Angelina $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable, and outgoing college student currently studying pharmacy and works as a pharmacy technician. I have several years of hands-on caregiving experience, including caring for my younger siblings and babysitting for other families with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I’m great at keeping children engaged, creating a safe and fun environment, following routines, and staying calm and solution-oriented when unexpected situations come up. I’m also an experienced pet caregiver and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, fish, and various small rodents. I’m organized, responsible, and comfortable helping with cleaning and keeping things tidy, including more thorough cleaning when needed. As a college student, I’m looking for flexible caregiving opportunities that work around my class schedule while allowing me to earn extra income. I truly enjoy caring for others and would love to be someone your family can trust!
