Experienced Sitter :)

Hi! Welcome to my profile.

I'm an ENFP who loves making connections and bringing joy to both kids and pets! As an experienced babysitter and petsitter, I bring a warm, personable, and responsible approach to everything I do. Whether it’s caring for children or furry friends, I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and loving environment.

A little about me: I’m patient, empathetic, and adaptable, which helps me connect with kids and pets of all ages and needs. I’ve cared for children from toddlers to teenagers, and I’m comfortable with a variety of situations—whether it’s helping with homework, managing special needs, or engaging in imaginative play. I believe every child has unique interests, and I love finding ways to nurture their creativity and curiosity! In addition to my babysitting experience, I have a love for food and can help prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks, so you can rest assured your little ones are eating well when you're not around.

When it comes to pets, I’m a true animal lover and have experience with dogs, cats, and other furry friends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention to your pets as I would my own.

What I bring to the table: A versatile background with a cultural awareness that helps me relate to people and even furry friends from all walks of life. A responsible and trustworthy attitude—you can count on me to show up on time and keep things running smoothly. My educational and work backgrounds have helped me build my problem-solving skills and creativity and made me adaptable to a variety of situations and routines. I’m here to offer peace of mind, knowing your children and pets are in good hands with someone who truly cares. Let’s connect and see how I can help make your life easier!
