Caregiver & Housekeeping Professional I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for children and the elderly. As a devoted mother of four and a proud grandparent, I bring patience, understanding, and real-life experience to every family I serve. My background includes providing attentive childcare, senior care, and reliable housekeeping services to create safe, clean, and comfortable homes.

Caring for others is more than a job to me—it is a lifelong passion built on trust, kindness, and dedication
Hello, my name is Laurin! I am currently a nurse for Cleveland clinic looking for a part time babysitting job. I worked at a before and after school daycare for 3 years. I also started babysitting when I was 14 and loved every minute of it! I have my own transportation and am willing to go to practices, movies, etc. if requested. I am more than qualified to help with school activities, cleaning house, making any meals, etc. I am willing to negotiate prices and absolutely can meet the family before setting anything up, let me know if anyone has questions!
Hi! My name is Rylee and I am 19 years old and a sophomore nursing student. Caring for others is truly my passion, whether that’s children or animals! I have over 8 years of experience with animals of all types, and I have a dog of my own who I adore. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and small pets, and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When it comes to kids, I have 6+ years of experience and I absolutely love spending time with them and hope to have some of my own one day! I’ve worked as a camp counselor for four consecutive years, supporting and supervising children ages 3 to 8 in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment, but have babysat ages ranging from 0–12 years old! I also have experience working with children who have special needs and always strive to provide them with the patience, understanding, and the support they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, mealtime, or bedtime – I’ve got it covered. Safety is a top priority, and I’m fully certified in: • CPR (BLS Certified) • First Aid • Stop the Bleed • Certified Nursing Assistant (PCNA) through Cleveland Clinic I am also fully vaccinated in all areas including Covid-19, I do not smoke and have my own transportation! I’m dependable, compassionate, and always bring positive energy to every job. I’m also comfortable handling any challenges that come my way with a calm and caring approach. Whether you're looking for someone to watch your pets, your kids, or both- I’d love to help!
I have extensive experience and love working with large families and children with disabilities. I enjoy filling babysitting time with craftwork and enjoying the outdoors, and the kids do too! I am confident that whatever the challenge, I am up to the task, and have been a reliable go-to person for friends, family, and even former teachers for a variety of childcare needs. Since I was just a ten year old girl, I’ve translated my experience with my own anxiety into a comfortable stay for countless anxious pups under my care. Making sure your dog adjusts while away from their parents is my priority. I have spent hundreds of hours volunteering with animals at local rescues and have learned so much about how to provide the best, most loving care to your pet!
