Old Lake Highlands, Dallas$15/hr | < 1 yr experience

I am a 15 year old high school student looking to find a babysitting/nanny job in the Plano/Frisco area this summer. I have very flexible hours so I am open to a full time or part time job. I love dogs and am comfortable around cats as well! I absolutely love spending time with kids and playing games, doing crafts, watching movies, and just hanging out! I also have two cousins that are toddlers and I have taken care of them many times and love any chance to see and hang out with them!
I am a very responsible and trustworthy person and I work very hard in school. I love organizing things (especially pantries) and my family and friends all ask for me to help them so I would be more than willing to do some small projects like that as well! In my free time I love to spend time with my family, color while listening to books, watch tv, or workout. Additionally, I am fully vaccinated and will be certified in CPR, first aid, and basic water saftey on July third.

Hi, My name is Liyah I am 18 years old with a lot of babysitting experience. I know I may be young and you might be thinking how can she have so much experience but, as a little girl I’ve always had to watch over family members and siblings and it taught me a lot and also helped me bond with children better And help me develop skills and learn from it. I am working at the moment but I can work around any times that you need me to babysit and getting this job you won’t regret it I’m hands on and am very well organized and work really well with children.
