Hello!! My name is Jackie; I’m a recent Marietta College graduate earning my BA in strategic communications!! I am offering childcare, senior care, & household services! I’ve been working professionally in childcare the last two years with a nonprofit educational foundation working with children ages 3+. I am CPR certified & have had multiple online state certified trainings. I also have worked privately for families with up to 4 children youngest being 3 mo since I was 15! My responsibilities have included driving to/from daycare, crafts, homework, enrichment activities, & more! While I have more experience in childcare I am comfortable working with seniors as well! I spent time in college volunteering with the local senior center preparing meals, assisting with activities, and helping with transportation duties! I am comfortable with cooking, driving, & other tasks for any age! (I’m also great Euchre partner and a big Disney fan lol!!!) Love all animals especially cats & dogs!

Montserrat Dublin
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Monse, and I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, play, and grow. I used to be an Au Pair and I took care of kids of different ages (from toddlers to school-age children) I also worked in a kids’ party room, where I organized games and activities, and have done occasional babysitting for several families. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who loves creating a fun and safe environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing outdoors, or doing arts and crafts, I always do my best to make every moment positive and engaging. I’d love to bring my experience, energy, and warmth to your family! I’m a big animal lover and have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’m always open to discussing other sizes too! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Let’s connect!!
