Hi my name is Gabriella - Brie for short. I am a Junior at Michigan State University double majoring in International Relations and Supply Chain Management. I am from the Washington DC suburbs and am here for school. I offer childcare, pet services, and household services. At age 12 I began mother's helping in my neighborhood, advancing to babysitting and petsitting at 14, by 16 I added housesitting, driving children to and from school and activities, and tutoring to my services. I have both house sit and pet sit overnight, I always encourage families to hire a live-in pet sitter while gone rather than a day walker or boarding so your pet is used to them and has a routine in a safe and familiar place. I love sports, reading, walking when the weather is nice, games and cards, and am generally a chatty person. I have been described as warm and bubbly, while also being able to adapt to a child's temperament and mood needs. I do ask a lot of clarifying questions because I never want to overstep your role as a parent or pet parent, so open and clear communication is a must for me.
