Hi, I am a graduate from The Ohio State University and am looking to help families out! I am offering child care, senior care or house hold services. I love babysitting and have been babysitting for over 11 years, and children of all age ranges. Children truly bring joy to my life and look forward to babysitting your children!! I also work as a house assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I am also comfortable with senior care. Driving to appointments, cooking, cleaning, or even just being there and playing cards. I love animals, so pets are always a bonus :)

I am a mother and a student. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. I very active and a hard worker. I absolutely love reading, and spending time with my family. I like movie, long walks, and the beach. I have many years of sitting as well as tutoring experience mostly for 1st through 6th grades. I absolutely love all kids. I enjoy teaching, playing and making kids laugh. I believe in the importance of children enjoying their childhood because it's the only one they have.

I have been working with and taking care of animals for years, and pick up watching any critters when it fits in a full time schedule. Very attentive, detail oriented and reliable. Organized and orderly, able to adapt to your system and keep up with the house or farm.

Cynthia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I have a background in psychology/ education and a natural ability to connect with both children and animals. I’m warm, calm, and attentive—and I truly enjoy providing a safe, caring environment. Child Care I care for one child at a time so I can give them my full attention. I enjoy creative and educational play, and I’m experienced with young children, especially through my time with my grandbaby. I’m happy to help with basic routines, light meals, and keeping your child engaged in fun, age-appropriate ways. Pet Care I also offer pet sitting for one dog at a time. My deep experience comes from caring for my own dog for 13 wonderful years. I’m now a grand-dog mom too! I’m happy to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your pet, and I’m comfortable with dogs that shed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, calm, and kind, I’d love to support your family—whether human or furry.
