I am a 26 years old self-employed artist, and to supplement my income I am a caregiver and pet sitter. Please feel free to contact me to arrange an in-person interview or a phone chat. I am looking for a job with meaning and purpose. I love children and would like to focus more of my energy on in-home care. Arts & crafts and music are an every day occurrence in my life. In my free time, I read a lot of books, hula hoop, sew, braid, and paint. I enjoy sharing my love cooking and gardening. I have been babysitting since the age of thirteen, mainly for families I met through my hobbies. For 2years I worked with a childcare co-op, helping babysit twice a month for parent/teacher nights. Past clients describe me as enthusiastic, punctual, and encouraging. For years I was heavily involved in community theatre, so I Read more have a lot of experience overseeing, organizing, and keeping everyone safe, following the rules, all while having fun. During my years working at bookstores, I hosted many story times and special events for children.
