Hi! My name is Tyrhianna, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience working with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and structured environment while helping with daily routines, homework, transportation, meals, and engaging activities. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and always prioritize a child’s safety, comfort, and happiness while keeping open communication with families.
Hi parents! I’m a 4th grade teacher with over 10 years of childcare experience, and I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — and I bring my classroom experience into every sitting job, whether it’s helping with homework, reading together, or keeping little ones engaged in creative play. Along with childcare, I’m also experienced in household management, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, and running errands. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and reliable, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. Looking forward to meeting your family!
I worked for more than 7 years as a Certified Nurse Assistant and cared for the elderly in their care homes, within their personal homes, and in the hospital and provided light cleaning services. I am a grandmother of 2 toddlers ages 1 and 3 and spend majority of my time with them. I also have 17 years of experience in caring for small to medium sized dogs.
“This is my second time working with Val and she is great!!!”
Hi! My name is Shelby and I have always had a passion for animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work directly with animals. That passion led me to a career as a Zoo Keeper, for two of the nations top zoos. In addition to my years of experience as a zoo keeper, I also spent 3 years as a veterinarian assistant. I am a trained and caring individual that will treat your pets with the same love and attention.

"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."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
