Hi! I’m Savannah, I’m 17 years old, and I am currently attending San Jose State University! I have worked at a Build-A-Bear for about a year and a half at SeaWorld San Diego, where I worked one on one with kids often, helping them stuff bears, performing a “heart ceremony” with them, and helped them dress their bears! I really enjoy working with kids and I wanted to do some babysitting on the side as I do schooling! My schedule is free until about 5 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. My schedule is free after 5 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I am completely free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! I am open to working early in the morning or late at night! I’m looking forward to what opportunities this can bring me!
