My name is Jennah! I am very friendly and easygoing. I like to be stern when needed. I enjoy creating schedules for the day, but if there is one in place as well, I am ready to follow it! :) I love working with young children and joining them on exploring their creativity. I love to cook simple meals and incorporating new things for them to try. I can help with all homework up to high school level. I have worked with multiple kids before for several years. I have a car and can perform all household duties/functions if needed! I currently do not have my own cleaning supplies to bring, but I will in a few months. If I am working with pets that require walking, I have worked with large dogs and am good to handle them on walks.
Hi! As someone with almost two years of teaching and caretaking experience, I'm passionate about giving children a safe, fun environment to learn and grow. More about me: - I moved to Chicago from California this year for my job (I am a UX copywriter!) - I love cooking (currently learning a new recipe from my mom on FaceTime each week) - I have always loved working with kids and plan to go back to school for a degree in education (hopefully in the next decade) I would love to chat about how I can best help you! Ask me about any of the following experiences: 6 months: Teacher's Aide to a kindergarten summer camp 1 year: Tutor at after-school center 4 months: Manager at after-school center
Hello! My name is Sabrina and I am a 27 year old woman with a very easy going and kind disposition. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I enjoy taking care of children and pets! I grew up with 5x younger siblings and a dog, and am very familiar with taking care of all age children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and many of the families I babysat for found me very accomplished at caring for their kids, pets, and home! I am very active and love to make activities to do for the kids based on their hobbies. I am very kind, a great listener, and enjoy outdoor and indoor activities. I am happy to follow any guidelines the parents set out. For example, if you do not want your kids to watch TV or have a strict routine for bedtime, I am more than amenable to making it as easy for you as possible. I am not apposed to light house cleaning and always ensure I clean up any messes we make. Patience is key in my world so I always act with that, kindness, and a smile. Many families have trusted me with their kids in the past and we were well received. I can take care of one child or multiple and am comfortable with all age groups. I grew up with lots of kids in my house and noise and commotion do not startle me. I was also an athlete for a large portion of my life and am great with all sports! I have no allergies and comfortable with any pets!
I grew up taking care of my little cousins and dogs! I used to work in a nursing home as a wait staff. I am going into nursing for pediatrics. I now own a little black cat named Jasper. I enjoy doing art, reading, and playing outside with kids!
I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.
“Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.”
