Hey there! My name is Tori. I’ve been working with kids through youth sports programs and babysitting on and off for the last ten years. Currently I ski coach in the winter and nanny m-f 7:30-3:30 in Tahoe city. I am looking for child care opportunities for the off season and beyond. I am cpr certified and have taken courses on education and human development. I have experience with all ages I’ve had my husky the last 9 years and can handle dogs of all activity levels. What ever your pet care needs are I can handle. For your home garden, I can troubleshoot and solve any and all of your irrigation needs or issues. I can also help with whatever else your household needs.

Tori was great! She’s friendly and warm and connected with our kids immediately. She managed dinner/play/bedtime for 4 kids between ages 4-8 from two families, and they all loved her! We’ll definitely work with her again!
