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.

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!

I worked for Tucson Unified School District for 3 years as an after school care supervisor. Additionally, I worked for 2 summers as a children’s sports camp counselor for Tucson Country Club. Through these experiences, I met wonderful families who entrusted me with watching their little ones at home. I took care of dozens of pets for families I worked for as well as house sat for extended periods (maximum 3 weeks). I am responsible, diligent, and courteous and would love to help you relax while you’re away!

“Thanks!”

Booked by 1 family in Germantown, TN

I’m well-qualified to take care of a dog because I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely care about animals’ well-being. I understand the daily needs of dogs, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment. I’m also familiar with basic training techniques and can recognize signs of distress or illness, so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or offering affection and stimulation, I’m ready and capable of meeting both the physical and emotional needs of a dog.

“Abbie expertly cares for my cat and dog, giving special attention to their wellbeing. My dog is always well behaved after Abbie's care, as she provides consistency in routine and gives her all the love.”
