Hi, I'm a 25 year old social work student at the University of Pittsburgh. I have years of babysitting/nannying experience with children of all ages, ranging from months old to teenagers. I am looking for a family who needs someone to watch their child/children for a few hours a week. I have a vehicle am willing to help with laundry and cooking as well. I would be available Monday mornings and all day Fridays. If you work part time, want a few hours to yourself, or need after school help, I might be a good fit for your family! Thanks!
