Hi - My name is Vannessa and I am a retired wife, mother, grandmother and First Lady. I am currently offering household cleaning services. I have been a caretaker for my own family members in the past. I can cook, clean and help with organizing spaces. I prefer not to work with families with pets.

Vannessa, delivers thorough, detail-oriented work in organizing and decluttering residential spaces. She demonstrates strong judgment in sorting and preparing items for donation, while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and organization. Vannessa also, effectively follows homeowner preferences and ensures tasks are completed efficiently and thoughtfully. I would definitely hire her again.

Booked by 1 family in Southaven, MS

I’m well-qualified to take care of a dog because I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely care about animals’ well-being. I understand the daily needs of dogs, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment. I’m also familiar with basic training techniques and can recognize signs of distress or illness, so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or offering affection and stimulation, I’m ready and capable of meeting both the physical and emotional needs of a dog.

Abbie expertly cares for my cat and dog, giving special attention to their wellbeing. My dog is always well behaved after Abbie's care, as she provides consistency in routine and gives her all the love.

"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!"
