Hi I’m Evelyn but you can call me Eve! I’m currently an associate at Amazon, but I’m looking for something more meaningful where I can share my love and care with kids and pets! I’ve always been close to kids, especially my younger cousins who I cared for like little siblings. During 2020, while I was still in highschool, I lived with three of them (ages 6, 7, and 8) and spent a year helping with their schoolwork, sitting through Zoom classes, making them snacks or dinner if their mom wasn’t home yet, and just being there for them. We played games, watched movies, and had a lot of fun together, which made that time really special. I’ve also babysat toddlers here and there. I don’t have as much experience with babies, but I do my best when parents give me instructions and let me know what their little one likes. I know every experience helps me learn more for the future, and I’m always patient and willing to grow. Taking care of kids has taught me a lot about responsibility, but also about the joy of making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve always loved animals! I care for my cat every day and grew up with two dogs, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. With clear instructions and a little patience while pets warm up. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved!!

Hello, I am Ms. Doris (or Dee) and I am 29. I am offering childcare, senior care and household services. As a compassionate and attentive caregiver with a strong background in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Hence, I worked with kids on the spectrum (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome...) I have experience working with kids in professional settings and in home babysitting. I have watched kids from different age groups (infants, toddlers...) since I was 15 years old. I can help with homework and tutoring. I enjoy dancing and taking walks outside. I have obtained my bachelor's in psychology from Methodist University in North Carolina. I can help with light Housekeeping, cleaning and cooking. I have a driver's license and a car. I grew up in a big family: I have in total 7 siblings and took care of 5 of them as I was growing up. I learned very early on how to assist my siblings at a very young age. Working in different settings (in home, in clinics) as a Behavioral Therapist gave me more insight, experience, knowledge and patience with kids.
