Daniela $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Daniela and I am offering child, pet, and household support. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I have mostly watched children from ages 5-12. However, I do have experience with newborns. My responsibilities with the children were often taking them home from school, tutoring, and basic monitoring. As in, helping with homework, feeding them dinner, and playing games. I have had many pets over the years, mainly cats. I am, unfortunately, allergic to dogs. But, I love cats and would be so happy to take care of yours. Since I have my own I understand them well. I am aware feeding times are strict and must be adhered to. As well as, enrichment through playtime being crucial. I can also help in the home. I can clean and do chores. I don't mind doing dishes, sweeping, or even dusting. I am excited to work with you!
