Hi! My name is Hilary, and I’m a nursing student at Simmons University. I’m genuinely passionate about well-being, caregiving, and helping families feel supported. I’m also interested in pediatrics long-term, so working with kids is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I have been a care taker for more than 5 years. I’m offering care for children ages 2–10 and also senior care,companionship. I have experience working in assisted living, so I’m comfortable supporting older adults with patience, respect, and attention to safety. I can help with babysitting and age-appropriate play/activities (2–10), meal prep / light cooking, light cleaning and tidying up, run errands and helpful tasks around the house. I’m reliable, calm, patient, and caring. I pay attention to details, I communicate clearly, and I take safety seriously. I’m the type of person who shows up on time, follows instructions, and treats your home and your loved ones with respect. If you’re looking for someone dependable and warm to support your child or an older family member, feel free to message me
