Kamdyn $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kamdyn I’m 18 years old and a senior at Sandra Day O’Connor High School. I plan to study Child Psychology after graduation because I’ve always loved working with kids and helping them grow. I’m currently offering child care, after-school care, and household help. Last summer, I worked at a Montessori school in Amarillo, where I cared for children from pre-K through 5th grade. My responsibilities included supervising, leading fun and educational activities, and keeping the days full of learning and laughter! I’m dependable, responsible, and hardworking—I can cook, clean, bake, and even run errands if needed. I’m also an animal lover (I have a dog of my own!), so pets are never a problem. I’d love the opportunity to help your family and make your days a little easier while keeping your kids safe and happy!
