Hi - I’m Matt I live on North Padre Island For work, I landscape, take folks for guided horse rides, make and sell kites, and teach guitar I like naturalism, history, traditional archery, fitness, writing, gardening, and cooking I’m offering •Household maintenance and pet sitting I’m a tidy person, I enjoy and have cared for a variety of pets like cats, dogs, and birds (I’ve got a snake - he’s 15), I haven’t gotten a traffic ticket in a decade, I’m handy around the house, and I keep my word •Child care and tutoring Depending on your wishes, I can coach your kid in some areas I’m savvy like math, science, history, geography, English, music, swimming, archery, fishing, sewing, painting, or even horsemanship and dog training I’m also happy to simply provide a cooked meal, some companionship or supervision, and a chill environment for them to pursue their interests and responsibilities •Senior care and assistance I’m patient, and I’ve got some humor. I’m literate and pretty cultured for the standards of the age, so I’m good with old folks, and I’m also familiar with the special care necessary for those with difficult physical or mental situations I follow the golden rule, and I think of mankind as my brothers and sisters, and I have wide skill set, so I’m a bit more expensive than some babysitters, but I’m worth it I’d enjoy working for folks I can form a genuine friendship with, but in regards to tutoring/certain goals you’d like met, maintenance and errands, or the requirements of your loved one and your schedule, I’m also comfortable with a more formal and purely professional situation As you like it👍 If that sounds good or you want to know more, reach out and let’s chat Yo solo comenzado hablar en español dos semanas (visite Perú para ayudar en un orfanato) pero aprendo rapido😁
