Hello! My name is Briseida and I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Work in 2017. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I have about 10+ years of experience providing direct care to children ages 0-17 as a babysitter and in professional settings. I truly enjoying working with children and providing opportunities for them to learn, grow, and have fun. I have flexibility to work during weekends, including evenings and nights. I have reliable transportation and can cook, clean, run errands, and care for pets. I look forward to meet you and your family.

Hi!! My name is Ashley and I can't wait to meet you and your little ones. I'm BLS CPR certified and have 3 years of paid babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of unpaid experience caring for my younger siblings and relatives. As the oldest of four, I've been surrounded by children my whole life, and it's something I genuinely love. In my freetime you can usually find me reading a good book, taking photos, or spending time at church a couple of times a week. My faith has taught me the importance of kindness, patience, and serving others, which I strive to bring into everything I do. My biggest priority is making sure your children are safe while having fun. I can do light housekeeping, meals, transportation, bedtime, etc. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your children with someone, and I will always do my best to give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Ashley is very patient, caring and loving. My kids loved her. We were sad when she moved to a different state. Ashley takes the time to know you child's needs. She is great with kids with special needs as well.”
Hello my name is Yashaley i’m currently in my first year of college. I am offering pet services. I am mostly used to taking care of smaller to medium sized dogs, but I do have some experience with some of the bigger breeds as well as any cats. I can walk, play, feed and pick up after them and do any basic house work cleaning.
“Yashaley was so careful with my baby and he was all smiles and tail wags. She’s such a warm spirit ”
Hello:) My name is Sydney. I have a long career of working with children of all ages including those with special needs. I have a masters in speech therapy and have worked as a speech therapist and feeding therapist for 1.5 years. I love to incorporate language and developmental models when working with children of all abilities and levels of development. I love working with children and find it comes naturally to me. I also have experiences dog sitting and have a wonderful labradoodle that loves to make friends. I am wanting to make extra $ on the side of the part time speech therapy jobs because my husband and I just bought our first home and would also like to save up to have our own children:)
