Hi guys! My name is Hannah and I am currently enrolled at USM. I am a nursing major! I am located in Hattiesburg and am looking for local babysitting (and/or petsitting) gigs, primarily so I can make some extra money while in school. While I don’t have much professional babysitting experience, I have worked in aftercare for a school in New Orleans for some months and have younger siblings that I’ve had to care for at times. I will need to work around my school schedule and, if okay with the employer, may need to bring my schoolwork with me to work on during spare time, especially if I am needed for a longer period. If driving is necessary, I would like some extra compensation for gas. I like to say I adopt an older sister role, and I would be so grateful to be trusted with your loved ones!
