Booked by 1 family in Memphis, TN

Hi! My name is Michelle and I am currently working at Christ Methodist Day School as an Infant Teacher. I’m offering pet care, and child care. I absolutely love children and animals! I have been babysitting for over a year now. With tons of experience with family members and at my jobs at daycares. As for the pets, I have experience from taking care of my own. I currently own 3 dogs and 2 cats! They are my babies and see them as part of my family! I can cook, clean and help around! I’ll take your dog on walks, dog parks, out to go potty and help with feeding and baths! For your actual human babies, I’ll change their diapers, do bottles, play with them, do crafts (which I will provide supplies), give them dinner, bathe them, read them stories and put them to bed. I will be following a detailed routine for bedtime if you want me to! I’ll stay right beside them or hold them until they fall asleep.

Abbie 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Memphis, TN

I’m well-qualified to take care of a dog because I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely care about animals’ well-being. I understand the daily needs of dogs, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment. I’m also familiar with basic training techniques and can recognize signs of distress or illness, so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or offering affection and stimulation, I’m ready and capable of meeting both the physical and emotional needs of a dog.

Abbie expertly cares for my cat and dog, giving special attention to their wellbeing. My dog is always well behaved after Abbie's care, as she provides consistency in routine and gives her all the love.
