Hi! My name is Tyrhianna, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience working with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and structured environment while helping with daily routines, homework, transportation, meals, and engaging activities. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and always prioritize a child’s safety, comfort, and happiness while keeping open communication with families.
Hi I’m Melody Jones and I am a 23 yr old bilingual (Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Counseling masters student at the University of Memphis. I offer various babysitting services, from set schedules to date nights and occasional help! I have over 8 years of child care experience from babysitting, nannying and other jobs. Over that time I have worked with children ranging ages 2 months- 13 years old. I enjoy working with a family that likes to get outside on a sunny Memphis day, as well as one that enjoys a good indoor craft and day well spent at home. I can assist all ages with homework as well as preparing meals, and driving them to their activities. I can also help parents with household tasks and errands to help lighten the load. I enjoy being able to assist in ways that allow you to focus on quality time with your family outside of other responsibilities. I also enjoy working with your four legged friends! I have spent many years pet sitting for both dogs and cats! I can assist with drop ins during log shifts for a food refill or even a long walk. I am also occasionally available for longer periods check-ins if you’re out of town! I look forward to helping local families out in ways that meet their needs! I can provide references upon request.
I have worked with all ages through summer camps, church events, and assisted living. I have worked with infants around 8 months and older, along with plenty of experience with multiple children of all ages at once. I have taught children in a church environment, gymnastics environment, and summer camp environment. I enjoy doing outdoor activities and playing games. I have worked in home health and assisted living facility. It’s very important to me that those who aren’t as able bodies get the help and respect they deserve.
Hi y’all, my name is LizAnne. I’m retired, worked for the same company for 32 years, till they closed. I really enjoy spending time with my grandboys, family, and friends. I started pet/house sitting for family and friends and have been doing it for over 15 years. Love all fur babies!!!
What's your experience with various pets and breeds? I've owned pets throughout my life, including large breed dogs and cats — I currently have a cat at home. I have hands-on experience with German Shepherds specifically, including transporting them to veterinary appointments and administering their medications afterward. This has given me confidence handling large, high-energy breeds as well as the day-to-day needs of cats. What skills do you offer (walking, feeding, playing, etc.)? I offer a full range of pet care services: walking, feeding, playtime/exercise, and overnight boarding. I'm also experienced with administering medications, which I did regularly for my family's German Shepherds, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with medical needs or on a medication schedule. Are you comfortable with large animals and/or animals that shed? Yes, very comfortable. I have direct experience with large breed dogs like German Shepherds, including handling, transport, and medical care, so size isn't a concern for me. Shedding is a non-issue as well.
