Hi, I’m Dinusha. I’m offering child care and senior care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborn baby, infant, toddler and kids since 2019. My responsibilities have feeding, reading books, playing. I have been caring my own grandma, she is dementia patient I take care of her since 2015. And I’m comfortable with senior care also. I can cook drive to the appointments and go to grocery shopping with them and spending time with them (reading, singing, dancing) Thank you
