Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I recently moved to the area from New York and am excited to get connected with families in the community. I work full-time but am looking to take on extra work doing something I truly enjoy, caring for kids and pets! I have over 5+ years of experience with babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting. I began babysitting when I was around 16 and have since worked with children ages 1–10. I also have years of experience working in my church nursery, which gave me the opportunity to care for little ones. In addition to childcare, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and energy levels. I’m a high-energy, people-loving person who genuinely enjoys keeping families’ homes and pets happy and cared for. I’m looking forward to helping out local families and becoming part of this wonderful community!
