Booked by 1 family in Irving, TX

I am a 23 year old college graduate currently working full-time at a Title/Law Firm. Previously, I worked as a tutor at The Confidence Group in Dallas, TX, from February 2023 to May 2024, where I supported 3rd–8th grade students in Dallas ISD through personalized lesson plans, including specialized assistance for students with special needs. From June 2017 to May 2020, I served as a Youth Golf Instructor at The First Tee in El Paso, TX, teaching children golf skills and incorporating the organization’s Core Values, such as Integrity, Sportsmanship, Courtesy, Respect, etc. Eventually I was given the responsibility of helping to plan and lead sessions for different age groups within the program, but mainly focusing on the 3-5 year old and 7-8 year old age groups. In high school, I was in a STEM program that specialized in health care/medical fields which allowed me to work hospital rotations where I gained experience in basic levels of caregiving and crisis management. Additionally, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing support to families and participating in social service efforts. For the past three years, I have babysat for one family, assisting their child with schoolwork, and for the past four years, I have provided pet sitting services—mainly for dogs—for multiple families. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid.

I am a reliable, enthusiastic, disciplined, and honest individual with a successful track record of working with kids of multiple different families through which I developed exceptional child care and needs management expertise. I am well versed in taking care of children between the ages of 5 months to 12 years. Specifically, I am very competent at: - Meal and snacks preparation and bottle-feeding infants - Bathing, dressing, and toilet-training children - Tidying up children's bedroom and play room - Keeping a vigilant eye on the children's activities, preparing them for school, helping them with homework and organizing their leisure activities Above all, I know how to keep the kids safe and amused in different healthy ways. I am also a very experienced pet sitter. I love animals very much and am very caring to the fur babies. I have mostly cared for large/small dogs and various breeds, such as German Shepherd’s, Labradors, an Old English Sheepadoodle, Golden Retrievers, Yorkie’s, and Dachshund’s. I understand your pets are important to you and they are to me as well. I am mindful of the needs of your pets and will treat them as my own.
