Experience: 16 yrs
I have been babysitting little kids since I was 13, I now have 16 years of experience. I'm patient with kids, and up to almost any task. I can do some cooking and lighthouse cleaning, along with the kids laundry. I have my own small vehicle, I am OK with running errands or driving the kids around. I am currently looking for work for the times I am not in school or working my school related program. I hold an Associates in Science and I am working toward becoming a teacher for kindergarten to 9th grade
We hired Dahlia for 5 weeks, however she quit via a text message at the end of week 2, with no notice. During the time she did work (2 weeks), she was responsible, punctual, and took great care of our child. However, the lack of notice is the reason for the low rating as it was very disappointing and made it very difficult to make alternate childcare arrangements at the last minute with no advance notice.
