Babysitter, Parent helper, Nanny, Au pair $25/hour
Hi! I'm Julia, a 17 (almost 18) year old senior in high school. I have my driver's license and drive my own car. I have been trained and certified in first aid, AED, and adult and child CPR through my school's health class. I have also been trained in food service. I love working with animals and young children, I have worked with children through VBS, and my Church's nursery. I plan on going to college for animal rescue as well! I am usually pretty flexible, the only issue I would have with scheduling is Color Guard practices, dance, school events, church events, and family events. I also usually have choir after school every Monday from 2:40-4:00. I have school from 7:55-2:40. On Thursday, I have dance from 7:45-8:45, and I have Color guard practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the week either 5-8 or 2-6. I don't have these rehearsals every week, so I may be free on those days. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
