Not really a summary because i don’t vape, no i don’t own a car because legally im only 15, about to turn 16 in a couple of months so i can’t, im a highschool student and i have babysat for over 5 years, based on having siblings , i attend Paul Laurence Dunbar highschool in washington dc, i have a great gpa of 3.5, all grades and im very gentle with kids. As far as training im home trained based on having siblings and having to care for them as their 2nd mother and providing them with stuff as they grow, i’ve already had a experience with taking care of kids and it’s a piece of cake. I’m gentle and very understanding and calming. So i feel as though i can use this ability to contain a job of babysitting for money, because i put in good deeds and just like helping one another and kids.

Hi! My name is Emerald and I have a strong background in childcare with several years of experience working at multiple daycare centers. I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages from infants to school aged kids which has given me a well-rounded understanding of different developmental stages and needs.

I truly enjoy spending time with kids and love planning fun, engaging activities that help them learn and grow while having a great time. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, storytime, or educational games, I’m always ready to create a safe and enjoyable environment.

In addition to childcare, I also offer help with meal prep and snacks, making sure children are eating balanced, kid-friendly meals. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about what I do, and I look forward to helping your family however I can!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.


Dog Walker Interview Questions

Ask the following questions when interviewing dog walker candidates to narrow down your list.

Experience & Background

  • How long have you been walking dogs professionally?
  • Do you have experience with my dog’s breed, size, or temperament?
  • Are you trained in pet first aid and CPR?
  • Are you insured and bonded?

Services & Routines

  • Do you walk dogs individually or in groups?
  • How long are your standard walks?
  • Will you stick to my dog’s usual feeding, medication, or potty schedule?
  • Do you offer additional services (feeding, playtime, grooming visits)?

Safety & Emergencies

  • What would you do if my dog gets injured or sick during a walk?
  • How do you handle aggressive dogs or unexpected encounters?
  • Do you carry water, treats, or a first aid kit?
  • What’s your policy if bad weather occurs?

Reliability & Communication

  • What happens if you’re unavailable—do you have a backup plan?
  • How will you access my home securely?
  • Do you provide updates (texts, photos, walk reports)?
  • What’s your cancellation and refund policy?

Trial & Fit

  • Can we schedule a trial walk to see how my dog responds?
  • Are you comfortable with my dog’s specific quirks or needs?
  • Can I speak to a couple of your current or recent clients?
