Looking for someone to take care of E while I get some adulting done.

by Tinda • Leith Walk
Someone chilled and willing to interact with E as she is very curious and receptive. I would also prefer someone who is willing to commit to set hours as I work on an appointment basis and require to schedule the client appointments around Echildcare. I would ideally like a minimum of 4 hours - 3 days a week. E has fur allergies and she isn't yet able to get antihistamines due to her age. So if you have furry friends, they would have to be hypoallergenic for her sake.
