I have three younger sisters whom I've helped take care of since I was 6. Professionally, I have volunteered at a cat adoption lounge for three years; this has provided me with both child and pet care experience. Most recently, I was a swim instructor at American Swim Academy; I was trained on water safety and how to develop correct technique in students. I worked with students from the age of two to adulthood. I recertified my 2-year CPR/First Aid/AED certificate on July 11th, 2026, and have completed the American Red Cross Childcare course.

Hello, I am 22 years old currently and a full-time student. Although I don't have any official credentials or education, I have lived with my 7 sisters for years. I grew up in a household where the oldest took care of the youngest, which I did. I have experienced changing diapers, bathing newborns, putting them to sleep, etc. I have experience with newborns up to 16 years old. I have sisters who were all different ages, and that has always been amazing. I love to cook and garden when possible. I enjoy going to libraries and going on walks to the farmers' market or even a little outing, such as a picnic. I have experience with dogs and cats as well. Growing up, we always had a family pet. I currently have 3 cats, and two of them are 1 yr and one is a senior cat. I have experience with smaller to medium-sized dogs.
Hey there! I’m Zoey, your soon-to-be favorite babysitter (or so I hope!). I’ve got 6 years of experience keeping little ones safe, entertained, and occasionally convincing them to eat their veggies. I’m all about fun, creativity, and making sure your kids have a blast while you get some well-deserved peace of mind. From storytelling to silly dance parties, I’m ready to bring lots of smiles and maybe even some goofy faces. Can’t wait to meet your awesome family and become part of the team!

Hi, my name is Zoey, and I’m 17 years old, currently a senior in high school. As the oldest of 2 siblings, I’ve gained plenty of experience caring for kids, and I genuinely love it. Taking care of children has always been something close to my heart because it brings me so much joy. I’m passionate about keeping kids active and engaged, and I always come prepared with fun and creative activities to make sure they’re entertained and happy. Beyond just supervising, I make it a priority to ensure their needs are met and that they feel safe and cared for at all times. I’m also an animal love I have two dogs and a snake, and I’ve been caring for pets ever since I was little. I enjoy making sure animals are happy and well taken care of, and I’m comfortable with a variety of pets. Overall, I’m responsible, nurturing, and enthusiastic about providing a positive and fun environment for both kids and animals.

I have had multiple experiences with working with children. This includes volunteering to help low income children pick out clothes for their upcoming school year and having one on one mentorships with children entering their first year of a new school. I’m currently a sophomore in college. I was CPR certified twice (need to renew over the summer but didn’t have time due to college). First during June of 2023 at California Northstate University during my program at UC Berkeley for Medicine and the second time at a career technical center where I got CPR, first aid, and choking certified for adults, children, and babies. I am also knowledgeable and trained in First Aid.
