A little bit about me

I tend to wake up ready to go and find many productive and funt things to do with my time. I love gardening and outdoor activities but I also just like painting inside with a relaxing book every now and then. I am about to start school online for my bachelor's in cloud computing and I also work on houses as an assistant. As much as I am technical minded I also am creative and childlike. I have a lot of patience. In the past I've mostly worked with small babies and toddlers but I've watched children of all ages.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Gabrielle! Although I may not have paid work experience, I do have a younger very energetic brother who keeps me on my toes! I value time with little ones making them feel just as seen as any parent would. I believe every child should experience the same extent of care and comfort even when the parents aren't there.
Bonus!! because I’m transitioning from being a restaurant front of house manager I’m very big on keeping everything clean and I’m great at multi-tasking!!
A few of my hobbies include making artwork, volunteering at animal shelters, and going to hobby lobby lol.
I’m all about balance and making the best of everyday and look forward to talking with you.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Mara Hartzog and I am currently 20 years old. Originally I am from Sikeston, MO but am relocating to St. Louis to pursue my Bachelor of Arts & Science degree at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I am very excited to be in STL to be closer to my friends and relatives. I know the city like the back of my hand! My past job consisted of being a barista & shift lead for nearly 3 years and in that time, I enjoyed spreading positivity to all my coworkers and customers. We all were trained to be team leaders and assist anyones needs. Before, I worked as a store pricer and was responsible for all the items placed on the floor and absolutely had to maintain honesty. During my years in high school, I worked at a gymnastics gym where I taught children aged 2 to 8 how to tumble and flip. Overall, being a gymnastics instructor was my most enjoyable job. I felt amazing seeing the children I worked with grow and improve their skills while building unforgettable bonds.
