I’m a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others. I have experience caring for children, pets, and assisting with household tasks, and I’m known for being responsible, organized, and calm under pressure. My background in political science and current graduate studies in psychology have strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and understanding of people’s needs. Whether it’s providing a safe, engaging environment for children, offering companionship to seniors, caring for pets, or helping with errands and light housekeeping, I strive to make life a little easier for the families I work with. I value honesty, kindness, and reliability, and I treat every person with the same respect and care I would want for my own loved ones.
I’m a reliable, hardworking, and detail-oriented person with hands-on experience in household upkeep, cleaning, yard work, and everyday errands. I take pride in doing the job right the first time, staying organized, and communicating clearly. I work efficiently, show up on time, and bring a positive, respectful attitude to every task. Whether it’s deep cleaning, running errands, or maintaining outdoor spaces, I’m committed to making life easier and keeping your home in great shape.
Hi - My name is Ian and I'm currently a senior at FACS. I am offering yard services. I have three (3) years of experience in cutting yards, racking leaves, etc. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, working part-time at Chick-fil-A, and delivering groceries for Spark.
I am interested in babysitting for my grandchildren, should there be any born. I hope to provide this service for my grandchildren in order that they may have a safe environment in which to learn and thrive.
Hi! My name is Lara, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with over 8 years of experience working with children. As a mom of a 14-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, I truly understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I have a background in education with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature, and I’ve spent the past several years working in an elementary school in Germantown, TN, supporting students as a substitute teacher and attendance secretary. This experience has given me strong skills in understanding children’s needs both academically and emotionally. I love engaging kids in fun and creative activities like painting, crafts, and storytelling, and I’m always happy to help with homework and learning when needed. I’m CPR certified, highly organized, and fluent in both English and Arabic. I treat every child with kindness, patience, and respect, and I always aim to build a strong, trusting connection with both children and their families. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive part of your child’s day!
