Mckenna $19 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Mckenna and I am a sophomore student athlete at Corban University. My schedule consists of mostly nights and Sundays due to practice and class. My services include baby sitting, house sitting, and cat/dog sitting! Originally from Montana, I love things like sports, games, fishing, and spending time outdoors. I am also a christian and love a sweet treat! I have been told that I am enthusiastic, organized, energetic, kind, and respectful. I love working with kids, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re safe and cared for. I also can care for pets, preferably cats and dogs. I have two labs at home that I absolutely adore! My third service is house sitting! Since my schedule is mostly nights, I would also add that I am CPR certified and confident at handling unexpected situations. I aim to create a positive and comfortable environment!
