Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and a recent grad building a career as a marriage and family therapist. While I grow my practice, I'd love to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy: caring for and working alongside dogs. I bring 10+ years of professional caregiving as a nanny, so reliability, patience, and communication come naturally. My companion is Zara, my 10-year-old Border Collie and service dog, the sweetest soul, who's joined me everywhere from nanny jobs to the therapy room. Despite her age, she has the energy of a much younger dog: happiest on a long walk or chasing a ball. She keeps me right at home with high-energy pups and comfortable reading canine body language. I'm looking to walk and care for non-reactive dogs, and I'm happy to help with basic behavioral training, something I did for a couple of years and loved. Whether your pup needs a daily walk or gentle guidance, I'd be honored to help!
Jayne was a wonderful nanny for our three kids. She is kind, reliable, independent, and loved getting to know our kids. She was especially skilled at navigating sibling conflicts and challenging behaviors with patience, fairness, and warmth. She handled driving, meal planning, shopping, and cooking independently and loved creating special experiences for the kids. She became a trusted part of our family while respecting boundaries. Our kids still love her, and we would happily recommend her!
