Activity summary
Welcome message:
Hi! My name is Poppy, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable 16-year-old online student looking for opportunities to babysit children and pet sit. Since I attend school online, I have a flexible schedule and can work around your family’s needs. I love spending time with kids, keeping them entertained, helping with activities, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also an animal lover and would be happy to care for your furry family members, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company.
