I am a full time licensed Occupational therapist and am looking for occasional and night time/ weekend babysitting gigs! I have an extensive OT background (which I won’t fully share on here) but have pediatric experience working with children with disabilities including mental health related diagnoses. I have over 10+ years of experience working with and babysitting children of any age including infants! I also taught swim lessons for over 7 years and have dog sat/ walked for over 4 years. I am a huge dog fan (of any fur baby!) and have a family dog of my own. Reviews I have received from previous children include: “your really cool even my turtle likes you”, “your so smart I can’t wait to be in the 4th grade like you” and “you really funny do you want to come to my school and be my show and tell?” Please feel free Read more to message me with any questions!
