Hello! My name is Vee, and I'm currently attending Mesa Community College, majoring in Musical Theatre. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience working with children, from newborns to teenagers, both as a babysitter and a counsellor. I love playing and encouraging imagination, I’m very crafty, I have experience in tutoring and helping with homework, I can cook, and I’m a singer! I am certified in adult and pediatric first aid/CPR. I love working with animals, and have owned many over the course of my life. I have no allergies, so I can work with any animals you may have. I have direct experience with more traditional pets – such as dogs, cats, rodents – and with more exotic animals – like most reptiles and birds. I am experienced in household chores, like cooking, cleaning, laundry. I will happily help clean your house, and I have no issue with house-sitting, especially if you have plants.
