Ava $15 per hour for 1 child
I am a second-year medical student at Loyola with a background in neuroscience and I am looking to help families, offering child and senior care. I have experience as a caregiver for my grandmother and for my autistic brother. I have also worked as a math tutor, so I am happy to help with tutoring or errands like driving to/from school and appointments. Ideally, I am hoping to house-sit and have time to study for my own school work alongside helping kids with their homework. I am allergic to animal dander, but I am a huge animal lover nevertheless! Other fun facts about me: I play the flute and piano, I used to play soccer and now rock climb, and I volunteer at the Field Museum!
