Nurturing Creativity and Kindness

I bring together the heart of a caregiver and the imagination of an artist. Babysitting isn’t just about keeping kids safe—it’s about nurturing their growth, creativity, and confidence. With me, children can explore art projects, storytelling, and playful learning, all while enjoying a calm, supportive environment. Parents can feel assured knowing their kids are in caring, creative hands.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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