Hi! My name is Ryann (they/them) and I recently graduated from SFSU with a Bachelors Degree in Women and Gender Studies with a minor in LGBTQ+ studies. I'm going back to school in the fall to start my Masters Program in Sexuality Studies. I am flexible, social, playful, a strong communicator, and I love working with kids, animals, and elderly folks. Throughout my life, I have babysat for many families with children of various ages, typically multiple children at the same time. My responsibilities included cooking and prepping food, helping with homework, cleaning, arts and crafts, and transportation to and from school. I frequently care for my friends' and neighbors' pets; dog walking, feeding the animals, refilling water bowls, overnight cat sitting, and offering various forms of enrichment. I am passionate about animals and providing the best quality of life for them. I have been volunteering at Openhouse, the LGBTQ+ senior center, since October every week and it has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills around senior care. I have assisted disabled folks with everyday tasks, ranging from going to the grocery store to the emergency vet. I am patient, able bodied, accommodating, and quick to help out.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
