Danica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Danica, a recent master’s graduate in education with a strong background in childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve spent over three years working with toddlers and older children in Montessori classrooms, early intervention settings, and as a caregiver, plus some experience with infants. I love doing crafts, baking, and spending time outdoors with kids, and I’m always happy to help with homework too. I’m also an animal lover! I have two cats and a dog of my own and have cared for many pets over the years. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just playing and giving them attention, I’m comfortable with all breeds (even the big, fluffy ones). On top of that, I can help keep your home running smoothly. I have past experience as a house cleaner and can take care of cooking, cleaning, errands, laundry, and organizing. Families can count on me to be warm, reliable, and to keep their home running smoothly while making every day feel special and fun for their children.
