Hi everyone! I'm Tessa and I'm a recent grad from UC Santa Barbara who is originally from the Bay Area. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I get along great with kids and have been babysitting/nannying since I was in high school. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids, but am open to all ages! I have helped with school pick-up/drop-off, tutored, improvised fun games, and facilitated many a crafts! I grew up with three dogs, a cat, hamsters, and chickens, so I feel quite comfortable around most pets. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Please let me know if you have any questions for me!
Hey! My name is Sana! I have a few years of experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with two cats for most of my life and also lived with the most lovable golden doodle, Nala! Over the past three years, Iāve also helped pet sit for friendsā cats and dogs, and Iāve cared for my roommateās dog, Nala, for multiple days at a time. I currently work in a hybrid position, so Iām in the office three days a week. On those days, I usually leave around 8 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. Iām very flexible with my schedule and can adjust my in-office days or visit times to fit your petās needs. I love meeting new furry friends and will always be patient and attentive to your petās needs. Please donāt hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :)
