I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting. I can care for any plant and maintain household chores and necessities as needed. I have a wonderful cat and have had dogs in the past. I pride myself on being wonderful with animals. Besides the essentials of food/water/needs, I know each animal requires love, attention, and comfort while their favorite people are away!! I am open to watching children but do not have much experience at this time. I have proven to be a trustworthy person and have held many high-stakes jobs (such as an ambulance dispatcher), which has given me a large sense of accountability, responsibility, and dependability. I have a completely open schedule at this time, and I'm willing to work any hours needed.
Hi parents! My name is Bella, and I’m currently seeking a part-time nanny position. I have 8 years of experience working with children in a variety of capacities, including as an assistant preschool teacher, one-on-one paraprofessional supporting special needs children, camp counselor, babysitter, and full-time nanny. This fall, I’m beginning graduate school at Regis University to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with the ultimate goal of helping children and their families as my full-time career. I’m a dedicated and compassionate nanny who absolutely loves working with children, and I take pride in helping them grow into the best versions of themselves. If you’re looking for someone with experience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for kids, I would love to connect and discuss how I can support your family! Feel free to message me for more information.
I live in an apartment downtown with a cat and dog. Willing to pet sit most dogs as long as they get along with my current pets. Can only handle three dogs total including my dog.
“Great dog sitter”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
