Booked by 1 family in Ellendale, TN

Hi! My name is Shelby and I have always had a passion for animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work directly with animals. That passion led me to a career as a Zoo Keeper, for two of the nations top zoos. In addition to my years of experience as a zoo keeper, I also spent 3 years as a veterinarian assistant. I am a trained and caring individual that will treat your pets with the same love and attention.

Kylie $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kylie, and I am an elementary school teacher with several years of experience working with children. I have experience in both daycare and nannying, and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages! Throughout my childcare experience, I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained and engaged through crafts, games, outdoor activities, reading, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, transportation, and other childcare needs.

Desarae $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Desarae and I am a mom to 4 year old twins. I am CPR/AED certified and have over 10+ experience working with children ages 5-17 and 2+ years working with seniors. I previously was a caregiver for two years and also a clerk/coordinator/summer instructor at an after school program. I am comfortable with homework help, light housework cleaning, cooking, laundry and arts & crafts! Being a mom myself, I am open to negotiating as I believe it takes a village. I’m currently in school for clinicals so feel free to reach out to me for any availability you may need. I am more available on certain days if I am able to bring my twins along too! If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to answer them!

"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!"
