“Dina is amazing! She is so good with my kids and such a fast learner. 10/10 recommend! ”
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!
Hi! My name is Rebekah, I love pets and would love to watch yours! As a fellow pet owner I know it’s stressful to go out of town and leave your pets with someone or have to put them in a kennel. I get it, but you don’t have to worry about leaving them with me!
Hi I’m Melody Jones and I am a 23 yr old bilingual (Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Counseling masters student at the University of Memphis. I offer various babysitting services, from set schedules to date nights and occasional help! I have over 8 years of child care experience from babysitting, nannying and other jobs. Over that time I have worked with children ranging ages 2 months- 13 years old. I enjoy working with a family that likes to get outside on a sunny Memphis day, as well as one that enjoys a good indoor craft and day well spent at home. I can assist all ages with homework as well as preparing meals, and driving them to their activities. I can also help parents with household tasks and errands to help lighten the load. I enjoy being able to assist in ways that allow you to focus on quality time with your family outside of other responsibilities. I also enjoy working with your four legged friends! I have spent many years pet sitting for both dogs and cats! I can assist with drop ins during log shifts for a food refill or even a long walk. I am also occasionally available for longer periods check-ins if you’re out of town! I look forward to helping local families out in ways that meet their needs! I can provide references upon request.
