Joseph $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, diligent and efficient semi-retired senior citizen looking for people oriented part time employment. I am good with children as I raised one to be a responsible & self reliant adult. I helped care for a 90+ year old parent until his passing. I have had dogs/cats all my life and am an ASPCA senior provider. I am a stickler for neatness around the house & cooking is my hobby. I hope to hear from you soon.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
