Sierra $14 per hour for 1 child
I currently work for a company called the Learning Experience where I get to be a wonderful lead teacher to kids aged 2 to 2 and a half. I've been working with the Learning Experience since March of this year (2026), however I did work with schoolagers before this as well. My job requires me to be up to code with state rules and regulations as well as requiring several certifications. A little bit more about me, I'm a very bubbly outgoing person who wants to provide the best to your children that I can! I am looking to go back to college for my education degree so these jobs here will be my college fund :)
Amy $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello, My name is Amy. I love learning, and walking on trails at preserves to enjoy Ohio’s natural beauty. I love art and music as well, and my friends would describe me as caring, fun, reliable, and responsible. I babysat a lot in middle school. In high school, I volunteered for a couple months every summer at the Museum of Science and Industry’s Summer Science Camp in Tampa, Florida. I went on to receive my Associate of Arts from Florida State University. I have a dog named Faith that I adore. I also have dog sitting experience throughout my life as well as taking care of paraplegics, school-age kids, pets, and seniors.
Samara $18 per hour for 1 child
I’m an experienced babysitter who has cared for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m passionate about encouraging positive behavior, supporting emotional growth, and creating a safe, fun environment where each child feels seen and valued. I treat every child I care for like my own, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching them grow, learn, and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, calming a fussy baby, or building forts and imaginary worlds, I’m all in. I’d really love to be part of your child’s world and help them grow with kindness, care, and encouragement along the way.
