My general availability would be Mondays and Wednesdays, between the approximate hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. I am a Long Beach local, residing in the East End, and I am looking to work within walking distance of my home.

I am happy to assist with diaper changes and creating and/or adhering to nap/feeding schedules, and I am a skilled and patient homework helper. I am very comfortable with pets (I have a large fur-family of my own), and am also an experienced dog walker and dog/cat sitter. I am definitely Read more a “child at heart”, who loves to play with and engage children in all kinds of endeavors, such as arts and crafts, baking, dress-up and make-believe, outside sports and activities, or anything else your child loves to do!
