desha $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm De'Sha or Day for short! I'm a graduate student at Wayne State School of Medicine with a healthcare background and a caring, patient, and reliable approach. I'm BLS certified (American Red Cross) and recently completed EMT training, so I stay calm and prepared in emergencies. I babysat my younger cousins from infancy through the toddler years, cared for my grandmother, and dog sat for my mom. I've also volunteered with patients on a hospital dialysis unit and at a prenatal and infant care clinic. I'm detail-oriented about allergies, routines, medications, and safety, and happy to help with light meals and tidying while I'm there.
