I have over 10 years experience working with both developmentally disabled children and adults. I find it very personally rewarding and I am interested in helping a local family with their special needs child or adult. As a college student, I wrote my senior thesis on political legislation pertaining to the developmentally disabled, as I am very interested in promoting and supporting rights for all citizens. I am comfortable with individuals with behavioral problems, as well as physical disabilities. I would love to get to know you and your family! In addition to my ability to care for humans, I also have experience house sitting and pet sitting! I have worked for the same family for 10 years now, references upon request! I provide pet feeding services as well as take in the mail/newspaper. I am available to visit your home on a daily basis while you're away and/or stay overnight in your home. Each job is tailored to your needs. :-)

    Brooke has been my cat sitter for the past 7 years. She cares for 4 or 5 cats in my home, 24/7 many times throughout the year. She is extremely dependable & very loving to my furry kids. I don't know what we would do without her!!
