Hi my name is Emma, I’m a college student at the University of Mount Union, and I major in Graphic Design.

I have taken care of not just babies from newborns to teens, but I have also cared for my own and others pets before. I can cook, clean, and stay in task for whatever kind of job I’m doing, whether that is taking care of your sweet babies or playing with your lovable pets.

Mia $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mia and I am a first year student at Kent State University! I am majoring in biology and pursuing a minor in forensic anthropology. I have a high school diploma and graduated with a 4.2 GPA. I offer babysitting, pet sitting (dogs and cats), and housesitting! I can cook and do general cleaning tasks, and I can help with homework for elementary and middle school-aged children. Experience: For pet sitting, I have two cats myself and volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple of months. For babysitting, I have three baby cousins all under the age of 5 that I watched grow up and helped take care of when my aunt and uncle wanted a break. I worked at an amusement park for three years so I am used to talking to children and keeping them occupied.
