Booked by 1 family in Maxwell, IN
Hi my preferred name is Remus. I’m an 18-year-old high school senior with years of hands-on caregiving experience. I’ve spent much of my teen years helping care for my family, and at gatherings I’m often the go-to babysitter, keeping kids safe, entertained, and engaged. I’m also very helpful with elder adults, assisting with daily tasks and providing companionship. I’m reliable when it comes to cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a tidy home. I have a genuine love for animals and am comfortable caring for pets as well. I’m patient, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone.
“My kids absolutely loved Remus! ”

I’m patient, energetic, and easy to communicate with, and I always want parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their kids in my care.
