Hi there, my name is Allison and i'm an energetic and intelligent 30-year-old! I am an engineer, on a sabbatical from work. I've always loved children and have spent years before I had a full time job as a babysitter. I'm looking for a part time position to start. My rates start at $25/hour for one child. (+$5 for each add. child) I'm CPR certified, have my own large safe car, and have taken courses in child development. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I can assist with homework, driving to activities, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I'm firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to cook, read, play tennis, and travel! I look forward to meeting you.
