I’m a caring, dependable CNA who loves helping families! I’m responsible, patient, organized, and comfortable caring for children and pets. I’m also happy to help with errands and household tasks to make your day a little easier!
Hi! My name is Guennivere and I am an 18 year old senior in high school with a big passion for caretaking. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love kids and animals with all my heart. I plan to become an art teacher in the future, so I’d love to do all kinds of art/craft projects to if your kids are interested! I’ve had two younger brothers for most of my life that I’ve cared for continuously whether that’s changing diapers, cooking, emotional support, etc. My biggest goal is to be an extra person in your kid(s)’s life that they know cares about them. I’ve found it’s incredibly important to let kids be kids and I’m positive I can find the perfect balance to help your kids excel while also keeping their spirits high! Although art is my favorite activity, I have a big family with all kinds of interests, so I’ll make sure their interests are prioritized and paid attention to. My dad has been a chef my whole life so I can happily take care of food. I have great communication skills, especially regarding emotional issues, so you as the parent will be kept fully up to date with how your child’s doing. A priority of mine is to let parents have alone time without having to feel any worry about their kid, it’s called alone time for a reason! I’ve been around cats and dogs a LOT my whole life. Seriously- I had 15 cats at one point. Nonetheless my love and excitement for them stays the same. So if you need a pet sitter, I’m all ears for that too!
Hello. My name is Goldie. I'm 49 years old and have many years of experience providing safe and loving care to children of all ages, from infants to grade schoolers. I truly love children, and give my all to provide a fun, supportive and learning environment. I believe they are angels on earth and I am blessed to be around them. I prefer non-smoking environments, and am comfortable with household pets. I am happy to provide references; some of my families I have been giving care to for over eleven years! I would enjoy talking about how I can help your family with sitting :)
Hi, my name is Bonnie. I work part-time as an accountant and am looking to fill my days helping others. I love working with kids. Being the youngest of 7 children, I grew up with the unique opportunity to be an aunt of over 20 nieces and nephews combined. I was their fun, kind aunt and they loved when I'd babysit and help care for them. Those years really showed me how to work with children of all ages. Aside from my family, I have experience tutoring children from 1st to 5th grade in reading and math and was a girls middle school and high school basketball coach for 5 years. I love working with elderly individuals. Both sets of my grandparents lived with me and my parents at different times as I was growing up. I played an active role in caring for them by making them meals, assisting them, and just visiting with them. I appreciate hearing the stories of their backgrounds and places they've been. I've found it's providing them company and someone to talk to that really cheers them up and motivates them. I'm a dog magnet. Dogs know a kind soul when they see one. Dogs are the best kind of animal, and I have over 21 years experience owning and caring for them. From chihuahuas to German Shepherds, I have taken care of a variety of dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors.
Hi there! I'm Siya - a 19-year-old with a big heart and an even bigger love for kids! I've been babysitting for over 5 years and have experience with little ones of all ages, including children with special needs. I'm CPR certified, have a current background check, reliable transportation, and a clean driving record. I'm also a huge pet lover and always bring lots of energy, patience, and positivity. Whether it's playtime, snack time, or bedtime, I'll make sure your kids feel safe, happy, and cared for! Let me know if you'd like to schedule an interview or have any follow up questions.
