help with powerpoint
I am hoping to find a technologically savvy student or anyone who could teach me how to customize a powerpoint presentation with special effects (e.g., appearing and disappearing quotations, etc.).
Message me for any side gig needs!
Need a house sitter? pet sitter? babysitting? dog walking? or help with any random tasks? Let me know! My name is Adina Shane, a rising senior at Swarthmore. I’ll be on campus until the last week of July and am free for most of the summer besides a few weekends.
I have all of my childcare certifications in the state or PA, first aid and CPR, and have about 8 years of working with children. I’m good with animals and can take your pet on nice walks or care for them while you’re out of town!
Please feel free to send an email or text. Happy to meet in person or have a brief call to learn more about me!
Garden Metal Sculpture
Hello,
I am currently a Senior at Swarthmore with one semester left! At my time here I have double majored in Art and Psychology. During my time here I had the blessing to work on a metal structure for about 2 years. Now that I have one semester left I’m hoping to find My Shrine of Servitude a loving home. The price is very negotiable as I mostly want to find a place where it can live a long life. Below are some details on the sculpture and you can also view my website https://sites.google.com/view/alyia-rebecca-carlson/home?authuser=3 or my instagram @alyia_arc_studio for more images and details. Of course you can shoot me an email with questions and I can send photos and information there as well!
My Shrine Of Servitude:
consists of 5 metal panels that are approximately 6 ft tall 2 1/2 ft wide and 3 ft long.
These panels were Mig welded by me.
4 panels made of Lace dipped into acrylic paint (waterproof) — these panels are optional

Tutor/Tennis instructor
Hi, I’m a rising junior at Swat hoping to work with kids in some capacity this summer. I’m studying English Lit and Philosophy, and for the past two years I played on the Swat tennis team. I’d love to teach kids tennis or hit with anyone at any level. I’d also love to help high schoolers with college essay writing or kids of any age with writing or reading comprehension. I’ll be in Swarthmore during June and July, and I can tutor online from May to September.
