CPR/First Aid Certified Babysitter & Pet Sitter | Psychology Background | Trusted, Caring, and Reliable

Hi there! I’m Taylor — a compassionate and energetic sitter with a deep love for kids and animals. I recently graduated from Drew University with a degree in Media and Communications and a minor in Psychology, and I’m certified in Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED by the American Red Cross. I’ve always had a natural connection with children and pets, and I bring a calm, positive presence into every home I work with.

When I’m not babysitting or pet sitting, you can find me spending time with my sweet chocolate lab Otis, coaching tennis, or getting active outdoors. I believe in creating a safe, playful, and supportive environment where kids can thrive — and pets feel just as loved as they do with their owners. I'm here to help your family with genuine care and peace of mind!

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter with a strong background in both childcare and pet care. I recently graduated from Drew University with a degree in Media and Communications and a minor in Psychology. I was also a proud member of the women’s tennis team, where I developed strong leadership, time management, and teamwork skills.

My psychology background helps me connect with children of all ages in a patient, thoughtful, and engaging way. I love creating fun, safe environments where kids can thrive. I'm certified by the American Red Cross in Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED, so you can feel confident that your child’s safety is always my top priority.

I’m also a huge animal lover! I have a chocolate lab named Otis who’s full of personality, and I understand the attention and compassion pets need when their families are away. Whether I’m babysitting, helping with homework, playing games, or caring for pets, I bring warmth, creativity, and reliability to every family I work with.

I’m excited to connect with local families and provide care you can trust!

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.
