A little bit about me
I’m a teenage high school graduate with a driver’s license and First Aid/CPR/AED certificate who loves working with kids of all ages! My main non-familial childcare experience is working as a Leader-in-Training and volunteer Junior Counselor at Camp Gravatt in Aiken, where I interacted with kids ages 5-15 and specifically helped take care of female children ages 5-7 and 10-11. My price varies per age and number of children, so the rate on my profile is just a benchmark.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Azalia but everyone calls me Tiffany :) I am 23 years young and positive attitude. I love working with children ages 0-11 months and 1-3 years old. I have been an art teacher, and I have worked on a military base with children in different age groups. However, the ages listed above are my preference. I have worked with two families in the past and they were very good to me and I love their children. Since I am an artist at heart, most likely if you leave your child with me we will be doing some art, exploring outside, and learning how to do basic things and to be gentle.
I do work another job so I am willing to work short shifts and maybe one full day out of the week. No weekend availability.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions:)

A little bit about me
Hello I'm Paige. I'm originally from West Virginia. I graduated college in 2019 with a electrical engineering degree. Even though my degree isn't relevant to children I have an extensive background working with children since I was 12. I love being able to help and teach children of any age. I am able to help learn, or teach any writing or reading skills. I'm very patient. Crafts, drawing,puzzles or board games are some activities. Safety is the most important thing to me when caring for any child. I don't mind light house work. In my spare time I enjoy learning, reading, spending time with my animals, and nature walks. I'm an outgoing, caring friendly smiling type of person.
