Pet sitting! I’m a well organised student who’s had plenty of experience looking after a wide range of animals the past 2 summers. I stick to a regular time schedule and love to get to know your pet while I look after them. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, Guinea pigs, a tortoise and lots of fish; in addition to having 2 pet cats myself.

Tutoring - Level 4 - Hi! I am offering to tutor any primary school age child (up to 11+), in maths, English or science. I love working with kids, and as a student myself understand the struggles some face when learning. When tutoring I would aim to boost the child's confidence in the subject, as well as teaching them knowledge that can be applied throughout their school life. I can help remotely over zoom or in person, depending on preference. Thanks for reading and contact me for any further details :) “Because I have acquired experience in helping kids with Tutoring lessons, demonstrated that I am reliable and acquired positive reviews, MyPocketSkill now rates me as Level 4 experience. You are welcome to enquire about my references and past experience”

I get along gret with animals. Personal experience of keeping a fish tank full of 5 Shubunkins. It wasn't mine. Still I took care of it because it belonged to one of my housemates. Feeding food, changing water on time, cleaning the tank thoroughly, etc were my tasks, whithout any payment. So think, how great would it be if I get paid for petting animals. I personally love cats the most. Fun fact: It makes a human being calm just by staying in presence of cat. When it comes to dogs, those are some of the most obedient creatures. I've pet 2 tortoise in my childhood back in my home country and I know how much of a hustle it is to keep them and their environment clean.
