Hi! I’m Valerie, and I provide reliable childcare and pet care. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I currently work in an after-school program, where I help create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. I am CPR and first aid certified and have a Mandated Reporter certification, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I also have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Having grown up around pets and farm animals, I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and many other animals with patience and compassion. I’m organized, dependable, and patient, and I love keeping children engaged with arts and crafts, outdoor play, games, and other fun activities. I enjoy spending time in nature and creating a positive, caring environment where children and pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys helping others. I’m dependable, organized, and attentive to people’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for children and seniors, helping with daily activities, preparing simple meals, and keeping the home clean and organized. I’m respectful, trustworthy, and always focused on creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment.

Hi! I’m Jennifer, a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver with 4 years of hands-on experience supporting families through childcare, pet care, and household services. After my journey in the U.S. Navy I began my journey as a assistant teacher and quickly expanded into full-family support roles, working with families who needed help with everything from daily childcare to keeping the home running smoothly and caring for their beloved pets. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children from infants through elementary school age, as well as dogs, cats, and the occasional small animal. I genuinely love what I do — creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids while giving parents peace of mind. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m experienced with a wide range of household tasks including thorough cleaning, meal preparation, laundry, running errands, and light organization. I’m comfortable bringing my own supplies when requested and always take pride in leaving spaces fresh and tidy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and am known for being punctual, proactive, and genuinely caring. My goal is always to become a trusted extension of the family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs and how I can help!
