Yanae $26 per hour for 1 child
My name is Yanae. I’m 26 years old and currently work as a preschool teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, where I’ve grown into roles such as mentor, staff leader, and Lead Teacher. I’m passionate about working with children and supporting the development of both students and fellow educators. I have my degree in psychology and I am CPR certified. I also have experience working with a variety of age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. When I babysit, I focus on providing more one-on-one attention, engaging children in different activities and creating meaningful interactions throughout the time we spend together. In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and reading.
