Hi! I’m offering part time childcare, senior care, home care and pet care as services. I’ve been a Lake Tahoe Westshore resident for the past 11 years. My husband and I moved here from Eagle, CO just in time for our daughter to start 1st grade. She’s now a senior at North Tahoe High School. She’s been involved with the cheer and tennis programs but loves the snowboarding winter program the most. We also have two beautiful sisters we are currently a Resource Family for ages 17 & 11. I come from a large family of 7 siblings whom all have children of their own. I’ve taken care of plenty of children from newborn to teenagers. We have an 8 year old German shepherd who absolutely loves the winter but hates bikes and bears. :) My 82 year old Father in law is widowed and retired so we moved him in with us 6 years ago. My nephew also resides with us as we’ve helped raise him since infancy. I was a Communications and Theatre major in College. I’m currently a licensed Real Estate agent in CA and NV. I absolutely love children of all ages. I love to cook and I’m good with everyday housework and have plenty of experience in all aspects of home care. I love everything outdoors to biking, walking, swimming, paddle boarding or just time playing at the beach or on the mountain. I am a current licensed Placer County Resource Parent (Foster Family ) which includes CPR/AED:Adult,Children,Infant + First Aid (BLS) Certification.

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! ”

Hi! My name is Simona; I’m from Argentina, but currently living in Tahoe on a J-1 visa. I work as a ski instructor, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and clear communication especially with children. I’m a responsible, caring, and friendly babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and always focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to help your family and be someone you can count on! ❤️
