Allison $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello, Imm Allison and I am a 42 year old living in Olathe. I have been here for 11 years. I moved here from Iowa to be close to my niece and nephews, who are now 18 and 14. I am a paraeducator at an elementary school in Overland Park. I have been doing that for 11 years now. Prior to that, I have worked in daycares and as a private nanny. I enjoy working with kids if all ages. In my free time I enjoy babysitting. I love the outdoors whether it's playing games, sports or simply just going for a nice walk. I also love swimming. I also enjoy playing board games and reading books to children. Other than babysitting, I enjoy reading good nin fiction books, spending time with friends and family and thrifting.
