Audrey $12 per hour for 1 child

I have worked as a tutor in many capacities for years, as well as in my Church's preschool, nursery, and VBS roles. I have also been in customer service for years and involved with many programs that require me to be a good people person. I love the opportunity to interact with kids and help them feel supported, as I believe that one of the most rewarding feelings is to watch as they learn and grow. Similarly, I have worked for years as a pet-sitter and greatly enjoy the feeling of a pet opening up to me for the first time. I am kind, patient, and very good at working with all age groups. I hope to help provide support to your family and loved ones soon.
