Hi! I am currently attending Penrose Academy to become a licensed medical aesthetician and laser technician. I am out of school at 4:30pm Wednesdays-Saturdays, so I am looking for some part time opportunities for nannying or date nights! I've been working with children for 11 years, including 5 years as a full-time nanny for multiple families. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from one-week-old newborns to 16-year-olds. I've provided overnight care and stayed with children for a week or longer while their parents were out of town, so I'm comfortable managing routines and keeping things running smoothly. I also taught dance for 10 years, and I've helped raise my younger cousin and nephew, so caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. I love building strong relationships with the families I work with and creating a fun, safe, and dependable environment where kids can be themselves. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, or want to figure something out!!
I've been babysitting and nannying for 7 years now. I'm currently in school part time and aside from my morning nannying job, my schedule is relatively free. I have experience caring for up to 4 young kids at a time, babies over 4 months old, twins as well as children with special needs. In addition to caring for your child(ren), I will gladly do light chore work, can take your kids to and from activities, and cook. I've also assisted in online learning myself, and can help your child with their school day or offer tutoring services while they're completing their school work. My special skills include conflict management, and having done extensive research on emotional development, I consider myself to be very knowledgeable in that area of care. I will treat your kids like my own, and will be responsible, communicative and diligent while caring for your child.
“Lily is so sweet. My son loves playing with her on the days I've been able to book her. I will definitely hire her again.”
Hi, I’m Sandra! I’m a retired veterinary technician with 30 years of experience and have been providing trusted, loving pet care since 2007. I specialize in personalized care for dogs, cats, birds, and other small pets, including seniors and pets who need medication. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—just like family.
I’ve spent the past 3+ years working with children of all ages, from preschoolers to middle schoolers. I started as an intern at an elementary school and now work in a school setting supporting both learning and play. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, with a strong passion for helping kids feel safe, confident, and cared for. I also enjoy helping with light household tasks and caring for pets, making me a well-rounded and reliable caregiver for any family.
