I am a reliable and caring childcare provider with over four years of experience working with children of various ages, majority being school age. I am certified in both BLS and CPR, and an EMT. I have experience planning age-appropriate activities as well as providing tutoring help to better academic growth. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks. Cleaning and meal preparations are abilities I am well versed in. I have a valid driver's license and am very comfortable with multiple pets within the household. My goal is to create a safe and engaging space for every child I work with.

Hi! I am Dana, a freshman at the University of Arizona. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I was and continue to be the family’s unofficial babysitter, tutor, and pet sitter. Having a large family I have taken care of multiple children at a time, the largest group being of 10. My experience with care taking is extensive, I have worked with age ranges from 9 months to 15 years of age. I love working with children and have developed a passion for teaching. Most of my work with children have been through tutoring sessions. As for senior care, I have experience through supporting my grandmother after my grandfather’s passing. This included cooking with her, accompanying her in everyday tasks, and ensuring her every need is taken care of. Although I have have yet to be a pet sitter I have a dog of my own, and I ensure that his every needs are taken care of. I am comfortable pet sitting smaller animals, as my experience is with my small dog. I have experience house sitting for family members, and offer cleaning services if requested. Household services offered: driving to appointments, cleaning a general area, running errands, and organizing spaces. (I can bring my own cleaning supplies if requested)

Hi! My name is Karina! I'm a 20-year-old mom to a fun and energetic 3-year-old girl. Being a parent has given me valuable hands-on childcare experience, and I love creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment for kids. I'm reliable, patient, and happy to help with playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones as if they were my own!

Hello, I have experience caregiving for an elderly person daily for 1 year and am capable of handling tasks for those around me who are unable to do so. I have watched Children of relatives for weekends or when their parents go out of town/vactions, managed their needs of getting them to school and preparing meals for the week. I am a pet owner myself and have a pet-sitting background for Dogs & Cats. I am easy going and always willing to attend to the needs of those under my care. Thank you for reading this. May this message find you well and I hope I can be a caregiver for your requests/needs. Have a great day.
