Hi! I’m a compassionate, patient, and energetic caregiver with extensive experience supporting children from newborns all the way through their teenage years. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of settings—including private homes, daycare centers, and larger group environments—which has helped me develop strong skills in multitasking, communication, and creating a safe, nurturing atmosphere for every child in my care.

I have hands-on experience with multiples, including twins and siblings close in age, and I’m comfortable balancing routines, personalities, and developmental needs simultaneously. I’ve also had the privilege of working with children on the autism spectrum and take a thoughtful, individualized approach to supporting their unique strengths and needs.

Whether I’m soothing a newborn, helping a toddler explore their world, or guiding older kids through homework and daily life skills, I always aim to provide a warm, structured, and positive environment. My goal is to help children feel understood, supported, and excited to learn—and to give parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring, capable hands.

My skills and interests:

  • Music
  • Singing
  • Dance
  • Comedy
  • Reading / storytelling
  • Drawing / painting
  • Arts / crafts

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.
