Hi there! I am 23 years old living in NYC working in advertising, looking for babysitting opportunities. I have extensive babysitting experience with children whose ages range from infants to teenagers. I am CPR certified and majored in Human Development and Family Science at Syracuse University where I focused on child development and worked at an afterschool program for underprivileged children for the entirety of my senior year. During my time at Syracuse I was also a member of the division 1 women’s lacrosse team. I love to bake, read, run, and I love kids!
Ramyaa $23 per hour for 1 child
Hey. I’m not gonna lie but this is my first babysitting job (officially). I’ve taken care of both my siblings. I have taken care kids in my neighbourhood from infants to upto 10 year olds. Changing diapers, preparing food based on needs, feeding, playing, teaching, walks, games, you name it haha. I have experience taking care of seniors & have taken care of seniors with dementia and trouble walking. I’m a registered pet sitter at care.com as well. As far as pets go I don’t have experience training but I can walk, dropin and sit. I do work from home in IT but that will never affect me providing amazing care because my job is super lowk and I barely have to pick up my laptop, i mostly just respond to emails haha. I’m sure your little ones will be interested in a software engineer does too haha
