Ethan $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ethan, and I’m a dependable, energetic, and service-oriented professional with a diverse background working with families, students, and busy households. I previously served on staff at several churches, including Prestonwood Baptist Church, where I worked as a Worship Associate in the Student Ministry—giving me years of experience caring for and mentoring middle-school and high-school–aged kids. I’m currently a full-time musician, wedding singer, and DJ, and I’m also studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer. Because my work is contract-based, I value opportunities that offer flexibility while still allowing me to show up fully, reliably, and with a great attitude. I’m comfortable working with older children (6th grade and up), and I’m also available for house sitting and pet sitting. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your space, and happy to help with light household tasks if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your home, your pets, or your kids, I take pride in being someone you can count on. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your life a little easier!
