Alice $15 per hour for 1 child
I have experience helping at my mom’s daycare caring for children from infants to 10 years old. I’m especially comfortable with toddlers and older children. I also regularly care for my 3-year-old baby brother, which has helped me become patient, responsible, and attentive. I enjoy working with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
Sara $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Sara and I am currently a student at Kent State University for my bachelors in nursing. I am offering housesitting, cleaning, running errands, and caring/watching pets and children. I personally enjoy babysitting because I love kids or knowing that I can care for them and it is something rewarding for me. I have been watching over my families and friends kids since I was 13. I have most experience between the ages 3-10. This includes babysitting, overnights, or driving them to school and practices when needed. I also offer pet sitting services. I grew up always having at least 3 pets or watching others pets including dogs, fish, cats, bunnies, and ferrets. Thank you!
