Melissa $13 per hour for 1 child
I am a former preschool/pre k teacher. I have my CDA. Prior to the pandemic I worked a childcare facility for about two years. My two main age groups were 2-3 year olds and 3-4 year olds during the school year. I also have experience with school age children, for the after school program, and spent a summer as a summer time teacher/camp counselor with that same age group. I have some experience with infants as well, because I would sometimes step into the infant room in order to allow the main teacher in the to take their lunch break. I was a tennis coach in HS/ day camp counselor. I have babysat for various families over the years from my teen years until now.
