Ester $20 per hour for 1 child
I’ve babysat and had nanny jobs since being a teenager, I’ve always loved babies and kids! I worked at an afterschool program for a total of 5 years as well. I have three sons of my own and truly love every stage kids go through! I have always found it easy and natural to connect with kids of every age. I genuinely care about them and the experiences they are having and love becoming like an older sister/auntie figure in their life. I love being present with them! I find playing games, playing sports, being creative, or just hanging out can be such fun opportunities that bring real connection.
