Hey love I’m currently getting ready to start work but I’m still available. I don’t start work until the next 2 weeks so far I am available. I love helping out and I could use the extra cash as a side hustle for myself. I just moved back to chicago in February, I left at 19 to go to college and I came back to work and stack up more money to make sure I’m good , just a fresh start. I love kids , I love watching tv with the kids, playing, I even specialize in housekeeping and caregiving.

Hello!
My name is Crystal and I'm looking to gain experience in child and animal care. Why? Well, as I've been exploring new opportunities lately, I've realized that out of all the kids I teach, spaces I take care of, and animals I meet, I hardly get to maintain any personal connection I create with any of them given my age. My live gets incredibly busy, but I still want to be able to make the most out of tasks that don't feel like hard work the whole time; ones that I can have fun in. I have a flexible schedule during summer and other breaks, so what's listed on my profile may be different from how much time I have to do my favorite thing---Help others!
