Me ! ♫⋆。♪ ₊˚♬ ゚.

Hello! I am Cece and im 15! :)

I may not have proper education, but between me, 5 siblings, and 12 pets, I think ive got pretty good knowledge. I love babies and kids, ive had multiple friends and family members call me a baby magnet. (lol)

Im pretty good with pets also. Im very detail oriented and pay very close attention.

I work hard to make sure everything is how its supposed to be, I follow my gut and almost always I know if something is wrong.

On the other hand, im very good with communication and de-escilating situations. I love arts and crafts, telling stories, book reading, etc. I know how to cook and can clean up my messes. With a neurodivergent baby brother Im pretty good with special needs and learned a lot of coping mechanisms and ways to help a child calm down.

(i think thats it)

(P.s., I have a more alternative look, a septum nose ring and a couple ear piercings. Its totally okay to request me to wear retainers so they dont show :) dont be afraid to ask!)

Arielle Jackson

Activity summary

Member since: Feb 2026

Welcome message:

Hi! My name is Arielle, and I’m a responsible 16-year-old high school student who genuinely enjoys working with kids. I have experience caring for younger children in my family, including my niece, nephews, and younger cousins.

I’m patient, attentive, and good at keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, homework help, and fun activities while still making sure rules are followed. Safety is always my top priority, and I want children to feel comfortable and cared for while their parents are away.

I’m currently in driver’s education, which has helped me build even more responsibility and time-management skills. I’m available after school and on weekends and am happy to help with light chores, simple meals, and bedtime routines.

I’m also willing to take a CPR and First Aid course to provide extra peace of mind for families.

I look forward to meeting your family!

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.
