Hi, My name is Harper. I’m a 24 year old transgender woman saving to go back to school for nursing. I like to draw, paint, play tennis and video games for fun. I have worked in variations of clinical support and caregiving for the past 8 years. Some settings I have worked in have been… -ILC as a para educator for middle & high schoolers with cognitive and intellectual disabilities. -Respite care, taking care of primarily kiddo’s and some adults with conditions like down syndrome, autism, and more in the comforts of their own home. -LTAC as a CNA working with older populations often in their twilight hours -Memory Care, working primarily with Alzheimer’s, parkinson’s, and stroke patients. -Covid ICU as a CNA to help my community through 2020& 2021 including the first ever covid related lung transplant. -Multidisciplinary surgical post op as a Lead CNA -And Burn ICU as a Burn Technician providing wound care and assisting with debridement and other procedures. I am Vaccinated for everything under the sun, I am CNA, AHA BLS, and Surgical Technician certified. I have hefty experience with clinical skills such as CPR, Urinary Catheterization, Heimlich Maneuver, G Tube Feeds, Ostomy and stoma care, Wound Care and more. Beyond my clinical expirience, I also have a passion for working with individuals with all kinds of needs. I’m happy to help with homework, arts and crafts, meal assistance and cooking, laundry and so much more. One exception is I drive an old pickup with two seats and no airbags so I can not drive anyone in my car but I can drive any vehicle provided for me.

Booked by 1 family in Arvada, CO

Hello! My name is Dartanion, but you can call me Doc. I’m 22 years old and offer professional child care, pet care, and house sitting services. I have 2–3 years of experience in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and come from a large family as the oldest of seven siblings — which has given me years of hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages and managing busy households. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and attentive to detail. Whether I’m engaging children in creative learning activities, ensuring pets are well cared for and comfortable, or keeping a home organized and secure, I approach every task with professionalism and care. Families can count on me to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment while maintaining clear communication and reliability. I truly enjoy helping families feel confident and at ease while they’re away

Mr. Doc is amazing with kids. Relatable, on-time, and took great care of my two toddlers. We can’t wait to have him back in the future!
