Hi, I’m Dinusha. I’m offering child care and senior care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborn baby, infant, toddler and kids since 2019. My responsibilities have feeding, reading books, playing. I have been caring my own grandma, she is dementia patient I take care of her since 2015. And I’m comfortable with senior care also. I can cook drive to the appointments and go to grocery shopping with them and spending time with them (reading, singing, dancing) Thank you
Hi! I’m Ella a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest sibling, I naturally stepped into a leadership role early on, helping with homework, meals, routines, and keeping the house running smoothly. I’ve also worked in elementary schools providing after-school support, supervising activities, organizing games, and helping students stay engaged and safe. I’m great with children of all ages and bring a calm, positive energy to every home. I can help with homework, creative play, bedtime routines, simple meal prep, and keeping kids entertained without screens. I’m also happy to help with light chores, such as tidying, dishes, laundry, and basic household organization — whatever makes your day a little easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet sitting and pet care, including feeding, walks, litter changes, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, so your animals will be in safe hands too.
