I was a head counselor in the Wantagh Foundation's Summer Rec. program for four years. I had a steady babysitting job to take care of 3 boys after school with age ranges from 4, 6, and 10. --they felt like little brothers. I decided to go back to school after graduating in 2020 and would love to jump back into babysitting.
