Meet Frances

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! First, about my experience... I'm available for babysitting, pet sitting, and housekeeping. My siblings are much older than me, and I've been watching their children throughout the kids' lives, beginning when I was 14. I have also cared for the children of my neighbors, friends, and, during college, my teachers. I have experience with a range of ages, but the bulk of my work has been with children under 6. I've also worked with children of various levels of need including physical and developmental disabilities. Aside from experience, I have no training, and I also don't have any certifications. And a bit more about me... I am about to graduate from my MFA program in poetry at Cornell, which I began immediately after I received my BA in literature & philosophy from Bennington College in Vermont. I'm originally from Delaware and spent my teenage years studying at a residential Read more ballet conservatory in Maine (I also love teaching children ballet, if that interests you!) Most of my life revolves around writing and reading, but I also love to cook and bake, sew, swim, and be around animals, music, and flowers.
