Activity summary
Dependable Caregiver for Kids & Pets — Certified, Experienced, and Flexible
I am a motivated and responsible 16-year-old student currently enrolled in online high school, where I maintain a 3.6 GPA and have experience tutoring other high school students. Tutoring has strengthened my patience, communication, and problem-solving skills. I am currently working toward earning my driver’s license and am CPR, AED, defibrillator, and Heimlich certified for children through the American Red Cross.
I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience from helping raise and babysit my younger siblings since they were newborns, including twins and a child with autism who has anger challenges and difficulty communicating. From this, I’ve developed strong patience, de-escalation skills, and calm, clear communication. Having four younger siblings has also taught me how to safely manage and supervise multiple children at once. I cook for my family twice a week, so I’m comfortable preparing meals and following kitchen safety practices.
I also provide daily care for multiple large-breed dogs, including American Bullies, German Shepherds, and Labs, and am comfortable with feeding, exercise, supervision, and cleanup. I completed training through the Sacramento Firefighter Youth Academy, which strengthened my discipline and safety awareness. I enjoy crafts and outdoor activities and like keeping kids engaged, active, and supported. I bring a dependable work ethic, strong safety awareness, and a caring, attentive approach to both babysitting and pet sitting.
