Hi there! My name is Penelope and I’m a compassionate, patient, and reliable caregiver with a genuine love for helping others. I have experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I’m highly organized, attentive to detail, and always bring a calm, friendly energy to the families I work with. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or providing companionship, I aim to make each day a little easier and brighter for those I care for.
Hi, my name is Deborah Cohen and I would be happy to help out childcare and pet care. I have over 8 years experience taking care of children. I started off volunteering in my teens at my local church, taking care of multiple children of all ages. I eventually took care of a sweet little girl until she was 5 years old. I currently help out a family taking care of two boys. I enjoy being outside with kids, reading with them and playing games. I have experience with homework help, meal planning, baking, and doing crafts. I enjoy interacting with kids and I’m very patient. I also have experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with animals and then was a pet sitter for my sister. I’ve done pet sitting for several years and have experience with dog walking, distributing medication, and feeding. I’m also open to house sitting. I look forward to helping out in any way
Hi! I’m Ella and I’ll be a sophomore at Biola University. I love babysitting and I’ve also volunteered at lots of kids camps of many ages. My aspiration is to be a teacher so I’d love the opportunity to help with schoolwork! I’m willing to run errands and drive your kids anywhere, I’ve had my license for over three years. I’m more than happy to do any chores and take care of pets as well!
Hello, I'm Shannan, an artistpreneuer, here to help you relieve any scheduling pressure. I was a reading interventionist for 5 years for Marietta School System in Atlanta. I've also remotely tutored elementary age students with Reading Partners LA . If your child needs help reading, I'd love to get them on their reading level. During my busy season, I facilitate youth workshops for churches, schools and youth programs to show them the importance of being a servant leader. I was a caretaker for about 2 years as a companion for Seniors doing private duty care. My heart is soft for elders and children. Kindness is what I lead with so I'm dependable and patient. I am a humble servant leader. Careful. I value respect. Transparency, cleanliness, honesty and integrity are traits of my "ideal" clients' family. While I don't have any children of my own, I love the 13 neices and nephews I've been blessed with. Your loved one will be in good hands with me. I love music and marketing. Occasionally, I produce poetry events and I like watching documentaries on PBS. Im a life learner. I love the Lord and I work for him. Hoping to hear from you soon! Shannan
