I love to engage with children in a safe, positive and joyful manner! Currently I work in a childcare nursery with kids generally between 6 months and 5 years old. I worked at a very busy childcare center in a health club for about 18 years, with children between ages 6 months and 12 years. I look forward to bringing my decades of childcare experience, enthusiasm and joy to my interactions with your child.
“So kind trying to meet Sir Jingles! Would recommend Julie for anyone wanting a kind cat sitter!”

Hello! My name is Radiya and I am a college student studying Biomedical Science. I’m also an avid baker and food enthusiast! I grew up as the youngest sibling for almost thirteen years until my little brother was finally born. Since my older siblings were in college and very busy and both of my parents were employed, I shared responsibilities of taking care of my younger brother since high school. I also have an abundant amount of younger cousins that I would babysit so I’ve grown up around children my whole life and am very comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I have two cats at home so I am experienced with feeding cats, cleaning litters, etc. I don’t have much experience with dogs, but as long as they gets to know me and are relatively calm, I don’t mind being in the company of any dogs!
