Arhyana $16 per hour for 1 child
Child care: I’ve been my family’s babysitter for my cousins and siblings since a very young age, i’ve babysat the babies, toddlers, kids, and teens my entire life! I enjoy working with kids, I think they’re extremely bright and can become such wonderful people. I know that I am alternative looking and can be a little intimidating in that manner but I promise the way I look has no effect on my genuine love for what I do! Pet care: I love animals! I volunteer with kittens (young, just shy of adopting age) and I have owned a small dog all my life! I have dog sat for a VERY large boxer , a large doodle, a dog that was bigger than I am, and more. I love dogs!! Other animals i am not experienced with I am open to as long as there is clear care instructions 😊 Senior Care: I took care of my older family members for entire summers at a time, however I am not as experienced and would appreciate clear instructions here aswell. Other services: General house sitting, errands, etc. Light cleaning and organizing!
