I babysit my younger brothers very often (6 and 8 years old). I can cook a few dishes and can substitute for any allergy restrictions. I also occasionally babysit my niece (7 years old). I am currently a graduate student at Buffalo State University and Quinnipiac University. However, I am on a leave of absence. Rates beyond 3 children are negotiable. Prices for 1-3 children are non-negotiable, the pay rate must be within the range given. Prices for any number of children are only negotiable in the case of any service under 8 days total. I don't provide services for children under 1. I don't bathe anyone of any age, I give them their washcloth, loofah, or sponge and tell them where and how to wash up and help rinse the soap off after. I don't live in or sleep over for any position. Prior 2-day notice and confirmation are Read more needed for each job. 24 hours notice is usually not a problem for familiar families, but availability is not guaranteed.
