With over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages and backgrounds, I am a reliable, responsible, and friendly babysitter who genuinely enjoys caring for kids. I have worked in a variety of roles, including babysitting, summer camp counselor, and house-sitting/cleaning jobs, which has helped me develop strong organizational and multitasking skills. My approach is always to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable and supported. I take pride in being dependable, attentive to each child’s unique needs, and ensuring their well-being at all times. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing games, or light housekeeping, I am dedicated to providing excellent care and making sure both parents and children feel happy and confident in my care. I look forward to meeting your family and providing exceptional babysitting services. I am also CPR certified.

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.
