Hi, my name's Katie, I'm 19 years old and have taken the year off after pursuing a BA at UWO.
I have more than five years experience working with individuals with special needs looking after all aspects of care, feeding, changing, toileting in addition to planning activities. In addition I have a 7 year old brother who I've been babysitting since his birth.
I've also worked short term with a gentleman with Parkinson's.
I've had both cats and dogs as family pets since I was a little girl.
Look forward to hearing from you, if you have any questions feel free to ask! 8)
*I feel that wages should be discussed, as I am qualified to work in a number of different fields and it would not be fitting to state pay the same for all. Babysitting your eight year old in comparison to your eight month old are two very different jobs 8)

Hobbies and interests
I'm a very social person, I've been a camp cousellor for years, I like hanging out with my friends, going out for coffee,catching some live music or just relaxing at home with a good movie or book.
In nice weather I love to be outside, go for a walk, ride my bike or get some friends together for a pick up game.
I can't braid hair very well but maybe your daughter could teach me if she needs to for a dance recital

Pet sitters

Skills:

Experience in pet care:
I have had cats and dogs most of my life growing up aswell as some goldfish. I have no problem bathing, bathrooming feeding pets. Aswell as walking dogs or playing with them to burn off extra energy, or extra treats you slipped them.
I myself don't feel comfortable taking your pet to an open park, as it would be hard to gauge other animals there and their behaviours.
