Babysitter, Housesitter, Petsitter And if needed Live in Nanny/Houskeeper

Hi! I'm Naomi — 19 years old, part-time adventurer, and full-time big sister. I live in a lively household with my amazing single mum, three energetic younger siblings, and our little zoo: three cats and one very opinionated dog.

When I’m not playing games, you'll probably find me outside, chasing sunlight and fresh air. I’ve always believed that kids should get dirty, climb trees, and let their imaginations run wild. That’s how I grew up — often disappearing into the backyard forest, convinced I was a wild child raised by birds and breeze. Exploring nature and keeping the mind active isn’t just fun — I think it's essential.

Caring and reliable set of hands for any of your needs

Hi! I’m Abigail, a 23-year-old mum to a fun, energetic 4-year-old girl—which means I’ve got real-life experience in everything from potty training diplomacy to convincing tiny humans that eating vegetables is in fact good for them.

I’m a master of fort building, expert in bedtime storytelling, and have advanced negotiation skills when it comes to extra cookies or yummy deserts (I almost always side with the parents... almost ?). I know how to keep kids entertained without screens—or glitter. I draw the line at glitter!

I’m responsible, reliable, and CPR/First Aid trained. I always leave your house looking like it did when you left (or cleaner, depending on how much fun activities we encounter). Your kids will be safe, happy, and asking when I’m coming back.

Basically, I treat every child I babysit like I’d want someone to treat mine—with love, patience, and just the right amount of silliness.

I am currently employed as a cleaner so my days can vary but send me a message and we can work something out for sure!

Let’s chat!

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.
