Hello—I’m a dependable, thoughtful caregiver with a calm, grounded presence and strong attention to detail. I bring a professional mindset to every home I work in, along with a genuine appreciation for creating environments where people (and pets) feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for. For child care, I have experience with children ages 5–12 and enjoy engaging them in reading, writing, arts and crafts, and both indoor and outdoor play. I also provide homework support, including tutoring in reading, writing, and elementary French. I’m an excellent cook and am happy to prepare nutritious, thoughtfully planned meals. I am particularly attentive to children with neurodiverse needs and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and following established routines. I’m comfortable working within specific structures or care plans to support each child’s comfort, focus, and overall well-being. For senior care, I offer warm, respectful companionship along with practical support such as meal preparation, light organization, and medication reminders. I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful it is for families to have someone they trust to step in, and I take that responsibility seriously, providing both ease for the family and genuine connection for the individual. For pet care, I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and administering medications, including injections and subcutaneous fluids. I’m at ease with large breeds and high-energy animals and have no concerns about shedding. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels; however, I am not a behavioral trainer. For the safety and well-being of both your pet and me, I do expect a baseline of manageable behavior and clear communication around any known triggers or routines. I’m always happy to follow established guidance to ensure a smooth and positive experience. Above all, I am reliable, discreet, and attentive. I understand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home, and I aim to provide not just support but a sense of calm confidence that everything is being handled with care.

My personal experience as a caregiver starts with helping my older sister with my nephew’s care while I was in my 20’s, then raising my own three daughters, who are now decent young ladies. I understand the amount of work required to raise children specially when in nowdays society requires mothers to help support the household, which is why I am interested in lending a helping hand and while enjoying doing what I know the most of, caring for children. However, caregiving for children is not my only area of expertice, I as well have some experience with seniors, since between 2[removed] I had to take care of a family member that required full time care due to inability of taking care of basic needs from brushing teeth, meal preping for specific nutritional needs, maintaining all areas and utensils clean to avoid infections, feeding through feeding tube and some other activities. Because of this, I have completed some hours of training to work as a Senior Care Giver.
