Booked by 1 family in Ellendale, TN

Hi I’m Melody Jones and I am a 23 yr old bilingual (Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Counseling masters student at the University of Memphis. I offer various babysitting services, from set schedules to date nights and occasional help! I have over 8 years of child care experience from babysitting, nannying and other jobs. Over that time I have worked with children ranging ages 2 months- 13 years old. I enjoy working with a family that likes to get outside on a sunny Memphis day, as well as one that enjoys a good indoor craft and day well spent at home. I can assist all ages with homework as well as preparing meals, and driving them to their activities. I can also help parents with household tasks and errands to help lighten the load. I enjoy being able to assist in ways that allow you to focus on quality time with your family outside of other responsibilities. I also enjoy working with your four legged friends! I have spent many years pet sitting for both dogs and cats! I can assist with drop ins during log shifts for a food refill or even a long walk. I am also occasionally available for longer periods check-ins if you’re out of town! I look forward to helping local families out in ways that meet their needs! I can provide references upon request.

I have worked with all ages through summer camps, church events, and assisted living. I have worked with infants around 8 months and older, along with plenty of experience with multiple children of all ages at once. I have taught children in a church environment, gymnastics environment, and summer camp environment. I enjoy doing outdoor activities and playing games. I have worked in home health and assisted living facility. It’s very important to me that those who aren’t as able bodies get the help and respect they deserve.

Charlena $20 per hour for 1 child

What's your experience with various pets and breeds? I've owned pets throughout my life, including large breed dogs and cats — I currently have a cat at home. I have hands-on experience with German Shepherds specifically, including transporting them to veterinary appointments and administering their medications afterward. This has given me confidence handling large, high-energy breeds as well as the day-to-day needs of cats. What skills do you offer (walking, feeding, playing, etc.)? I offer a full range of pet care services: walking, feeding, playtime/exercise, and overnight boarding. I'm also experienced with administering medications, which I did regularly for my family's German Shepherds, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with medical needs or on a medication schedule. Are you comfortable with large animals and/or animals that shed? Yes, very comfortable. I have direct experience with large breed dogs like German Shepherds, including handling, transport, and medical care, so size isn't a concern for me. Shedding is a non-issue as well.

Booked by 39 families in Ellendale, TN

Hi! My name is Toshiana or Tasha for short as most people call me. I am 33 years old and a mother to a 13 year old little boy. I have been caring for children for 10+ years and currently care for children. I was a nanny for a family Monday-Friday in 2017 and I worked for them over a year. I also have experience working at a daycare(8months) and at a church nursery so multiples are not a problem. I am a frequent sitter for families in Memphis and surrounding areas. I love my job as a sitter because I've always had a love for children and always knew I wanted to be in some type of field where I got to work with children whether it be a pediatrician or psychologist etc. My ultimate goal is to open my own childcare center or just be a caregiver full time.
