I am a mother to three beautiful girls ages 13, 22, and 26. I also have an adorable 1.5 yr old grandson whom I spend a lot of time with. I have been working as a caregiver for seniors for the past two years. I love working with and helping people of all ages. I practice patience, kindness, and love in everything I do ❤️ I provide care for a senior on Mondays and Fridays, so my availability is limited to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am currently booked with a family through May, but will be available to additional families beginning in June.

Suzanne is thoughtful and comes with a plan for the day . She is organized and it’s been a joy to work with her

Hi my name is Samantha. I am a full time medical assistant who is cpr certified. I’ve worked in the medical field for more than 15yrs from newborn to working in obstetrical care. I have extensive experience both as a parent and a babysitter. Being a parent has given me firsthand knowledge of caring for children of all ages, from meeting their basic needs to supporting their growth and development. In addition, I’ve spent many years babysitting for other families, which has taught me how to adapt to different routines, personalities, and parenting styles. I’m confident in my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids.

Samantha was amazing! She arrived on time and was fully prepared to jump right in, which I greatly appreciated given the last-minute nature of the request. She was kind, attentive, and immediately connected with my child, who enjoyed playing games and doing arts and crafts. She followed all instructions perfectly, from meal prep and feeding to nap time, bath time, and bedtime. Everything I needed was accomplished seamlessly, and she handled the day with professionalism and care. Her quick response to my last-minute post and willingness to help out on short notice truly stood out. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring babysitter!
