About Sheila

Experience: 3 yrs

I'd describe my personality as thoughtful, organized, and creative! I started working with kids when I was in high school as a summer camp counselor. Today, I exercise my Master's degree in Arts Administration to direct a local arts immersion summer camp! I also do programming for a cultural arts center for ages 1-3 and 5+ that involve visual art, drama, and various sensory crafts. I am passionate about creating analog means for kids to learn and play! In my spare time, I like to paint (painting was my undergraduate degree!) and write letters! I've got a number of pen pals that I write to, and sometimes I make my own stickers to send them.

Sheila was an absolute delight to have around! She is so kind, sweet, and non judgmental, which made her wonderful company. Beyond being a pleasure to talk to, she was incredibly helpful with hands on pet care. She assisted with trimming my kittens nails, bathing my kitten, and took care of the litter box too. I would gladly rehire her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and wonderful pet helper/sitter!
