Hi! My name is Rebekah, I love pets and would love to watch yours! As a fellow pet owner I know it’s stressful to go out of town and leave your pets with someone or have to put them in a kennel. I get it, but you don’t have to worry about leaving them with me!

Booked by 39 families in Lamar, MS
Hi! My name is Toshiana or Tasha for short as most people call me. I am 33 years old and a mother to a 13 year old little boy. I have been caring for children for 10+ years and currently care for children. I was a nanny for a family Monday-Friday in 2017 and I worked for them over a year. I also have experience working at a daycare(8months) and at a church nursery so multiples are not a problem. I am a frequent sitter for families in Memphis and surrounding areas. I love my job as a sitter because I've always had a love for children and always knew I wanted to be in some type of field where I got to work with children whether it be a pediatrician or psychologist etc. My ultimate goal is to open my own childcare center or just be a caregiver full time.
