I’m a flexible and easygoing person who works well in different situations. I’m good with both kids and pets, whether it’s babysitting for family friends or helping take care of animals. I’m patient and responsible, and I enjoy making sure people (and pets) feel safe and comfortable. I also like spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, surfing, or just hanging out at the beach, and I try to bring a positive attitude to whatever I’m doing. I’m always open to learning new things and taking on different tasks when needed.
