Marchia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi- my name Marchia. I’m offering childcare, senior care and household services. I am a very humble person, I have a special love for children and the elderly. I am very clean and organized and I enjoy cooking. In my experience working with babies I wholeheartedly enjoy being apart of their formative years and witnessing their personalities coming together. I have approximately 2.5 years experience working with children professionally but almost 20 years in total babysitting and looking after my own brother and cousins. I work really well with seniors and enjoy conversations with them as well.
