Cherrie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cherrie. I currently work as a Clinical Technician in a Pediatric ICU at Cleveland Clinic. I am BLS/CPR certified. I have a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership and I’m currently working towards a nursing degree. I have experience providing care for people of all ages, from infants to seniors. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and easygoing. I’m comfortable with playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, games, and other activities they enjoy.

Marissa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I just moved here from Washington DC. I went to school in Austin, Texas and am originally from Arizona! I'm currently a graduate student at Case Western and looking to provide some support for a family while maintaining a flexible schedule! I have been a nanny since I was in highschool as well as a tutor. I worked in a pediatric clinic for 2 years as a lead medical assistant and laboratory technician. I've volunteered in hospice and a variety of other clinical care settings as doing clinical work is my passion. I plan on continuing in the healthcare field after my graduate studies and would love to find an opportunity that lets me utilize my passions and hobbies for caring and education! I enjoy crafts, puzzles, reading, creative writing, pets, dancing and live art (theatre, music, etc.)! I am also very active and love playing volleyball, practicing yoga and going on hikes! I was a very active and busy child and want to being that same philosophy for life my parents instilled in me into any home looking for structure and engagement, at any age :)

Layla $13 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Layla and I am currently a freshman at Kent State majoring in fashion design. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins quite frequently, and as I got older I started babysitting for family friends and families from my church. Over the years I have really come to love babysitting because getting to know each kid is such a fun and new experience. I’ve always loved kids because they are so naturally loving and full of surprises. Because of this, babysitting can sometimes be a challenge, but I pride myself in staying calm even under pressure. I also have experience in sewing, baking, arts and crafts, and would be able to help with early stages of childhood literacy, reading comprehension, or homework. I am also willing to help with light meal prep and tidying up at the end of the day. Punctuality, safety, and household rules and routines are my top priorities. I can’t wait to hear from you and get to know you and your family!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
