Need help with your pets, kids, or around the house?

Olivia from Whitby

Hey everyone!

My name is Livie, I'm 19 years old. I'm new to Neighbourly so I hope I'm doing this right!

As you probably know, it's rough out there trying to find a job. After many applications, I've decided to try another route in hopes of meeting people and getting myself out there.
I have a huge passion for animals and helping others, so whether you need dog walking, pet sitting, baby sitting, gardening, or cleaning, I'm your gal!
I am also Grade 7 in piano and am very happy to provide piano lessons for anyone eager to learn. I have taught keyboard at Tawa Music Center, and love sharing the joy of music.

I don't have any set rates and have no problem working out together what would be affordable for you. Most importantly, I just want to get out of my comfort zone at home, help people, and form connections.

My email address is : livie.turley@gmail.com
And phone number: 021 206 6839

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from some lovely people in the area! :)
