Hi there! I am a mother of an outgoing 16 year old daughter and a sweet little 10 year old boy who live out of state with their dad so I am able to help on my free time for other children. I love kids and have the personal experience to back it up as well. I am outgoing and fun but also very much keep a routine and schedule and feel it’s important for kids as well. So whatever your needs are, I’d be happy to meet the most important little ones in your world and take care of them as if they were my own. I also have dog and cat care experience as I’ve grown up around them and also have a sweet loving cat of my own now. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends as well because I love animals and welcome the opportunity to give love and attention to them but also am very responsible and make sure any particular needs are met such as giving medication on time or special food requirements or anything else our furry children may need! Bonus!! I am extremely organized and like things to be kept clean!
