I am a college student majoring in Psychology and currently pursuing certifications as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have recently completed a CPR/AED certification course and have more than three years of experience providing childcare. My experience includes babysitting, pet care, cooking, and performing basic household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry. I also have professional experience as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Behavior Technician, where I worked with individuals on the autism spectrum, including individuals who were nonverbal. This experience strengthened my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and individualized care. I enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and responsible environment. I understand the importance of maintaining awareness of children’s whereabouts and well-being at all times while ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and respected.

With over 15 years of experience in pet care, I bring reliability, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities - offering everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight sitting and special care for senior pets. My background includes working with busy professionals and families who trust me to keep their pets happy, healthy, and safe while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or maintaining routines, I treat every pet like my own - ensuring peace of mind and wagging tails every time.
Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am a Child Development student at California State University Long Beach, with a passion for special education and supporting neurodivergent children in their development. I previous worked as a part-time nanny for a two child household, with a 10m infant and a 3 year old child. I worked with them until the oldest was 5 years old, and I handled bedtime routines, bath time, meal preparation and feedings, bottle sterilization, diaper changes, and play-based learning to support developmental goals. I also work as a behavioral technician, where I work with neurodivergent children ranging for 3 years old to 16 years old. I use hands-off behavioral intervention techniques to build emotional regulation skills and work to replace adverse behaviors (hitting, spitting, self-injury, tantrums) with healthy coping strategies. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities, with a focus on supporting developmental goals through play-based learning. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the Red Cross, so you can be assured that your child will be safe with me.
