I am an EEC-certified Infant/Toddler and Preschool teacher who works at a childcare center in Cambridge, MA. I am certified in Pediatric First Aid/CPR, speak some Spanish (conversational, though not fluent), and I have experience working with children who have a variety of support needs. I have been babysitting since I was 13, and I love working with kids. I am currently enrolled in a master's program at BU and working part-time at my center. Seeking part-time work to supplement my income. Preference for families living in Cambridge, Allston/Brighton, or Brookline, though I do have a car and could drive on weekends! Average rate is between $15 and $25 per hour, depending on age and number of children. I do offer a sliding scale for those in financial need.
