I am a retired school administrative assistant. Over many years, I have worked with children of all ages in the school system and caring for them in my home childcare business. I keep the children busy with hands-on learning, singing, dancing, age-appropriate books, DVD's and videos along with arts and crafts. I have also worked many years as a care-giver/CNA in private homes and in nursing home facilities. I am First Aid/CPR certified for infants, children and adults. Also, being a former residential cleaning business owner, I have many years of experience in cleaning vacant and occupied properties and doing trash-outs.

Hi, my name is Daniela, a current student at the University of Memphis. I offer household cleaning services along with babysitting or pet care needed! I have worked in household cleaning since I was 15 along with my mom, who owns her own cleaning company. We offer services from regular cleans to deep cleans. Apart from cleaning, I have had some babysitting and pet care jobs. Within them I have cleaned, cooked, ran errands. For child care I have done tutoring and crafts, and love getting to know the kids! For pet care, I do all essentials and love spending time and playing games!

Hey ! I’m Sunshine and I am 19 years old. I currently work at an aftercare/preschool center, but I have been babysitting for years now. I love working with kids and typically work better with older age groups! I am also open to pet sitting, dogs or cats, and house sitting! I have done pet sitting and house sitting off and on for the past couple years as well :) I also did first aid and CPR training classes a couple years ago! I wanted to add to be more clear with my schedule; I am open any weekend, but I am only available past 6pm on weekdays.
“I booked with Sunshine for drop-in pet sitter services while I was out of town. She was very friendly, courteous and easy to work with! She was absolutely wonderful with my pets - a dog and cats - and took great care of them. I would highly recommend Sunshine and will book with her again!”
