Vin $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Vin and I'm a student at MCTC. I am offering child care and pet services. I have about 2 years of experience working with older elementary and middle school-aged kids. I enjoy helping with homework, keeping kids entertained with games and activities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m an animal lover with a lifelong passion for caring for pets. At home, I have one dog and three cats, and I’ve also cared for small pets like rats in the past. I am new to pet sitting professionally, but I bring years of hands-on experience from caring for my own animals. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets

Leticia $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Leticia and I’m from Brazil. I’m currently studying business at MCTC. I already have a full-job but they’re leaving for spring break (03/24-03/28) and I am looking for child care, pet care, or household services for the time period. I love babysitting and has been my main job for the last five years - and my secondary job since I was 18. From infants to teenagers - including twins and multiple kids. I have had many types of responsibilities during this time - driving to/from activities, meal prepping, helping with homework, crafts, etc. I’ve also worked as household assistant, helping with errands, light cleaning, some cooking. I love to work with dogs and cats and I'm super comfortable around them. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks :)
