My name is Maria and I have over 25 years of experience caring for children from newborns to school age. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, loving environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am patient, reliable, and very attentive to each child’s needs. I enjoy planning fun activities like reading, outdoor play, and educational games that help children develop and stay engaged. I also value building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with.

I began doing dog sitting for family and friends pups since I was in high school. Now I have two lovely fur babies of my own. I have many years of experience with dogs. I have met many wonderful fur friends by dog sitting. I always treat and take care of all dogs as if they were my own. I truly love to get to know pups!

Hello, my name is Sydney, I am 22 years old and am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a degree in Child Studies and Public Health. I grew up in South Pasadena, and am back home and attending graduate school in the fall for occupational therapy. While I was at Santa Clara, I worked at a daycare/preschool on campus working mainly on the daycare side (8 months-2.5 years old).

To summarize a little about myself. I have a Bachelor's degree in human development from Pacific Oaks College and an AS in Early Childhood Education from Pasadena City College. I have worked extensively in Early childhood education with ages ranging from 2 mo. to 5 years. I pride myself on being keenly aware of the special needs of my children and families in my care. I enjoy developing activities that meet their needs and help manage big emotions. As well, I never mind doing light house duty if needed. I love animals and have a rabbit and 2 large dog. As well, I am a big dog walker in my community and have 3 adult children of my own.
