Hi parents, My name is Roma and I love babysitting/dog sitting. I believe it’s important to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I have a big family and they’ve instilled important values and professional work ethics on me. I work in the medical field as a pharmacy technician. It’s a rewarding experience as I keep in touch with my patients occasionally , as you build long-lasting relationships throughout the months and sometimes years! I volunteer, as well through CERT. It’s an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. We prepare/train fellow community members in what to do incase there is an emergency life-threatening situation. As you can see..I like to stay busy and keep my mind sharp. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon and hopefully building fun memories :]

Hi, I’m Oceania! I’m a mom of one and have been caring for kids most of my life. I started out helping with my nieces, spent a year interning at a daycare when I was 16, and I also help care for my stepdaughter. Between my own child and the kids I’ve cared for, I’ve learned how important it is to have patience, structure, and a loving environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Families describe me as dependable, calm, and nurturing. Whether it’s keeping kids busy with fun activities, sticking to routines, or just being a safe and caring presence, I’m here to make things easier for both you and your child.

Hello. I have many years of experience as I have been a sitter on and off since I was in middle school. I have twin nieces who are 5 who I have been sitting since they were preemies, along with my nephew who is 2. I have two children, ages 18 and 11, which has also given me invaluable experience. I absolutely adore babies! I also love supporting young minds to learn and grow through play and constructive activities. I am kind, patient, and make any child who I spend time around feel heard, loved, and supported. I currently work a full-time government job. However, I would like to get back to what I love, which is being outside of an office and supporting/building community. Spending my days with a little one would not feel like work at all, and I greatly look forward to the opportunity! Thank you for your time.
