Hi! I’m Cait. I have extensive experience caring for children, especially toddlers and older. I’ve been babysitting my younger sister, who is now six, since she was born, and I also took on many babysitting jobs for family friends throughout high school. I’m currently in a doctoral program for pediatric occupational therapy and am CPR certified. I’m also trained in the use of EpiPens and Narcan, and I hold a HIPAA certification among a few others required for school. I’ve had my driver’s license for nearly 10 years and have a clean driving record. When it comes to activities, I love staying active with kids, whether it’s playing outdoors, creating fun indoor games, or coming up with imaginative ways to keep them engaged. I also have plenty of experience with video games from growing up with my cousins, so I can join in on those too! I’m happy to help with homework, cooking, light cleaning, and general household support. I also have experience with pet sitting, including overnight stays, daily walks, and feeding routines. I used to pet sit through Rover during my undergraduate years. As for household upkeep, I’m comfortable with basic tasks like doing dishes, tidying play and living areas, vacuuming, mopping, sweeping, laundry, making beds, and cleaning up any little messes that may happen. I don’t bring my own cleaning supplies, as I like to follow each family’s preference for natural or chemical products to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.
