I am a 22-year-old Boston University graduate who majored in psychology. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been working with children since my first job at the age of 13. In high school, I was a camp counselor for 3 and 4-year-olds. During that time, I babysat for many families I met while working at summer camp. Once I went to college, I worked in a child development lab where I worked with school-age children. I am CPR-certified. I have been surrounded by pets my whole life and feel very comfortable taking care of any pets whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.

Hi! My name is Paul and I’m currently a sophomore at Miami University. I offer babysitting, pet care, and house care services. I've always enjoyed spending time with children, whether it's with cousins or other family members—and I'm great at making sure they’re entertained and safe! I'm happy to help with all kinds of activities, including games, reading, and bedtime routines. I also love animals and can provide care for any of your furry friends, including feeding, walks, and playtime. If you need help around the house—cleaning, organizing, or running errands—I’d be happy to assist. I’ll be heading back to school at the end of the summer, but I’m available to help whenever I can before then. Feel free to reach out if you think I’d be a good fit for your family!
