I have always had a deep passion for children of all ages and supporting individuals with special needs. Growing up with my younger sister, who has holoprosencephaly and is blind, deaf, wheelchair-bound, and dependent on a feeding tube, has profoundly shaped my understanding and appreciation for the unique challenges faced by individuals with diverse needs. I currently help my parents with my sister throughout the week when needed. My experience as a nanny for two families further strengthened my ability to provide compassionate and tailored care. I am committed to being a dedicated caregiver and recognize specific needs of each individual to ensure they feel supported and valued. I'm also a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter who would love to care for your furry family members. I have 20 of experience with dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or medication. I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness, comfort, and safety while you're away.
