I have a strong background in working with children and caring for animals. During high school, I completed two years in an Early Childhood Education program, where I gained hands-on experience working with children and completed four placements in elementary school classrooms. These experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable working with children of different ages and personalities. I also have experience caring for children outside of school. I have two nieces and two nephews who I spend time with, as well as experience babysitting a one-year-old. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for children and making sure they feel cared for and supported. I also have several years of experience caring for animals. I have three dogs of my own and have previously dog-sat for a family. I am comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for both children and pets, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.

Hello! My name is Riley and my experience with children comes from my family! I have 6 siblings total, 2 of which have children whom I’ve babysat for. Their ages are from 1, 7, and 11, and I have cared for them through multiple stages in their life. I am still learning and growing and I hope that you trust in my ability to grow!
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.
Hi!! My name is Lilly. I am a student at Michigan State University studying education! I've nannied off and on for about 3 years for families with children 0-10 years old in my hometown and it is my favorite job I have ever had. I love building relationships with kids and families. I am an extremely organized and punctual individual who would not waste your time. I can help with after school homework help, transportation to activities, or even feeding for little one. I can't wait to get to know you and your family!
