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 :)
