Hi! My name is Michelle and I am currently working at Christ Methodist Day School as an Infant Teacher. I’m offering pet care, and child care. I absolutely love children and animals! I have been babysitting for over a year now. With tons of experience with family members and at my jobs at daycares. As for the pets, I have experience from taking care of my own. I currently own 3 dogs and 2 cats! They are my babies and see them as part of my family! I can cook, clean and help around! I’ll take your dog on walks, dog parks, out to go potty and help with feeding and baths! For your actual human babies, I’ll change their diapers, do bottles, play with them, do crafts (which I will provide supplies), give them dinner, bathe them, read them stories and put them to bed. I will be following a detailed routine for bedtime if you want me to! I’ll stay right beside them or hold them until they fall asleep.

I have been in the medical field for 13 years which includes being CPR certified. I enjoy caring for other as if the were my own family. Between working in hospitals and clinics I have found that working with people is my passion. I also have a love for animals since I was a child volunteering at an animal shelter.

What's your experience with various pets and breeds? I've owned pets throughout my life, including large breed dogs and cats — I currently have a cat at home. I have hands-on experience with German Shepherds specifically, including transporting them to veterinary appointments and administering their medications afterward. This has given me confidence handling large, high-energy breeds as well as the day-to-day needs of cats. What skills do you offer (walking, feeding, playing, etc.)? I offer a full range of pet care services: walking, feeding, playtime/exercise, and overnight boarding. I'm also experienced with administering medications, which I did regularly for my family's German Shepherds, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with medical needs or on a medication schedule. Are you comfortable with large animals and/or animals that shed? Yes, very comfortable. I have direct experience with large breed dogs like German Shepherds, including handling, transport, and medical care, so size isn't a concern for me. Shedding is a non-issue as well.

"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!"
