Hi! My name is Ally! I’m currently looking for ideally part time consistent work. To best align hours, I just wanted to preface I work a part time, remote job Monday through Thursday; 9:00am-1:00pm. I’ve been babysitting kids around my neighborhood for years now and regularly babysat my little cousin as he grew up! My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities/school/sports, as well entertaining/keeping them busy, supervising in general, and making meals/snacks. I’m also a very active outdoorsy person, so I’d be happy to keep the kids active on walks. Even trips to any close by parks. I’m a big animal person!
