Activity summary
Reliable babysitter & Pet Sitter
Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy babysitter and pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after children of all ages and a wide variety of animals. I have always loved working with both kids and pets, and I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment where they feel comfortable. I have experience babysitting newborns through to 13-year-olds, helping with activities, games, cooking, and daily routines. I also have experience supporting a family member with severe autism and additional special needs, which has strengthened my patience and understanding. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I currently care for 2 cats and a snake, and in the past I have looked after rabbits, hamsters, fish, a dog, and more. I’m confident caring for different types of pets.

I am a reliable and experienced babysitter and pet sitter with experience looking after both children and a wide range of animals. In the past, I have owned and cared for rabbits, hamsters, fish, a cat, and a senior dog, and I currently own 2 cats and a snake. This has given me strong experience with feeding routines, cleaning, handling and understanding different pet needs and behaviours. Alongside pet care, I have babysat for family friends and people in my local area, caring for children from newborns up to 13 years old. I enjoy keeping children entertained through games and creative play, while also helping with cooking and preparing meals when needed. I am patient, responsible, and able to adapt to different ages and personalities. I also have experience helping care for a family member with severe autism and additional special needs, which has helped me develop patience, communication skills, and the ability to remain calm and supportive in different situations. I am trustworthy, attentive, and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for both children and pets.
