hi families I'm looking a way to make extra money so I'm interested in occasional jobs. I'm not looking a babysitter position but I'll help with chores around the house, unboxing, light cleaning, go errands, etc ...

I am 29 years old, live in shelton, and am currently in my graduate program for clinical mental health and I am in my internship phase to become a licensed professional counselor. It is really hard to work full time due to the time I have to put into my school and internship. I am looking to do nanny work so I am able to have some income while having flexibility. I have taken care of kids for 12+ years. I was a nanny for a family of 4 kids and 3 dogs for 3+ years. They were all under the age of 8 when I first started with them, and the 2 youngest girls were twins! I have always loved kids and have 2 nieces that I adore (one is 3 and one is 1). I have experience in school settings and psychiatric hospital settings. I am dependable and trustworthy. I absolutely love kids. I am always willing to help out around the house! I'm great with all ages and enjoy playing games, coloring, going outside etc! I am looking for part time work. Schedule is pretty open. I have an ESA golden retriever female Kona who will be 5. Because i have a dog, I cannot be gone for more than 5 hours at a time. She is great with kids and other dogs as well. Well behaved, does not jump or bark. If any family is up for it, she can come with me and I would be able to do more hours! I am very neat and organized and will always clean up, you won't even notice that a dog has been there :)
