Hi! I am an experienced sitter seasoned in taking care of toddlers and young children. I love pets, being outdoors, and generally enjoy watching any good movie or show. I’m well versed at meal prep and cleaning. Hope to meet soon!
🚨Before booking or scheduling an interview, please note that I am NO LONGER in the DMV area; however, I can refer experienced peers upon request🚨 — Hi families!! My name is Nellisha, and I'm super excited to serve you and your loved ones. I am offering child, senior, and household services. I am a recent Howard University graduate, and I have worked with children in a professional setting from all age groups since 2017. Additionally, being the oldest of many cousins and being a leader of the children's group at my church, I have found caring for children to be a passion that I have. I also have experience caring for seniors, as I’ve obtained both my CPR/First Aid Certification and my Certified Nursing Assistant license in high school, where my clinical hours were done in a nursing facility. I enjoy arts and crafts, dancing, and working out, and I can also offer homework help for your child as well. I also enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes, and that is something I can do to with your child to help keep them occupied. Regarding household services, I can clean, house sit, and possibly run errands. I am also comfortable tending to a family with dogs.
