I have several years of child care experience, and the majority of that experience has been devoted to caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I also have experience caring for multiples, preemies, medically fragile infants, and I have cared for many children who have special needs and challenges. I greatly enjoy every aspect of nurturing babies and young children, actively engaging them, and helping them meet all their developmental milestones. I have a reliable car, am exceptionally pet-friendly, a non-smoker, and I'm willing to help out with light housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, and other household tasks. Additionally, I'm a college graduate, and I have current certification in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR and First Aid training. I am looking for a part or full-time position that offers a minimum of 20 hours a week and a maximum of 40 hours. I’m also available to babysit on weekends for date Read more nights, or other commitments.
