$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, when my first child was born, I was nervous about sending her to a daycare. So I became certified and started my own home daycare. I also, completed early childhood courses in college. I have certifications in CPR, AED and First Aid. Sometimes at church I care for the 1 yr and 2 yr olds. Being in the presence and caring for children gives me so much happiness! I’m a mom and grandmother that loves children. My grandchildren live in a different state, so I don’t get to live on them as much as I would like. **I also love pets, I became a breeder 11 years ago. First I bred dwarf rabbits. Now I breed Bengal kittens and Yorkie puppies. **I enjoy caring for seniors, listening to stories of when they were young and appreciating their wisdom. It’s also a way for me to give back, for all the nurture and love that my grandparents to me. Thanks for your consideration!

Hello, my name is Bri and I’m excited to offer comprehensive pet sitting, babysitting, and house care services to your family. With a diverse background in both childcare and animal care, I bring a warm, professional approach to every task. I hold a substitute certification and have hands-on experience in daycare and substitute roles, where I not only ensured the safety and well-being of children but also engaged them in fun, educational activities—ranging from creative arts and crafts to outdoor play. I truly enjoy making learning and playtime a memorable experience. My passion for caring extends to animals as well. Over the years, I have cared for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and bunnies, both as a pet owner and through my work at a vet clinic and a boarding facility. This experience has given me a solid understanding of different breeds and their needs, and I am comfortable with caring for any animal. In addition, while I may not have traditional job experience in household services, I have been trusted with maintaining families’ homes during their absence. My background includes working as a janitor at the job I managed, ensuring high standards and excellent cleanliness scores. I also offer services such as running errands, laundry, and organizing. I am happy to work with you on what supplies I can or cannot bring to best suit your home. I look forward to providing personalized, reliable care that ensures your children, pets, or home receive the attention they deserve. Thank you for considering me as your trusted caregiver.
