CPR/First Aid Certified Babysitter & Pet Sitter | Psychology Background | Trusted, Caring, and Reliable

Hi there! I’m Taylor — a compassionate and energetic sitter with a deep love for kids and animals. I recently graduated from Drew University with a degree in Media and Communications and a minor in Psychology, and I’m certified in Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED by the American Red Cross. I’ve always had a natural connection with children and pets, and I bring a calm, positive presence into every home I work with.

When I’m not babysitting or pet sitting, you can find me spending time with my sweet chocolate lab Otis, coaching tennis, or getting active outdoors. I believe in creating a safe, playful, and supportive environment where kids can thrive — and pets feel just as loved as they do with their owners. I'm here to help your family with genuine care and peace of mind!

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter with a strong background in both childcare and pet care. I recently graduated from Drew University with a degree in Media and Communications and a minor in Psychology. I was also a proud member of the women’s tennis team, where I developed strong leadership, time management, and teamwork skills.

My psychology background helps me connect with children of all ages in a patient, thoughtful, and engaging way. I love creating fun, safe environments where kids can thrive. I'm certified by the American Red Cross in Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED, so you can feel confident that your child’s safety is always my top priority.

I’m also a huge animal lover! I have a chocolate lab named Otis who’s full of personality, and I understand the attention and compassion pets need when their families are away. Whether I’m babysitting, helping with homework, playing games, or caring for pets, I bring warmth, creativity, and reliability to every family I work with.

I’m excited to connect with local families and provide care you can trust!

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.
