Hi there! I’m Cameron: a native Angeleno, University of New Orleans graduate, part-time screenwriter, and personal assistant/caregiver who truly loves helping folks (and their furry friends) feel seen and supported. I have years of experience dog-sitting pups of all temperaments, energy levels, and special medical/behavioral needs. No two doggos are the same and I take pride in adapting to each one’s unique routine. I also absolutely love animals so taking care of them is a win-win on all fronts. While I used to sit my little cousins, I recently became a godfather and now have experience babysitting the littlest of babies, too, meaning I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages with patience, structure, and a sense of fun. I do weekly in-home care for individuals with disabilities, which has taught me the importance of empathy, patience, and clear communication. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm also a trained personal assistant backed by years working in a high-intensity, high-demand TV show writers' room. In addition to the usual household assistant duties, I excel at managing schedules, arranging travel, running errands, and keeping spaces tidy and organized (thank you, diagnosed OCD). I can cook (quite well), clean, problem-solve with the best of them, and am lucky to have built up a long list of happy clients who would be even happier to vouch for me! Have any questions or need a bit more info? Don’t hesitate to reach out!
“Simply put, you will never find a more responsible human than Cameron. I've worked with him multiple times, and he has never failed to meet my exacting standards. He's reliable, professional, and also a truly kind human being. He's taken amazing care of our two dogs and our house on multiple occasions and always leave your abode spotless. Truly, you'll be lucky to get to work with him.”
Hi! My name is Raquel, and I’m a loving mom offering babysitting in a safe, nurturing home environment.

I enjoy age-appropriate play, reading, tummy time, and helping little ones stay on their routines. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
