Booked by 1 family in East Haven, CT

I have experience caring for school-age children, about 4 years old and up, and I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. With kids, I’m happy to help with playtime, crafts, outdoor activities, homework, meals, and keeping their normal routine going. I try to be patient, calm, and easygoing while still making sure everyone is safe and cared for. I also love dogs and have experience with walking, feeding, playing, and giving them attention based on their personality and needs. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and know how important it is to follow each family’s routine. Families can expect me to be dependable, respectful of their home, and attentive to both children and pets.

Caitlin is extremely reliable, has a lot of experience with kids and pets, has a fantastic handle on any emergency situation that may arise, would highly recommend her for any sitting. She has a love for both kids and pets

Hi! My name is Tori Lawson, I am 20 years old and I am going into my senior year at the University of Alabama. I am going back to school on August 14th so I am completely available until then. I have experience babysitting my younger cousins, I have been babysitting them since I was 13 years old. I also worked as a counselor for a summer camp. There, I was taking care of children ages 3-14, while mainly focusing on children ages 6-10. I am absolutely a dog lover!! I have a small shish tzu at home, but am very comfortable with dogs of any size and age! I also take care of my sister’s cats when she is away from home so I would be comfortable helping out with cats as well. I do not have any experience in senior caretaking, however I would love to help out with driving to appointments, cooking dinner, or other tasks the job may require. I am also happy to work as a household assistant with cooking, cleaning, or whatever you might need!! One thing to know about me is that I am currently majoring in psychology, as well as minoring in sociology and neuroscience. I plan to continue my education and pursue a career in child psychology, where I will be able to help children work through problems and guide them to a better future for themselves.
