Sitter available for the summer
Hey! I’m a 20 year old college student coming home for the summer (early May) and I would love to get back into my regular babysitting/nannying during these summer months! If you’re looking for someone to help out around the house and engage in meaningful activities with your children, I would love to chat and see if I could be a good fit for you and your family. I am great with kids, as I have been babysitting for the majority of my adult life and would absolutely love to continue with this responsibility in the summertime. I am able to provide a resume and/or a list of contacts.
