Gwennyth $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is gwennyth and i'm a college student here in Dallas. I have 2 dogs of my own and grew up with little brothers so I'm super familiar with both! Child care: Open to all age ranges; I love arts and crafts and can help with homework/tutoring. I myself like to keep myself busy with stimulating games or arts and crafts. Pet care: Open to all breeds and sizes! My personal babies are a german shepard (3.5yo) and frenchie (1.5yo) so i'm well equipped. Household: Open to running errands, cleaning, organizing and very flexible with your needs. While I do offer to clean, that is not my primary job/interest so if that is something you're interested in, i'd appreciate if the supplies were available from you :)
