I have no professional experience I’ve only ever taken care of my little siblings, my own daughter and I’ve helped friends babysit over the years i’ve babysat kids from ages newborn-10 years old and I help my mother raise my little siblings the oldest is 10 and the youngest is 1.5 years old. My daughter is 8 months so I have experience with many different kids and I would be a good fit to babysit anyone or anything
Hi my name is Emma, I’m a college student at the University of Mount Union, and I major in Graphic Design. My background with kids is that I am one, an older sister to four wonderful kids who have taught me a lot. Because of them I was able to grow so much as a person. And two I have done volunteer that has involved taking care of children at my grandparents church. 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.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
