Danielle $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Daniela, I just moved to Arlington Tx from California. I have two sons of my own still in elementary. I have worked with seniors in an office setting for about 9 years fulltime. Occasionally I help on the floor as needed with caregiving. Currently I’ve have been missing the baby stages and was hoping I could fill my weekends with lending a hand to families. My availability is Friday night, Saturday and Sundays. I believe I have nurturing qualities and will to try and make a difference when I’m around. I’m reliable, punctual alongside flexible. I hope to bring peace of mind, trust, and relief when being around. Thanks!
