I am a social worker, specifically I work intake at a residential facility for at risk kids 5-21. I’m very passionate about my work and have always enjoyed working with kids.. I’m looking for occasional/sporadic/as needed child care opportunities after work (5pm) and weekends; I’ve been in the mental field for over 5 years with my masters in social work and prior to/during graduate school i worked in various child care setting both as a babysitter/nanny and day care/pre school setting. I’ve cared for all ages from new born to teenagers, with meal prep, local driving, homework help. I’m CPR and first aid certified. Happy to respond on short notice, so long as I am available. I do, of course, ask to meet any family before babysitting for the first time, and ask to speak over the phone before meeting any family. That being said, safety is a priority for Read more me and I always maintain safety with children as well (for example, wearing a helmet when bike riding, seatbelts in the car). Hoping to be able to connect with families who feel I may meet what they are looking for in a sitter, please feel free to reach out to me to connect. I’ll also mention that I LOVE animals! Thanks!
