Tyara $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tyara (Ty-"air"-uh). I recently graduated from Liberty Hill High School and in the fall I will be attending Michigan State University, (Go Green!) where I will be studying social work. Since my freshman year of high school, I participated in an "education endorsement" which involves classes that prepare me for a career in education and other forms of training. I love kids and I would like to have a career that involves working with kids in the future. I have a fun and easy-going personality and I adapt and respond easily to any situation I encounter. I also have experience working with pets and I have a pet dog (Yorkshire terrier) of my own. Looking forward to working with you!
