Hello, It is very nice to find you here. I began my childcare, elder care, and pet care services as a teenager, and I am now in my mid 50s. I love caring for others and making them feel supported. I have worked with children from infants through high school. As a teen, I was the neighborhood babysitter :-). After I finished college, I became a substitute teacher for grades K-12 and subsequently an elementary school teacher of 2nd grade. Kids are great little people! During my high school years, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. Currently I am able to go to the pet's home to make sure they are taken for walks and fed along with other needs. Dogs, cats, pet rabbits, and other furry creatures are little bundles of love. :-) My elder care experience began with my grandmother who developed Alzheimer's nearly 10 years ago. I took care of her daily living needs, cooking, errands, and social events. I have since had a number of elder care clients who need support in their living space. It gives me great pleasure to know I've made someone else's day better with my caring skills. Looking forward to chatting with you.

Tanya has helped me run my household several times in a few different capacities over several decades. She was an excellent baby sitter for my son, and I also have trusted her with house and pet sitting. Tanya is reliable, honest and a real pleasure as a person. She is kind, compassionate and attuned. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Hello! My name is Reece, and I am available for babysitting, childcare, transportation, and summer nanny positions before I leave for Southern Methodist University (SMU) this fall. I recently graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School with a 4.2 GPA and have spent much of my high school career working with children of all ages in leadership, mentoring, camp, and volunteer roles. I am CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard certified, and safety is always my top priority. Last summer, I served as a Junior Counselor at Gold Arrow Camp, where I completed leadership training, supervised children ages 7–8, led activities, managed conflicts, and ensured campers felt safe, included, and engaged. I have also worked as a counselor at Helen Woodward Critter Camp and volunteered extensively through the Miracle League of San Diego, helping children and adults with special needs participate in sports and recreational activities. In addition, I have served as a mentor through Cathedral Catholic’s Options Program, assisting students with physical and developmental disabilities both academically and socially. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, adaptability, and how to connect with children of different ages and personalities. Outside of childcare, I have been a varsity dance team captain, competitive dancer, and active community volunteer. I love staying active and enjoy playing games, doing crafts, swimming, spending time outdoors, and helping kids have fun while staying safe and engaged. I have reliable transportation and drive a safe Audi Q5, making me available for camp drop-offs, activity transportation, errands, and other family needs. I am dependable, energetic, and genuinely enjoy working with children. References are available upon request, and I would love the opportunity to support your family this summer!
