Meet Merrick

Hi everyone!!!!! My name is Merrick, and I am currently living in the DC area (Shaw/Mt. Vernon) and am looking for a babysitting gig. I recently graduated from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN and have extensive experience in childcare/education. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny all throughout college with children ages 3-7, and have babysat children from newborn to 16. I also have experience working in elementary schools as a teachers assistant and tutoring special needs students in Math and English. I absolutely love spending time around kids- and will always have activities planned from baking to fort parties!! I am currently applying for full-time employment so I will not be able to commit to a long-term role, but would love to help out for the next few months or be a go-to date-night sitter. I will happily commit to sitting as needed- up to 5 days a week! Unfortunately, Read more I do not have a car in the city but I do live near multiple metro / bus stops!
