A little about me
I grew up in Indiana and moved to Southwest Florida to study at Florida Gulf Coast University, where I'm heading into my second year. I've been babysitting for years, and I've been the friend everyone hands the dog's leash to for just as long. Kids and animals are genuinely my favorite company.
What families tell me they appreciate most is that I'm present. I'm down on the floor building the block tower or out walking the dog in the rain, not parked on the couch scrolling. I'm calm when things get chaotic, I communicate clearly, and I treat your routines and your rules as the real thing, not suggestions.
Whether you need a steady weekly sitter, a hand on a hectic evening, someone reliable overnight, or a walker your dog gets excited to see, I'd love to become a name your whole household trusts.
TeaganFor your kids
Every age, every part of the routine. Here's what a day (or night) with me looks like.
Comfortable with newborns and toddlers right up through school-age kids and their homework.
Meals and snacks, naps, baths, and bedtimes, kept exactly the way you like them.
Reading, spelling practice, craft projects, and backyard adventures when the sun's out.
My own car and a clean driving record mean school runs, practices, and appointments are covered.
Traveling or need a full night off? Overnight and late-night sitting is something I genuinely enjoy.
The kind of sitter who's actually playing the game, not watching the clock. Your kids get my full attention, every time.
For your pets
I grew up around all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to horses, bearded dragons, and rabbits, and I'm the one everyone hands the leash to. From a quick midday walk to a week of overnights, your pets get the same patience and attention I give the kids.
Rain or shine, a good long walk to burn off the zoomies and bring them home happy and tired.
Feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and real playtime while you're at work or away for the day.
I'll stay over or check in daily so your pets keep their whole routine, right at home.
Not just dogs and cats. I've cared for horses, bearded dragons, rabbits, and plenty in between.
Comfortable with feeding schedules and giving medications exactly the way your vet spelled out.
Cuddles, patience, and someone who genuinely lights up to see them. Your pets are in for a good time.
