Here for all you sitting and nanny needs

There's something truly special about the laughter of children and the sparkle in their eyes. I adore babies and kids for their endless energy and pure curiosity. Each giggle and coo reminds me to appreciate the simple joys in life.

Engaging with them is an absolute delight. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or exploring together, every moment is a chance to create lasting memories. I love seeing their faces light up when they learn something new.

Teaching them is a true privilege. I cherish nurturing their curiosity and imagination. Watching them grow and discover the world is amazing. From their first words to their endless questions, every step is filled with potential.

In these moments, I see a bright future ahead. My love for babies and kids inspires me to be a better person, to show them the joy of learning, and to it motivates and inspires me to be a better person.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
