Hi! My name is Maxine and I am a rising junior at Syracuse University. I study International Relations and Digital Humanities, with a minor in Spanish. I am offering services in childcare and tutoring services. I have been a babysitter all throughout high school and was a mothers’ helper in middle school and always enjoy working with kids. I can cook and can do pick-up/driving. I can help with homework and also tutor children in Spanish. Kids need to start learning a second language at a young age to obtain fluency. I love crafts, dancing, singing, and games! I am comfortable around dogs. Please reach out with any inquires or questions!
