Welcome message:

Hello, My name is Calise I am 14 years old and I am interested in babysitting and nannying! I have have experience with sitting for kids or entertaining and supervising for many years.I have a younger brother who is special needs and has autism and has taken care of him for many years and I learned how to use positive reinforcement and compromises and how to deal with different needs over the years. I am a social person and love doing interactive play or learning I like to plan activities for kids instead of just screen time I respect parents rules and wants . I am in school still at a charter school that focusing on GATE thinking for gifted and talented.I have done girl scouts and am a Cadette who has received silver awarded. And have taught knife safety classes and skills. Hosted events for younger girl scouts and outdoor safety and crafts. And many more learning inspired classes and events for younger and older girl scouts. Girl scouts let me do fun things like going to Hawaii and Zion and etc While making new friends and bonds, while were learning about STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and important life skills, and help get the community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone. I am on a volleyball team at SoCal Girls Volleyball Club.I have a genetic bleeding disorder called Von Willebrand's disease which is a part of a simpler one called Hemophilia but a less severe and go to local events for the hemophilia organization which teaches me first aid safety and has local events to volunteer at. At my old school I did a special pe class which I got to help with the special needs kids during p.e to help them have fun too and include them and learn things from them.I have a huge extended family and have sitted and cared for many of my cousins from ages 9 month with supervision to 12 years old without supervision.I love to help out in lots of ways and do chores and am comfortable with small and big dogs,I own a medium/big mutt and am comfortable dog walking as well.At my school I do ISE which allows me to leave early Mon-Wen at 12:45 to focus on extracurriculars and Thursday I do tutor time and am available for more hours on Fridays due to homeschooling on that day. I help out at my school in the office so I can help the staff and cheer up the kids in the office while helping out with simple first aid and helping parents and little kids during pick up because our school is tk-8th and offers TA which helps the younger teachers with kids who need more assistance than others.I believe in finding many skills.I did violin from age 6-11 and clarinet and trombone.I have played tennis,gymnastics,swim, and now volleyball. And I love arts and crafts and can bake and cook and be very creative making stories! I hope I can be a good asset to 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.
