Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 8 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Salt Lake City, UT 84132

Meet Mara

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hello! My name is Mara Taylor and I have 8 years of payed babysitting experience, I have 4+ experience years as a ski instructor, and 2 years of experience as a piano instructor. I am 20 years old and a current sophomore at the University of Utah, and am originally from New Hampshire! I am more than happy to be high energy and engaging with children. I care so much that the kids that I babysit not only are safe, but are happy and having fun! Any outdoors sports or indoor games they want to play I am very willing to do. I also have 10+ years experience of piano and would be able to tutor them if they are interested. Or any instrument if they would like to learn more music theory. I can help with any homework if needed as well. :) I have a license and am Read more willing to drive whenever and wherever. I have a Mazda CX-9 that seats 7. Communication is very important to me and I have no problem enforcing any household rules. I am cpr certified and first aid trained. Children’s safety is a number 1 priority of mine and I take it very seriously. I am very outgoing, but if you have a child that’s shy and would rather draw silently or read I’m all about doing whatever your child enjoys best and can cater to any personality type. I would be willing to help cook, clean, and do any other household chores. I love dogs and cats and have no issue feeding or taking care of animals as well. I am a huge fan of zero screen time and if you want your kids to disconnect and just be outside or inside playing games and using their brain. I have no issue being completely away from screens the entire time I am there. :) I am a college student looking to come home for the summertime. I would be looking for a full time nanny position that pays 20+ an hour. I will be back in New Hampshire starting in June, and returning to school around August 10th. I am very flexible with days and hours, that schedule is whatever you would like it to be!
