My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities/school/sports, as well entertaining/keeping them busy, supervising in general, and making meals/snacks. I’m also a very active outdoorsy person, so I’d be happy to keep the kids active on walks. Even trips to any close by parks. I’m a big animal person! So I would be love to help out in a home with cats or dogs. Happy to entertain/keep pets busy as well. I have experience petsitting of cats/dogs, for those that are looking for that.
