Azaria $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Azaria! I'm 25 years old. I have over 11 years of experience caring for kids through babysitting, camp counseling, and my professional career. I've had the opportunity to work with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers! Working with children has always been something I'm passionate about. I'm patient, nurturing, creative, dependable, and attentive to each child's individual needs. My background in mental health has helped me develop strong communication skills, an understanding of child development, and the ability to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love finding fun and engaging ways to keep kids entertained, whether through arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, games, outdoor adventures, or other age-appropriate activities. I also enjoy helping children express their emotions, build confidence, and navigate big feelings in a supportive way. I'm happy to assist with meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, homework, and maintaining your family's established routines. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and building connections with families in my community. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their little ones in someone else's care, and I strive to provide that peace of mind through compassionate, responsible, and attentive caregiving. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and help create a fun, safe, and positive environment where your children can feel happy, supported, and cared for!
