Hi! My name is Ally and I'm a School Social Worker at an elementary school. I work primarily with students who are PreK-2nd grade. I am offering child care and pet care. I love spending time with kids and have been babysitting various ages since I was 15 years old. I enjoy doing anything (games, crafts, helping with homework, driving to activities, etc)!
