Patient Caregiver: Special Needs Experience | Avail. Mon/Wed/Sun
Hi Families!
THE CHILDCARE
I have 7+ years of experience as a sister to a sibling with autism, which has taught me a lot about patience and staying calm in busy environments. While I have specialized experience with neurodivergent children, I am happy to provide care for children of all ages and abilities. I'm happy to provide traditional childcare at home or act as a 'Church-Companion' on Sundays to help your little ones stay engaged during the service! Additionally, I am actively working on completing my CPR certification to ensure the highest level of safety for your family.
THE PETS
I have been surrounded by dogs and various animals since I was a child, giving me 7+ years of hands-on experience in pet care. I am very comfortable with daily feeding routines, providing plenty of exercise, and reading animal body language to ensure they stay happy and calm. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk or just some attentive company while you're away, I treat every animal with the same care and responsibility I give my own.
