Meet Eileen

- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have over 15 years of sitting experience, as well as 4 years' nannying experience and a decade of pet care experience. I have cared for infants up to middle schoolers, house-sat, tutored, and worked with differently-abled children and adults. In the past, I have been employed as a caregiver for babies at a preschool, and have worked as a martial arts teacher as well. I've done it all! As a hardworking teenager and young adult, I often sought out caregiving jobs to support my life as a student. Since graduating college in 2005 with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater and History, I have worked in a multitude of settings, but have always sought out opportunities to serve as a babysitter, tutor, nanny, or petsitter. As a caregiver, I am energetic, enthusiastic, and always respectful of my employer's preferences as far as food, discipline, and house rules. I love being Read more outside, but am just as content to curl up with a good book. I excel at craft time, homework help, and creating meaningful relationships with those in my care. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!
