Hello, my name is René. I am recently retired and looking to support families and community members with child care, senior companionship, and general household help. I enjoy spending time with children and have experience caring for infants through school-aged kids. I’m happy to assist with playtime, reading, homework support, school pickups, and meal preparation. I also have experience supporting older adults. I can provide companionship, help with errands, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and transportation to appointments. I am patient, reliable, and truly enjoy being of service. In addition, I am available for general household assistance such as organizing, tidying, laundry, and errands to help keep daily routines running smoothly. I look forward to being a helpful and positive presence for you or your family.

Hi, my name is Amelia, I am 18 years old and just recently graduated high school and am planning to start college to be a Physical Therapist Assistant in the fall. I have been doing gymnastics for 15 years and have been coaching it for almost 4 years. I have coached from ages 1-15 and get along really well with children (especially those 3-8). I also have house/pet sat for my coach with her 3 dogs and 3 cats and am comfortable taking care of those. I have my license and I am able to drive, run errands, and help out in anyway possible. I can cook some meals and can make lunches and dinners if needed. While I don’t have much experience with babysitting other families, I have babysat my cousins, both of which have autism, and can be very patient to those who need it. I can help out with school/homework if needed, and can help around the house as well. And while i can be pretty busy during the week with school and work/practice I am very flexible and can work around some stuff, but my weekends are the most free.

Very communicative, early to arrive, and great with my daughter and nephew! Absolutely recommend.
