One could say I’m very well seasoned in several areas. I have many years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping elderly family members, and continued helping elderly family members, as well as church members in my adulthood. I have cared for and babysat children of all ages. Some of my responsibilities have been picking up, dropping off children, as well as getting elders to appointments or activities. I have helped with meal prep household chores and errands. I’ve cared for animals my whole life as well. I hold a degree in Veterinary Technology and am certified in First Aid and CPR. I’m dependable, patient, and adaptable, and I enjoy making sure those I care for feel safe, comfortable, and supported
My name is Analisa and I have about 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I have tutored many school age children as well as taken care of senior citizens. I take pride in the care that I’m able to give. I am also a pharmacy technician and understand how to care for people on a lower medical level. I love what I do and I also serve at the nursery for my church often. I hope to be able to serve you and your family the way you need.
