Hello!
My name is Vanessa , and I’m an 18-year-old Bay Area native.
I have two years of experience assisting an elderly couple with house cleaning, meal prep, yard work, and companionship. I also have several years of experience babysitting child family members and friends of family. I am comfortable with personal care tasks and handling messes or accidents, and I approach all care with respect, patience, and attentiveness.i also have 5+ experience pet sitting! I started pet-sitting when I was 13-years-old, taking care of neighborhood pets. This has given me the chance to care for birds, cats, dogs, and hamsters. I also have a 7-year-old dog of my own who I’ve had and loved since he was a pup. As a person with an active lifestyle, I love taking pets out for walks (a great way to get my steps, Vit. D, and some dopamine from seeing pets have fun outdoors). I am also not the kind of person to shy away from cleaning up a litter box, accidents, or any messes that is commonly a given with pets
I currently work weekends at Bumblebee Playspace in Newark Marketplace, helping hosts manage children’s birthday parties, maintain safety, and create a fun experience for families. This role has strengthened my attention to detail, problem-solving, and ability to engage with people of all ages.
I also recently just started work as a server at a sushi restaurant which is strengthening my skills in multitasking, quick decision making, and flexibility.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, board games, and walking. I am passionate about nutrition and often research science-backed articles in my free time. Friends and coworkers describe me as outgoing and friendly.
I would love to help bring care to those in need!
