I work in education and grew up with dogs in my family. Since high school and college, I have been dog/pet sitting for different families. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs all the way from a yorkie to a mastiff. I am adaptable to meet the needs of the pet and care for the pet like they are my own. I am comfortable staying with the pet or doing drop ins. My schedule fluctuates but can be adaptable.

So appreciate Lucas for his attentiveness while my pup was under the weather and flexibility as my travel plans got derailed!

My name is Jessica, and I’m 28 years old. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and over six years of experience caring for children of all ages which gave me valuable hands-on experience with child development and daily family routines. I consider myself an active, patient, organized, honest, kind, creative, and loving person. I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and connecting with nature. As a nanny and babysitter, I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as arts and crafts, dancing, painting, board games, nature walks, and more. I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth through playful and engaging experiences. I’m also a native Spanish speaker, and if you’re interested, I’d be happy to introduce your children to the Spanish language through songs, stories, games, and everyday conversation. Currently, I work with a wonderful family with three kids during the week and have been with them for the past two years. They would be happy to provide references. I’m now looking for occasional babysitting opportunities in the evenings and on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy and comfortable for families. Thank you for visiting my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon!

Jessica was amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our son in her care. She was prompt and very caring with our one year old who bonded with her immediately!

$19 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, dependable, and energetic single mom and grandmother with a lifelong passion for helping others. I raised three children—now adults—and I’m a proud grandmother to an almost‑three‑year‑old grandson who keeps me laughing and on my toes every other weekend. Now that my own children are grown, I find myself missing the chaos that comes with caring for little ones and would love to support families who could use an extra, trusted set of hands. I have extensive hands‑on experience which includes my own children with food allergies and ADHD. Safety, structure, and compassion are always my top priorities. I’m a “hands‑on” caregiver who truly enjoys getting down on the floor to play, read, laugh, and keep kids engaged. Having raised children involved in multiple sports and activities, I understand busy schedules, routines, and the importance of consistency in daily life. In addition to child care, I have a deep respect and sensitivity for senior care. I have helped care for my father in his later years and continue to assist my mother, giving me valuable experience with companionship, errands, shopping, and attentiveness to daily needs. I believe meaningful conversation, patience, and dignity make all the difference. I’m also an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have my own dog, Black Lab Mix named Luna and grew up surrounded by cats, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and general pet care. Previously, I was a Girl Scout Leader for an 8th–12th grade troop, which strengthened my leadership, organizational, and mentoring skills. Professionally, I work full‑time at a local company where I’ve been happily employed for over 30 years. I love my job and am seeking opportunities to help families, seniors, and pet owners on evenings or weekends while earning a little extra income—without ever compromising my current job. If you’re looking for someone nurturing, experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the well‑being of your loved ones, I would be honored to help.
