Eloho $50 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm a caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for kids from infancy through middle school age, and over 10 years of experience caring for seniors as well. I'm also CPR certified, and I've spent 5+ years pet sitting and boarding cats and dogs. I'm warm, observant, and consistent — the people (and pets!) in my care feel comfortable with me quickly, and clients can count on me to stick to routines, follow instructions closely, and pay close attention to each individual's needs. Whether it's soothing an infant, keeping a senior company, or walking a dog, I bring the same level of care every time. I'd love to help support your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
