Carlie Dayton
$15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Carlie and I’m currently taking college courses at Sinclair community college toward my associates degree to eventually transfer to the university of Dayton to pursue in a pre-medicine, biology path. I desire to become a pediatrician one day. With a strong background in both cleaning and childcare, I bring a dedicated and reliable approach to maintaining clean, safe, and nurturing environments. Starting at a very young age, I developed cleaning and babysitting skills as I constantly helped my mother with cleaning hotel rooms and care for my younger siblings. My experience includes thorough cleaning practices that ensure hygienic spaces, paired with compassionate and attentive care for children, supporting their well-being and development. I have a strong passion for children and love to do anything I can to put a smile on one’s face. I am skilled at managing multiple tasks efficiently, demonstrating patience, responsibility, and excellent communication to meet the needs of families and households effectively. I would love the chance to come contribute to your family!!
