Claire $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am experienced in various forms of childcare; I’ve been babysitting since I was a preteen, I have about a year and a half of infant and toddler daycare experience, and have over four years of experience working with autistic children of nearly all ages. Most recently I’ve been working as a preschool and kindergarten classroom aide, and with the summer break approaching I’m looking for a summer job that could hopefully transition to a part-time gig during the school year.

Aneila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Aneila! I’m a student that just turned 21 years old and I love being around children! I grew up watching kids my whole life so it’s all I’ve ever known. I’ve babysat family & friends children’s but never as an actual job. I have also worked at boys and girls club with kids throughout many different ages, working with over 20+ children even alone. I say that me being able to enjoy a job working and being able to provide for children makes me a great caregiver because I’ll never not enjoy it. I hope you can trust me to be your caregiver! :)
