Welcome message:

Hi! My name is Kaili, and I’m an 18-year-old recent high school graduate with plenty of hands-on experience caring for young children. As a middle child in a big family of seven siblings, I’ve spent years helping look after my little brother and sister—now ages 8 and 14—since they were very young. Growing up in a large family has given me a unique understanding of what it means to work together, be adaptable, and support those around me.

I’m passionate about helping families and truly enjoy making a positive difference in children’s lives. Whether you need help with after-school care, evenings, or weekends, I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring babysitting. Let’s connect!

I am a recent high school graduate, having completed my studies in May 2025 with 25 credits. As the oldest of seven siblings, I have developed strong leadership and caregiving skills. Throughout my teen years, I have been deeply involved in caring for my younger brother and sister, who are now 8 and 14 years old. Watching them grow and supporting their development since they were very young has been a rewarding and formative part of my life. Growing up in a large family has taught me responsibility, patience, and the value of teamwork. Balancing academic achievements with family duties has shaped me into a determined and adaptable individual, ready to take on new challenges and continue learning beyond high school.

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.
