I'd love to be able to take care of your children and or pets within the child's home environment to provide supervision and nurture creativity and imagination in a setting they're familiar with. From working at the Schottland YMCA daycare center for the past 4 years and counting, I'm passionate about children and helping them reach their full potential. I truly love their authenticity and company evident by playing with them on their level of make-believe. Logistically, I have a car and am currently just looking for weekend sitting as I'm in school this semester at U of R.

Hi there! I’m someone who absolutely loves kids and animals and truly enjoys bringing care, love, and fun into their lives. I believe in making every moment positive—whether that’s through playtime, learning, or just offering comfort and attention when it’s needed most. I’m very patient, understanding, and always make sure both kids and pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a great listener, dependable, and full of positive energy, which helps me connect easily with children and animals of all personalities. I always put their best interests first and treat them with the same love and respect I’d want someone to show my own. Whether it’s keeping little ones entertained or making sure furry friends feel loved and secure, I take pride in giving my all and creating lasting, happy memories.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with kids and being part of their growth and everyday moments. I’ve had a few years of childcare experience with children of different ages, where I’ve helped with daily routines, provided meals, and kept things organized around the house. I’m patient, responsible, and creative when it comes to keeping kids engaged whether that’s through fun activities, learning games, or simply spending quality time with them. I also have basic first aid knowledge and strong communication skills, which help me create a safe and positive environment for every child I care for.

Hello! My name is Michele, and I am retired. Thank you in advance for looking at my profile! Children and dogs are my passions. I have an amazing 37-year-old daughter who has an Australian Shepherd that I’ve dog sat for 7 years. Prior to that, I dog sat her Pit Bull/Doberman Pincher for 12 years. In addition, I have an intelligent and athletic 29-year-old son. My children represent to me all that is good in the world and are my two true loves. They have taught me a lot about myself and life. I am a better person because of them and admire them so. If you were to ask my friends and family what characteristics I possess, I think that they would tell you traits like: friendly, outgoing, sociable, genuine, sincere, honest, reliable, responsible, trustworthy, caring, kind, humble, generous, compassionate, and empathetic. I also try to make a positive difference in someone's life whenever possible. Some of the activities I love doing with children are reading to/with them, playing pretend, playing with their toys inside and/or outside, doing puzzles, going for walks, coloring/painting, writing/telling stories together, etc. I am available Tuesdays and Thursdays starting noon (preferably) until 5:00 p.m. (all hours are flexible). Thank you for your time and interest. Hope to hear from you soon. Take special care! Best wishes, Michele
