Sierra $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! - My name is Sierra, I’m currently a freshman at CCSU. I offer childcare between the ages 1-8. I have the most experience, and where I’m most comfortable are with ages 3-5. I’ve always enjoyed babysitting or working with children. My seasonal job is camp counselor! Being so, I’ve never had any bad experiences coming from kids, which is why I enjoy it so much. I am willing to also work as a household assistant, run errands, and cook as needed. I am able to ensure transportation also if needed.
