving, reliable, responsible babysitter with 6 years of experience in childcare including toddlers and infants. I love being a babysitter and being part of the child’s growth and development. My responsibilities have included, but not limited to, driving to/from school or appointments, meal prep, homework help, board game fun, arts and crafts, and in some occasions, Spanish lessons. I am fluent in both, written and spoken Spanish and English. I love helping the children that I babysit accomplish their goals no matter how small they may seem.
