• Feeding and walking the family pet
• Driving the children to school, shopping for groceries and other errands

I am proud to say that I am a take-charge kind of person, very hardworking, honest and reliable when it comes to my tasks. All my past employers are very satisfied with my work, you may call them to verify my employment record and job performance. Attached herewith is my resume and references.
