Hi! My name is Shelby and I have always had a passion for animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work directly with animals. That passion led me to a career as a Zoo Keeper, for two of the nations top zoos. In addition to my years of experience as a zoo keeper, I also spent 3 years as a veterinarian assistant. I am a trained and caring individual that will treat your pets with the same love and attention.
I have three children of my own who are now teenagers. I worked as an elementary computer lab teacher (Grade Pre-K through 5th grade) for 6 years. I have worked as a weekend caregiver for 8 years, where I did light housekeeping and meal preparation for an elderly couple. I have done pet setting for birds, turtles, cats & small and medium size dogs.
I have raised two children of my own 33 and 26 and presently working on an 10 yrs and 2,years old grandchildren, I’m a widower from an Navy Officer, I have a MA in Teaching and Education and BA in Religion and Philosophy and have babysitting the majority of my neighborhood’s children kids since high School, helping others is my passion wether it be children or adults.
Nurturing the growth and development of children is my true passion. With three years of experience caring for up to three children, I focus on creating a supportive environment for ages 0-11. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, which helps me foster meaningful learning experiences. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure your little ones remain safe. I am a patient, calm, and approachable caregiver who loves engaging kids through outdoor sports, board games, and educational apps. I am happy to assist with carpooling, travel, and creative crafts. Since I am a confident swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision for your children. I prioritize your preferences by following your lead on household rules and communication methods. My goal is to make a positive impact on your family's daily life, and I truly look forward to meeting you and your children.
Hi - My name is Vannessa and I am a retired wife, mother, grandmother and First Lady. I am currently offering household cleaning services. I have been a caretaker for my own family members in the past. I can cook, clean and help with organizing spaces. I prefer not to work with families with pets.
“Vannessa, delivers thorough, detail-oriented work in organizing and decluttering residential spaces. She demonstrates strong judgment in sorting and preparing items for donation, while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and organization. Vannessa also, effectively follows homeowner preferences and ensures tasks are completed efficiently and thoughtfully. I would definitely hire her again.”
