Cassie $20 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! I’m Ms. Cassie, and I have five years of experience and wonderful memories working with children. After graduating from UT, I found myself employed as a nanny, regular sitter, and now a full-time teacher at a small daycare. I love working with children of all ages; I primarily take care of little ones 3 months to 7 years. I am looking to supplement my income with regular or one-time sitting. I have experience with sibling groups, potty training, bedtime, cooking, and more. I love playing games and pretend, reading, sensory play, and building with different materials. Please contact me if you have any questions!
