Activity summary
Welcome to my corner of the babysitting/petsitting world!
I'm a current college senior with seven years of babysitting under my belt! As a former camp counselor and lifeguard, I am well experienced in keeping children safe while making sure they have a wonderful time! I'm a skilled chef and baker and more than happy to help out around the kitchen as well. As a young college student, I am completely happy to stay up quite late after putting your children to bed, so that you can enjoy a night out! I love board games and arts and crafts and have been known to make a mean hand turkey! I am experienced taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits but am happy to befriend any family zoo! Please contact me if you have further questions or to set up a meeting! I can't wait to meet you :)
