I am a caregiver by nature. I find myself the most fulfilled when I am caring for children, animals and/or seniors, I love being a parent. My 3 children are now young adults. I've recently spent a lot of time with and babysitting for my 7 grandchildren who range in age from 1 to 12 years old. I was the primary caregiver for my granddaughter since birth until recently when she turned 5. I also served in the infant nursery at our church for several years (newborn-2 years). I was born in Colorado and enjoy being outside whenever possible, whether walking, hiking or just spending time in the garden, I would love the opportunity to care for your child. Rest assured that they will be well cared for and that I will always respect your preferences for how you would like the care to be provided.

Vanessa is personable to both humans and cats! She did a great job with my [feline] boys, and I will definitely contact her again for future help.

Vanessa took care of my cat who needs sub-cutaneous fluids while I was on vacation. She is very reliable, was able to administer additional medication, and get my cat, who tends to be finicky, to eat a little extra when she stopped by. Vanessa is very responsive to messages and dependable, and my cat was happy and healthy when I returned. Thank you!
