Laura $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I have a passion for working with animals, children, and helping families with house cleaning. I have 8 years of experience as a professional pet groomer and 2 years of experience working with children with special needs in elementary and junior high. Through those roles, I've developed a lot of patience, flexibility, and strong communication skills. I'm hard of hearing and wear a cochlear implant, which allows me to hear very well. I'm also fluent in ASL and comfortable working with children or adults who use sign language. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where kids can thrive. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in fun activities, caring for pets, or keeping a home tidy, I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy. I'm happy to provide references upon request.
