A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Angelica! I’m a playful yet structured caregiver who loves working with children of all ages. I believe in creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where kids can thrive.
I started babysitting as a teen and continued through college, and in 2023 I also gained experience in elder care. Caretaking has always been a part of who I am, and I now work full-time as a dog groomer while looking to support families with childcare as well.
I’m CPR and First Aid certified, flexible with family routines, and comfortable handling meals, pets, bedtime, homework help, and skill development. I especially enjoy arts and crafts, cooking, reading, and educational games that spark creativity and learning.
Parents can count on me to be flexible, compassionate, and energetic while keeping structure and safety in mind. Friends and family would describe me as fun and creative — and I aim to bring that same energy into every home I work in.
