A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mariam and I have been babysitting all of my life as the third oldest of nine children, but I have been professionally babysitting for the past three years. I love children and pets as well; I don't discriminate haha! strive to satisfy both the needs of the children (and pets) in my care and their parents and I will work my hardest to do so. I volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Animal Shelter and I do petsitting as well, so I am definitely comfortable with animals, too. I am willing to do light cleaning around the house as well! I tutor children as well if needed! You can contact me through here or my email [email hidden] or my phone number [phone number hidden]!
