Hello! I have worked with children off and on for over 20 years, including as a preschool teacher, daycare worker, camp counselor, elementary classroom assistant, and nanny. I also have a professional background in visual arts, non-profit work, and customer service, and through it all, working with kids has been one of my very favorite jobs, I get to play all day! My core MO with kids is engagement, I am always talking to, singing to, playing with, and interacting with the little ones that I care for. Of the utmost importance to me is what your little one likes and wants to do- I set boundaries around safety and respecting others, and collaborate with the children on the rest. I'm currently available for occasional full days and evenings. Families looking for a regular occasional sitter welcome. I would love to meet your family! **Please note** not available for full or part time positions, 7hr daytime minimum, rates start at $27/hr (the living wage), no unpaid trials. Thank you!
Sway is professional, kind, and great with our son. We would gladly rehire in the future! Thanks, Sway
