Hannah $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kent, WA
Hello! I babysat with an agency through most of college. My assignments ranged between ages 14 months to 9 years. I have the most experience with ages 18 months to 4 years, but I love babies and would love to keep building my skills with infants. In high school, I occasionally babysat an infant, toddler, and preschooler over the course of about two years. I really enjoy spending time with little ones and getting to help them develop their skills. I currently work as a case manager for foster youth and I'm looking to pick up occasional evening shifts to help me through grad school.
