I'm a full-time researcher at an education think tank in San Mateo. In recent years, I've provided my family and friends with free weekend, evening, and overnight childcare, but am now looking to earn a little money on the side doing what I love best--caring for children. I've always loved children and have more than 20 years of experience caring for them. As the second of eight children, I grew up caring for my younger siblings; I also babysat regularly during high school and college. I'm comfortable with children and able to connect with them well. I can also provide additional services such as tutoring and homework help.
