Hi my name is Kailen and I’m currently a full time college student at San Jacinto. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being around people and meeting new people, I have been around kids my whole life and helped take care of infants to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, crafts, and really good tutor. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a care taker for my grandparents before they passed away, I helped them workout, eat, walk, take blood sugar and they had cancer and dementia. I also love dogs so I wouldn’t mind pets.

Hi, my name is Ariel and I’m currently a substitute teacher for K-12 graders. I am offering childcare and household service. I love being a babysitter! I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, including twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have been to feed, cloth, tutor and help with sports. I enjoy completing household chores on my spare time. I like to be very organized. I prefer not to cook, but I can drive to and from doctor appointments, school or etc. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs that aren’t aggressive.
