Hi! My name is Emanoela, but you can also call me Ella. I am a 19-year-old pre-nursing student with about 3 years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages, including a 6-month-old, a 3-year-old, and a 5-year-old, whom I have cared for for over a year and a half, as well as other children. I truly love working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, cared for, and comfortable. I enjoy engaging with children through play, helping meet their needs, and creating a fun, nurturing, and supportive environment. I am very attentive, patient, and responsible, and I always make sure to assess what a child needs and provide the best care possible. I am CPR certified, which allows me to provide an extra level of safety and peace of mind for families. I also understand the importance of routines, safety, and communication with parents so they can feel confident while their children are in my care. Caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love building a trusting and positive relationship with both kids and parents.
Hi my name is Sandy Grace! I’m a college freshman at Santa Fe college majoring in nursing. My services include pet sitting, house sitting, nannying, and babysitting. I have always had brothers or sisters to take care of, this included helping them do their homework, creating fun activities, taking them to the park, swimming, and always being there for them for any needs! I enjoy helping kids do their homework, reading with them, coloring with them, outside activities, inside activities, and just being there to support them. My special skills include helping with homework and teaching kids how to be creative! For pet care, I’ve always had various kinds of animal. For example, I’ve had snakes, horses, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and a bunny. I can walk, feed, play, and just check on animals throughout the day or week! I’m comfortable with any animal no matter what type. For housesitting, I used to watch a families house for them while they went on long trips. This included staying in their house, taking care of their dog + cat, cleaning, mopping, vacuuming, doing laundry, and just basic cleaning around the house. I’m willing to do anything to help a family or even just do small one time tasks. Please reach out to me for any service!
