I have been babysitting, nannying, teaching and tutoring children for 8 years and I absolutely love every minute of it! I love playing sports, dress up, reading, exploring nature, cooking, you name it I love doing it with children. Nothing is more rewarding than watching a child learn. I also am willing to tidy up things around the house if need be. I have experience doing aftercare at a private school as well as teaching (junior-k tikes, 1st graders, and 3-6th graders) so handling multiple children at a time is not an issue. I also have experience with children that have ADD/ADHD, OCD or other mental disorders, Aspergers, and allergies. My per hour rate depends upon if your child is coming to my home, if I am coming to your home (where you live), and what activities you want your child to be taking part in. I have a reliable Read more vehicle that can hold multiple children and I don't mind taking kids places.
