A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Asha and I love hanging out and taking care of kids! I'm home for a month in Athens before I head up to Wisconsin to work as a camp counselor and lead canoe and backpacking trips for middle schoolers! I'm looking for some quick babysitting gigs to make a little money while I'm home. I have super flexible hours and am free most days. I just finished my freshman year at the University of Vermont as a member of the Patrick Leahy Honors College and a Human Development and Family Sciences major. I love spending time outside, being with people I love, traveling, reading, playing games, and meeting new people!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Addie 😊 I’m a student at the University of Georgia graduating in 2028, and I am looking for a long-term part-time position with a family during the school year. I am open to both regular nannying and occasional babysitting, and love becoming someone families can rely on. I started babysitting at 12 and have cared for kids from 3 months old through middle school. I nannied this past summer for two girls and have managed up to six kids at once ages 6 months to 8 years.

I have tutoring experience so I am happy to help with homework. I am also a lifeguard and swim instructor and enjoy safe outdoor activities. I play the piano and viola, like crafts and baking, limit screen time, cook simple meals, and always clean up before parents get home. My schedule is flexible outside of class, and I aim to be a steady, dependable presence in your home. I can't wait to meet you!
