Meet Clara
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I'm a college student at Marquette University but I will be living at home this summer with my parents who work for Iowa State! I have Honda accord and a perfect driving record. I have a dog who is very active and I am great with all pets! I've had lizards, frogs, and turtles growing up as well I am comfortable with any animal really. I'm comfortable with sick children and multiple children. I have experience working with special needs children as well. I work for the newspaper at my school, so I am used to random and last minute hours, as well as dealing with difficult situations. I love making creative meals for kids, and finding fun things to do. I grew up in Ames so I know the ins and outs of the area very well. I was a very adventurous child so I have no issue taking Read more kids to do outdoor things, and have lots of favorite places I used to go. I can do housework, my mom made sure of that. I work hard and have a great resume, I took lots of AP classes in high school, and I am a double major in college, so I could definitely work through summer school books with kids too. I am CPR certified, and can swim very well. I have played flute since the age of 11, and soccer since the age of 6. I can provide proof of my driving record and academic record.
