I am an Argentine born college student at Penn State with three years of paid child care experience under my belt and roughly 8 years of child care experience overall. I have worked with childern entering PK/K all the way up to 8th graders, with a specialty in kids with learning disabilities. I can cook, clean, and help keep an eye on any furry or not furry friends you may have in the home! I additionally am currently a Journalism and Wildlife Double Major, meaning that I can help with homework from most subjects including math and english. I love helping kids learn and explore their interests, and have a knack for art and fixing things around the home.

Paloma is amazing with my son! He adores her. She babysat him at least 50 times (picked him up everyday after school/camp for two months and played with him for several hours). She also babysit him in the weekends. He would tell me “go” when Paloma arrived because he just wanted to play with her. She was always on time and most of the time came early, which was nice. I highly recommend Paloma -10 out of 10

I have been babysitting and working with kids since I was 11 years old. I have experience teaching children in elementary-level theater and I am responsible for directing a children's beach camp program with children ages 3-7. I also gained experience with special needs teens and adults while participating on a unified basketball team in high school. I am a certified lifeguard in the summer making me both first-aid and CPR certified. I am entering my second year in college, I am comfortable driving, cleaning, and caring for pets. I also have experience caring for up to 5 children at once! Nothing brings me more joy than spending time with children! I am looking to babysit for May and June while I am home from school before lifeguarding begins.
