Maryam $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maryam and I have been working with kids for the last 7 years. Childcare is something that I care so much about and put my whole heart into. My previous jobs have been an Education Director at the Boys and Girls Club, a youth development professional for before and after school care, an educator, a tutor, and a swim instructor. I'm also certified in First Aid and CPR, fully vaccinated, and passionate about making sure that all of the kids I work with are cared for and happy :) As the middle child of six siblings, l've grown up knowing how important family is, and my natural warmth and responsibility shine through in everything I do. I'm currently pursuing my college education, mostly online, which helps me have a more flexible schedule. So! If you're looking for a babysitter who's fun, friendly, empathetic, dependable, and experienced, then l'd love to meet you and your kiddos!
