Samantha $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and enthusiastic person who loves working with children and animals. I’ve been working at a preschool for a little over a month, and I absolutely love it! Although I currently work with preschool-aged children, I’m open to caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all kinds of activities with kids, from playing games and making crafts to helping them learn and explore new things. I want every child to feel safe, happy, and cared for while having fun and being themselves. I’m also happy to offer pet-sitting services! I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I’ve been helping foster cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your children or look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to help!
