Hello! I’ve been a caregiver, by nature, my entire life. From babysitting as an adolescent… to caring for grandparents and aging parents as an adult… whenever I’ve seen someone in need, it’s been my first inclination to help. I first began housesitting and pet sitting in 2006, working for a family who lived in Belle Meade. I cared for their home, two dogs, cat and beautiful gardens whenever they traveled, and worked for them for 10 years. In 2015, I partnered with Care.com to work as a caregiver. I drove and sat with seniors and served as nanny, household assistant, and pet sitter for four families with children ranging from newborn to 13. Ten years later, I continue to work on call for the busy parents of two young girls with a menagerie of pets! I started with them through Care.com when their youngest was a newborn. This summer I Read more worked as nanny/household assistant for two neighboring Franklin families. There, I’ve had the delight of entertaining four toddlers, a dachshund and a golden doodle! I still assist them on date nights. I’d love to take care of your kids and pets and assist you in keeping your busy household running smoothly! Just think of me as helping hands, an extra car, and a source of love and support! How may I help?
