Hi there! I’m someone who genuinely loves both animals and kids, and I bring a calm, steady presence into homes that many pets and children naturally respond to. Animals have been part of my life for years. I currently have two cats and a dog, and I’ve spent a lot of time reading about breeds, training, and animal behavior simply because I enjoy understanding how they think and what helps them feel safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—including very large breeds—and have experience with many types such as Aussies, cattle dogs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, St. Bernards, Shibas, doodles, bichons, and westies. I’m happy doing dog walking, drop-ins, overnight pet sitting, house sitting, and long walks or hikes. I also have plenty of experience caring for multiple pets at once and am comfortable with cats of all personalities. People often tell me their pets relax quickly around me, especially animals that tend to be anxious or sensitive. I’m naturally attentive to their cues and enjoy creating a calm environment where they feel secure and cared for. I also truly enjoy spending time with children. I have many years of experience working with youth through mentoring, programs, and babysitting. I especially love caring for infants and toddlers, and I connect well with middle schoolers and teens too. My style with kids is calm, patient, and grounded. I’m comfortable supporting emotional moments, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, cooking simple meals, and keeping routines running smoothly. Families often describe me as dependable, thoughtful, and easy to trust with both their kids and their pets. I treat every home with respect and care, and I always aim to leave things feeling peaceful and well cared for.

Hello, I am a mother and stepmother to four adult children. My daughter was diagnosed with Autism at 3 years old. We combined our blended family when the children were 5, 10 ,14, and 15. I have great empathy, creativity, and patience. I understand the stress and balance a family must overcome on a daily basis. I have had many full-time jobs including babysitting, as a CNA, a secretary in a hospital, and a paralegal for a DA office, so my criminal history is exemplary. I am in a place where I would like a part-time job, and since my elder children refuse to give me grandchildren (ha ha), I look forward to spending time with your littles. Having an autistic child, forced me to readjust the landscape of parenting. I have a combination of creativity and patience that drive my compassion for children. Let's not forget the humor and love. I love cooking and keeping things neat.
