Looking for a fun, creative, inclusive experienced preschool teacher?
Looking for a fun, creative, inclusive, preschool teacher to baby sit your child/children with experience working with large groups of children aged 15 months - 11years? I’m your match! With nearly a year of working in licensed childcare facilities (both as an educator and support worker), and 5 years of babysitting experience, I bring an educated, playful, and safe environment to any child I work with. I am currently certified in standard emergency and AED first aid (available upon request) and in the active process of achieving my ECE certificate! I also have a clear criminal background check (available upon request). Outside of my work, I have studied classical piano for nearly twelve years! I’ve provided beginner piano lessons/ tutoring children in my family, and I’d love to expand that as-well if interested! I’ve had multiple cats my whole life and loved helping my mother who fosters kittens-seniors since I was a young age! If you think we’re the right fit, I’m excited to hear from you!
