Hello! My name is Sage , and I am a senior at Michigan State University studying psychology with a minor in human development and social services. I absolutely adore children and have experience caring for children across a wide range of ages. I have babysat for numerous families for years at a time and have loved watching the children grow, develop, and reach new milestones. I am responsible, outgoing, patient, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children. I love engaging with kids and planning a variety of activities that are fun, creative, and age-appropriate while they are in my care. I also have experience working with children through my internship at a women and children’s shelter. While there, I regularly cared for children while their mothers took time for themselves or attended to other responsibilities. This experience strengthened my ability to be patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help families with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and running errands. I am also very comfortable around animals! I have two dogs and a cat, and I have experience living with roommates who had a bearded dragon and a hedgehog. I love giving back to my community and would be grateful for the opportunity to support families and make a positive difference in their lives!
Hi my name is Gabriella - Brie for short. I am a Junior at Michigan State University double majoring in International Relations and Supply Chain Management. I am from the Washington DC suburbs and am here for school. I offer childcare, pet services, and household services. At age 12 I began mother's helping in my neighborhood, advancing to babysitting and petsitting at 14, by 16 I added housesitting, driving children to and from school and activities, and tutoring to my services. I have both house sit and pet sit overnight, I always encourage families to hire a live-in pet sitter while gone rather than a day walker or boarding so your pet is used to them and has a routine in a safe and familiar place. I love sports, reading, walking when the weather is nice, games and cards, and am generally a chatty person. I have been described as warm and bubbly, while also being able to adapt to a child's temperament and mood needs. I do ask a lot of clarifying questions because I never want to overstep your role as a parent or pet parent, so open and clear communication is a must for me.
I have a mothering vibe, I love taking care of babies and pets. I am a mom myself and own different type of pets. I'm a introvert and shy but once I'm comfortable I'm bubbly and full of life.
Hello! My name is Riley and my experience with children comes from my family! I have 6 siblings total, 2 of which have children whom I’ve babysat for. Their ages are from 1, 7, and 11, and I have cared for them through multiple stages in their life. I am still learning and growing and I hope that you trust in my ability to grow!
