Jennifer $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of two daughters, ages 22, and 13, and my years of parenting have helped me develop excellent communication, problem-solving, organizational, and time-management skills. I am responsible, trustworthy, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. Whether caring for children, pets, or assisting families, I am committed to providing reliable support with patience, kindness, and compassion. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have volunteered and worked at an animal shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their unique needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with both people and animals, creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I take pride in my strong sense of responsibility and dedication to providing attentive, high-quality care. My goal is always to give families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones and pets are receiving the highest level of care, attention, and respect.

Booked by 1 family in Granada Hills, CA

Dixie, my first pet, joined our family when I was just a year old, teaching me lessons of love, loyalty, patience, and protection. My deep affection for animals translates into special connections, and I care for them as if they were my own. I've mastered the art of training animals tricks. Recently I have trained my sister's new puppy to take treats gently, sit, and spin on command. Additionally, my cats now respond to the command to stand up. Animals have significantly contributed to my mental well-being, and I value the opportunity Rover provides to get out of the house to go on walks with new animal companions. Looking forward for the chance to meeting your furry friend soon❤️

Booked by 1 family in Granada Hills, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I am currently pursuing a doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy at USC. OT is a healthcare profession that focuses on "occupations" needed for daily activities and routines. Occupations can include self-care activities like bathing, dressing, or hobbies that are important and meaningful to the individual I have experience working with kids through two different tutoring jobs I had in the past. I also interned at a memory care facility for older adults with dementia. Aside from that, I have gained multiple experiences and knowledge about working with people who have physical and cognitive disabilities through school. I am also available to run errands if needed. As a grad student, I am looking for part-time opportunities to support my studies! Looking forward to meeting you all.

“Nicole has been wonderful with my son! She is reliable, caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. She handles school pickups and takes great care of him while I’m at work, which gives me great peace of mind. My son is comfortable with her, and I really appreciate her patience, dependability, and positive attitude. She has been a great help to our family, and I would highly recommend Nicole to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny or babysitter. We’ve had a great experience with her!”
