Hi, I am Brandi. I am currently in my junior year at Metropolitan State University. I am offering child care, senior care and household services! I love spending time with family as it’s important to me! I have been babysitting for a couple years now. I enjoy doing activities such as coloring, playing games, and crafts with children. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands as well. I am comfortable with senior care as well, I have been a caretaker for my grandparents for quite some time now.
