I am an 18 year old soon-to-be high school graduate in June 2024. I have been a peer tutor for all four years of high school, and I am also a senior leader for my school's Air Force Junior ROTC. As part of this Senior Staff, I created engaging group and individual activities for cadets in the summer and throughout the school year. I was also a Python tutor in the summer of 2023, teaching elementary-age children about the coding language Python and giving instruction on small coding projects.

I am also a competitive gymnast for the Rancho Family YMCA. I have been doing gymnastics and staying active since I was three years old, and as a senior on the team, I help my younger teammates frequently, offering corrections and support every day at practice.

I do not have formal babysitting experience, however I have been an older sister for fourteen years, and I have experience taking care of my sister on days where my parents were busy or at work, and on family trips. As a leader figure in my school and on my gymnastics team, I have confidence in my abilities to create engaging activities for children, and I understand how to listen to what kids need and cater to them.

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.
