Hi there! I’m a dependable and nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience across childcare, pet care, and home support. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings and cousins from a young age and have babysat for families throughout Canton during high school and middle school. I’m especially experienced with toddlers and kids (ages 2–12), including those with autism and ADHD — my own little brother and cousins have given me firsthand insight and patience in neurodiverse care. I’ve studied psychology and sociology in school, so I understand not only how to care, but why children need the right kind of attention and emotional support at every stage. Parents have called me mature beyond my years, with a natural ability to make kids feel safe and heard. I’m currently an intern at a real estate agency and on track to receive my Michigan license this year — a path that’s helped sharpen my professionalism and organization, while still allowing me the flexibility to do what I love: caregiving. As for pets — I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my current shih tzu who’s been with me over 10 years. I’m also no stranger to cleaning; I’ve maintained large family homes (like my dad’s in Ypsilanti), helped my aunts around their houses, and take pride in keeping a tidy, welcoming space. Whether you’re looking for a sitter, pet companion, or just an extra set of reliable hands — I’ve got you covered. I show up with care, calm, and a whole lot of heart.
