Savannah $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in North Houston, TX

Greetings! My name is Savannah and I’m currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas. I’m available for babysitting, pet, and household services. I completed a three year child-care course and am CPR certified. I started babysitting 7 years ago, and have dealt with children of all ages. Normally, I opt for playing games with children which encourage the use of creativity and imagination. Simultaneously, I have experience in tutoring, so I can help with homework if required. I am an emphatic dog lover, and have volunteered at the SPCA regularly for nearly two years. I’ve handled many creatures, big and small, over this time, therefore I am confident in my abilities to care for any dog. If you feel you need a hand in a cluttered house, I would be happy to lend you one. At times life can get messy, and our living spaces can as well. I am here to help make your life a little easier, and not to judge, so I assure you that there is no need to feel ashamed of whatever condition your house is in. If you are lacking certain cleaning supplies then I will bring them myself. If you feel that I may be fit to fulfill any of your needs, or have any additional inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you for your time, and have a lovely day :)
