Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and learn about me! I currently work in banking full time, but grew up around kids and I enjoy spending time with them. I spend a lot of time in college and after college babysitting for multiple different families with different ages! My availability is some evenings and some weekends. I’m looking for jobs that could be weekly and/or as needed. Babysitting is something I have always enjoyed and I miss being around littles!
