Thanks for visiting my profile! I have been babysitting and providing child care since the age of 12. I am now 43, daughter is 19. I own a pet & house sitting service in the Carson Valley/Tahoe Area called Precious Pets, providing child care in addition. I love to care for children as if they were my own as I now have an empty nest. Children love to have me visit and I seem to quickly become "Aunt Cindy". I do this as my full time work which I consider a joy and not a "job". I hope to help you with your child care needs, looking forward to hearing from you.

I have hired Cynthia to babysit for us on a weekly basis and have been beyond happy with my decision. She is reliable, happy, firendly and very qualified. My 7 month old is happy to see her when she arrives and they play and interact very well together. She goes above and beoynd the duties that I have hired her for and I feel that she genuinely loves what she does. I will also be using Cynthia or my school aged boys and feel that she will do very well with all three children.

We were lucky enough to find Cynthia before a family vacation to Tahoe with our 3-year old son. We had plans for her to watch him a couple of times, but a snowstorm derailed those plans so we only got to have her over once but she was great! She was very helpful even before our trip, offering up any child gear we might need and helping with local information. Austin had a lot of fun with her and she did a great job of calming him down when we left as he typically isn't too thrilled to be left with anyone other than his grandma! We wish we could have utilized her services more on this trip, but we visit every year and will definitely look her up next time!!

Great sitter for 3 dogs. We were visiting Lake Tahoe and needed a sitter for 3 dogs for about 3 - 4 hours. We would hire Cyndi again and will the next time we visit South Lake Tahoe! Thanks Cyndi!!

Cindy sat for our 21 month old daughter on a recent trip to Lake Tahoe. Cindy was great - our daughter took to her immediately and hardly looked up when we left the house. Cindy really put us as ease - she was happy to share her references and credentials to make sure we were comfortable with her. The only downside was that our daughter's bedtime was so soon after we left that she hardly had any time to play with Cindy! We will certainly call her again the next time we are in the area.
