- Babysitter in Hickory, NC 28602
Meet Dana
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have a 10 year old and a 13 year old. One has Autism, the other Asperger Syndrome. I have been a substitute teacher for 6 years. My husband has a strange work schedule, therefore it has been easier for me to be a stay at home Mom. I have a bachelor's degree from Appalachian State. I have my NC Early Childhood Credential which is required for Teacher Assistants in Catawba County. I babysit for one of my friends' when school isn't in session and she has to work. I am looking for odd jobs so I can begin making payments toward a mission trip, spiritual retreat, and camp for my 13 year old. I absolutely can not be around cigarettes. I have no problems with pets, but expect them to be kept in a safe, loving environment. Children deserve a secure, safe, and loving environment to exist in. No Read more home is perfect, just as people are not perfect, but it is important to keep trying. I am a Christian and a member of a United Methodist Church. I am a youth counselor there and I have a young adult prayer partner. In addition, I am musical and I participate in the many opportunities that my church offers. My minimum pay rate is $10 an hour. I enjoy getting to know new people. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
