I am CPR certified, and have a clean background check, and driving record. My references are listed. I have a sweet little shi-poo dog, and a cat, and can come to your house when you go on vacation, and feed and walk the animals, water the plants, take in the mail.

Risa was so sweet to my 18 month old boy. He adored her direct attention and focus. She was always very careful with him and concerned about his safety. She took him on walks around the neighborhood, helped him learn new words, played inside and outside, read books, and just kept him busy so I could prepare for a cross country move. She was a lifesaver to me because I needed uninterrupted baby-free work time. Risa was very flexible with my schedule and needs, and even watched my older two children a bit once or twice. All three at once would have been a stretch for her I think, but she was a perfect fit for my youngest. If you're looking for an attentive and caring babysitter or caregiver, call Risa!
