Hello Parents, I’m Lisa, a high energy responsible and mature woman with a clean background check. I am drug, Alcohol & smoke free. I have a truck, car and 2 car seats. I have a clean driver’s license and full insurance. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old which gives me 34 years of experience. I also pet sit & elder sit so if you are out of town I can watch your furry baby's too. Last week I watched twin 2 1/2 year old girls while their parents flew away on vacation for 7 days. Other experience; premature babies, 4 days old babies, ALOT of twins, 3 year old triplets, autism, ADHD, Asperger, Down syndrome, asthma and following a special diet such as gluten-free & dairy free. 2019 I cared for twin 4 months old girls until they were a year old, 2 full days a week. -7/2011 - 7/2017 I was watching Kai from 13 months old till 7. Kai has Autism along with delayed walking & speech, many food allergies and some behavioral issues. I watched Kai for an occasional date night & then every Sunday. On Sunday's I picked him up at 8 am at his house. I then drove him to a soccer class followed by breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterwards we would go to a local park/library/zoo/sea world/movie during the middle of the day. At 3pm I would drive him to his 3:30 therapy horseback riding where his parents pick him up at 4. Kai would also sleepover at my home 1 night every couple of months so his parents can have a night away. Kai is gluten free & dairy free so I can follow a stick food program. I also house sit & dog sat when they went out of town. Sadly after watching Kai for 6 years he has moved out of state on July 2016 to be closer to his grandparents. 2- 2[removed] Samantha age 13 & Stephanie is 10 years old. I watched the girls since they were 3 years old and 4 months old. I saw this family about once a month. 3- 2015-current ; I had been watching Sam since he was 4 months old and he is now 10 years old . I see this family every other month. 4- 2012-2018 I started watching Nick when he was 21 months until he 7 years old. Nick became a big brother when he was 3 years and I started watching his sister Addison when she was 2 weeks old. I used to see this family twice a month but they had a 3rd child in 2014 they hired a live in nanny and I was no longer needed. This is a VERY small example of my history and If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. Thank you very much for considering me, Lisa

Hello, It is very nice to find you here. I began my childcare, elder care, and pet care services as a teenager, and I am now in my mid 50s. I love caring for others and making them feel supported. I have worked with children from infants through high school. As a teen, I was the neighborhood babysitter :-). After I finished college, I became a substitute teacher for grades K-12 and subsequently an elementary school teacher of 2nd grade. Kids are great little people! During my high school years, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. Currently I am able to go to the pet's home to make sure they are taken for walks and fed along with other needs. Dogs, cats, pet rabbits, and other furry creatures are little bundles of love. :-) My elder care experience began with my grandmother who developed Alzheimer's nearly 10 years ago. I took care of her daily living needs, cooking, errands, and social events. I have since had a number of elder care clients who need support in their living space. It gives me great pleasure to know I've made someone else's day better with my caring skills. Looking forward to chatting with you.

Tanya has helped me run my household several times in a few different capacities over several decades. She was an excellent baby sitter for my son, and I also have trusted her with house and pet sitting. Tanya is reliable, honest and a real pleasure as a person. She is kind, compassionate and attuned. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
