I have over 20 years of caregiving experience, from newborns to taking care of the elderly, as well as Housekeeping/House Managing. I can also provide pet care from dog walking / boarding/some training and cat (other) sitting. I visit patients in Nursing Homes and Rehab Centers, as I have a Champion Showdog (pictured) that is working on her Therapy Dog Certification. I am CPR trained, and I have a patient care/medical background.

Sheila is a great cat sitter and a great lady. She very clearly loves animals, as you can tell from her bio. She was very conscientious about maintaining a consistent feeding schedule and interacting with my cat. She texted me with an update after every visit.

I will definitely hire her again.

Always on time, always energetic, Sheila has been our full time nanny for 1 year now, and our children and dog love Sheila!
I highly recommend Sheila to care for your children. I have three children 9 month, 2.5 and 5 years old. Sheila is able to care for, entertain and educate all three of the children. All the while, caring for our home, our dog and even making a surprise dinner for us when we arrived home. Sheila is very creative and enjoys making projects with the kids and sparking their imagination. She also appropriately sets boundaries and deals with any inappropriate behavior, instilling respect from our children. Sheila is also very flexible and able to take on additional hours if needed.

Sheila has been working for us full time for over two years now, caring for our three children currently aged 7, 2, and 10 months. Sheila provides very high quality care and is extraordinarily reliable. Our house is kept together, and she makes sure the "little things" are tended to, like restocking the diaper drawer before she leaves. Our children love Sheila. Sheila is also a good communicator, keeping a log daily and ensuring she shares any important information. I can definitely recommend Sheila to anyone looking for high quality, reliable care for their children.

Sheila is great and your pet is definitely in good hands! On top of taking great care of my cat she also provided daily hand written updates and made sure his food dish and area were clean and tidy (which a lot of of cat sitters have not done in the past). You can tell just from taking to her for 5 minutes that she really loves animals and that your pet will be loved when they are in her care.

Shelia helped for a few weeks recently. My children took to her immediately. She was very creative when it came to arts and crafts projects with my 3 1/2 year old. She was very engaging with my 19 mos old twin girls - helping them learn abc's, number, colors and promoting independent play. She was respectful of my rules with the girls and my house was always very tidy and clean.

We had the privelege of Sheila caring for our 3 children (4mos, 4, and 5 years old). She did an excellent job engaging the kids, setting boundaries, and dealing with any inappropriate behavior. She brought some toys of her own to give the kids a change of pace and create some new activities. We arrived home from an evening out to kids tucked safely and soundly in bed and our house in perfect order. She is excellent and I highly recommend her.
