UPDATED: 01/05/2021 -- CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING REQUESTS Hello Potential Families! My name is Devon C. I’m 24 years old and providing a safe babysitting experience for your children is what I’m made for. My brief description would be that I’m a fun-loving babysitter. I simply enjoy spending time with children. I pride myself on being able to play and act goofy with kids, yet still have them listen and respect me. For the last 6 years I have been pursing degrees in both Child Development and Cross-Categorical Special Education. I am finishing up my last semester at Missouri State University, and currently student teaching at Coronado High School! I am a responsible babysitter with experience caring for children during weekends, evenings, summer, and overnight dates. I am skilled in creating a fun, engaging, and educational environment, while demonstrating a priority for children’s safety and well-being. Over the course of the Read more last 5 years I have worked in a pre-school setting, after-school care programs, and summer camp programs. I have worked with children of all ages, both atypical and typical developing. Keeping the child’s well-being is something I take very seriously. I am a healthy balance of an easy going/patient attitude, and assertive when needed. I understand the importance of my role, and I’m willing to take on that responsibility. My references are by request. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.

I can not speak highly enough of the care Devon gave to our cats over this past Christmas holiday. After a brief meeting, she stopped by to introduce herself to our two cats and get the run-down of their routine. She asked excellent questions and ensured she had all the proper information. Very professional. While we were away, she dealt with everything from key issues to resetting our automatic feeder. Devon was a lifesaver! I wholeheartedly would give her my recommendation to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their furry family.

I went out of state to visit my family over the holidays. I was really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats (who can be needy.) I hired Devon to stay at my house for 6 days and take care of them. When I came home, my house was clean, my kitties were super happy and she even changed their sweaters! (Two are hairless.) I highly recommend Devon as a pet sitter.

Devon was my cat sitter for 8 days while I was in Hawaii. She did a wonderful job feeding, watering and interacting with my 2 cats. She even changed the litter genie. We were so impressed with Devon that we will now be using her for babysitting as well for our 11 year old daughter.

Devon stayed in our house for 5 nights. She came by proactively to meet our 17 year old dog, she asked excellent questions, she was very mature, sent pictures while we were away, asked great questions while we were away, and just did a fantastic job overall. I would highly recommend her, and I rarely give my highest recommendation. We look forward to working with Devon again.

Devon was very efficient in taking care of my kittens. She was timely in responding to my texts daily and she sent me photos upon request. I fully trusted her to ensure that my pets would be safe and well fed. I would absolutely hire her again.

Devon is great with our 2 boys! She is responsive and on time, and our boys love that she plays soccer and basketball with them. We're always happy when she's available to come.

Devon took care of my cats over a two-and-a-half-week period. She was caring, responsive, sensitive to my cats' needs, and much more flexible than she had to be. She went above and beyond, and I don't know how she could have done any better. I unreservedly recommend Devon.
