I’m a compassionate, reliable, and highly attentive caregiver with over 10 years of experience supporting a wide range of individuals—from children and seniors to pets and households. My background includes leading large teams in fast-paced environments, which has sharpened my organizational and multitasking skills—both critical in caregiving roles. For several years, I worked as Head BR-Steward Department Manager for the Alaska Marine Highway, where I managed a crew of 50 and was responsible for the cleanliness, comfort, and safety of passengers, including seniors, families, and children. I handled scheduling, emergency preparedness, conflict resolution, and service delivery—all while maintaining a warm, respectful demeanor. This role taught me to anticipate others' needs and foster trust quickly—key traits in caregiving. Outside of professional work, I’ve provided in-home care and support for elderly family members and have extensive experience with children through coaching and mentoring. I also understand the importance of companionship, emotional support, Read more and patience when working with vulnerable individuals. My experience as a basketball coach helped me develop the ability to motivate, build confidence, and create nurturing spaces for young people. Additionally, I have experience pet sitting for multi-pet families—mainly dogs and cats—ensuring animals are fed, exercised, and cared for according to each pet's unique needs and routines. I understand how vital consistency and affection are in pet care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable managing general household responsibilities such as light housekeeping, errands, and organization. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and maintain strong awareness of safety and hygiene standards. Whether it’s creating a safe, clean, and loving environment for children, providing companionship and assistance to seniors, or ensuring pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away, I bring heart, professionalism, and dedication to every role I take on.

Trust & safety
