Hello! I am a recent college graduate, and I am relatively new to the area. I am looking for any families that may need an occasional babysitter on weeknights or weekends. I could also do weekdays for the time being, as I am currently in-between jobs. I babysat a lot for family friends in high school. Throughout college, I provided respite care for two families with children with disabilities ages 4-10 (one family had three children). Last year I completed an internship at an inclusive early childhood program, working in a classroom with 3 and 4-year-olds. I also used to work with kids with special needs doing therapeutic recreation. Between my nieces and nephews, cousins, family friends' kids, and professional experience, I have experience working with newborns, teens, and everything in-between. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have!
