I have been working with and taking care of animals for years, and pick up watching any critters when it fits in a full time schedule. Very attentive, detail oriented and reliable. Organized and orderly, able to adapt to your system and keep up with the house or farm.

Being a father I have had many years of experience watching children. I have worked the last 4 years as a substitute teacher and intervention assistant, where I have taught in elementary, middle and high schools. I volunteered as a chaperone for a band camp over 2 summers while my son was in school, as well as various youth groups. Being a substitute, I have an active background check conducted most recently in early 2023.

Hi! My name is Julianna, and I’m 18 with lots of experience caring for children and older adults through babysitting, work, church, and helping with family. I’m comfortable with all ages from infants to teens (and elder care! I worked as a caregiver) . I love doing crafts, playing games, helping with homework, and keeping kids engaged and having fun. I am CPR and First Aid certified and currently training to become an EMT, so I’m very comfortable staying calm and handling emergencies if needed. I also have intermediate Spanish skills, which can be helpful for communication with some families. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I always make sure kids feel safe and cared for. I’m available most evenings and nights, including overnight babysitting if needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
