I am a registered nurse and am on here to help my community how I can in my downtime. I’m experienced in pet sitting, childcare, senior care and house sitting.

I started out as a nanny when I was 19 and worked with all ages for many years. I loved being a nanny! Those are some of my favorite years! I have also worked with a school district in Southern California for many years (off and on) with special needs students, specializing in autism. I have done office work also, but most of my career has been with children. I also have two boys of my own, who are now 32 and 28. I also have seven young grandchildren, who are all in Southern California. I just relocated to Springfield to start a new chapter in my life and am looking for part time work. I would love to get to know you and work with your family.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
