Hello my name is Elena. I
am currently in college but I will be home starting July 1st, and would love to help you with any pet or child care!
As for my prior experience, for the last 4 years I have consistently helped walk and take care of family friends pets: cats, dogs, and birds. I have had some of those dogs stayovernight at my house. I have taken care of all types of dogs, small and large. I also had a dog for 15 years, so I know all there is to pet care.
As for child care, I baby sat a 6-month-old for about a month and then I was a camp counselor for ages 4 to 13 last summer.
I'd describe my personality as fun, laid-back, and hard working...
