Hi there! My name is Ebony, and I'm a newsletter editor/freelance writer. In my spare time, you'll find me at a museum or and reading in a park, weather permitting. I've worked with kids for over 10 years as a camp counselor, reading tutor, babysitter, and ESOL instructor. As a former improv performer, I'm always up for playing make-believe, singing and dancing! My experience is mostly with toddlers and school-aged children, but I have worked with infants as well. I'm very comfortable with animals, and have actually pet sit all over the country (via Trusted Housesitters). My schedule varies, but I am typically available for weekend/date-night care. I'd love to build a bond with a family and become their regular sitter. Thank you for your time and consideration!
“Ebony was very friendly and punctual We would definitely have her sit again”
