Hi! I am an artist and graphic designer. I am looking for occasional babysitting/companion/light caregiving/errands/organizing work. I am in the process of starting a non-profit and I want to focus more on my artwork and encouraging the arts as I am unable to run my established graphic design business full-time any longer due to health issues. I am a very creative, caring, compassionate, and understanding person. I love to read and learn. I started babysitting when I was about 12. I also worked at preschool/daycare where I cared for and taught multiple children from nursery age to teens while I built my graphic design business. I have also tutored and given art lessons, which I really love. Ideally, I would love to sit with creative and/or highly sensitive children. They have special needs and creative outlets that are so very important to their growth and development, and that I understand. Read more I had sensory issues growing up, and still do to a certain extent, so I am very understanding and patient in that area especially.
