Hi! My name is Sam, I’ve been in numerous healthcare and childcare roles over the past 3-4 years. I’ve worked as a nanny or babysitter for families of different orientations, sizes, beliefs and backgrounds. I have a 2 year old myself. I’ve worked as a PCA and have had the certification since September of 2020. I’ve been a licensed CNA for 1 year and I’ve worked as a ParaPro in Special Needs. I’m always willing to try new things and be flexible to help fit the needs of your family!

Hi! my name is Tre’sha and i’m 18 looking for a side job to make a little extra money:) I have years of experience watching my cousins and nephews, worked at a daycare, and a nursing home. I'm very patient, good at multitasking, problem-solving, and event planning. i’m charismatic and fun so i feel like your kids will love me!

I have been working with children since I was 9 but officially started at 13, and I fell in love with it! I primarily watched and cared for my 6 younger siblings, along with many of my family and friends children. I've worked with kids of all ages and I am also experienced with working with children who have autism. I have 3 younger brothers who all have autism. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games or making fun craft projects! And on special occasions baking treats :). I love kids and I take pride in the patience and discipline I’ve learned from it. I always strive to do the best and to have a strong hardworking mindset. And I always take working with children to the heart.

Pets: I've fostered hundreds of pets over the years & recently focused on crisis fostering & providing accessible pet care. I often pet sit in my home (which I share with Paisley Bark, a goofy bloodhound) so I usually have 2-5 dogs around. That said, I am able to provide separate space for pets who struggle with reactivity or who simply prefer a calmer environment. Social pets w/permission are welcome to interact with select others under close supervision in accordance w/their preferred personality/play style. For dogs w/separation anxiety (or owner convenience) I provide pick-up & drop-off services. I also offer services in client homes (check-ins, meals, let outs, walks, house sitting) based on the needs of your pet. As pet sitter w/experience caring for a range of medical needs including illness & injury, I am comfortable & adept administering most types of medication (oral, topical, & subcutaneous). I've worked with most breeds/sizes & a vast range of personalities/behavioral needs. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement strategies & I prefer to stick to any routines & schedules a pet is used to so I ask clients to share as much info as they can regarding rules, training, treats etc. so I can provide as consistent an experience as possible. Pet owners are the experts in the care of their pets & I aim to accommodate any requests/preferences. Though I have a lot of experience, owner input is essential to create an environment where both your pet & I are set up for success. Childcare: My mother ran a daycare out of our home & I started helping with the care of other children while I still was one & served as a live-in nanny for my nephew in his first years. Because I often pet sit in my home (to guarantee safety for all involved) I prefer to kid sit elsewhere. My background is Customer Success & Ops so in most of my adult life I've watched kids for friends only periodically but recently started caring for a few kids in my neighborhood. I myself am AuDHD (Autistic w/ADHD) & while we are all different, my experience has motivated me to be as accepting, safe, patient, & compassionate an adult for neurodiverse kids as I was lucky enough to have growing up. My caregiving relies heavily on parental guidance, the more I know the more successful I can be. I only sit for a few kids & while I'm open to more, I hope for open and direct communication with regards to expectations & boundaries to ensure I'm able to meet your definition of great care.
