Alex $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Alex! I am a recent graduate of OSU with a psychology degree, and I am now looking to save up for graduate school. I love spending time outdoors in nature or inside watching movies and reading with my cat. I have 5+ years of experience with elementary to middle school aged kids. A lot of my experience comes from my position as latchkey counselor within my school district’s elementary schools, as well as my time babysitting for multiple families in my area. Alongside my experience watching kids, I also have years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats and multiple years of professionally cleaning houses that were being prepared to go on the market. I always bring an upbeat, energetic, and kind attitude towards any work I do. This allows for a warm, welcoming, and positive environment that the kids will absolutely love. I am very big on allowing children to be who they are by encouraging them to be creative and by participating in their activities and games. I’m available for nights any day of the week, with possible availability for some mornings or afternoons. I hope we make a great match and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time! :)

Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, supported by both hands-on experience and academic training. I recently graduated from nursing school and am a Registered Nurse. I will begin working as an emergency department nurse at The Ohio State University in April and completed my capstone preceptorship in the emergency department, where I cared for patients across the lifespan in high-stress, fast-paced situations. I hold certifications in BLS, Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), and Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), all of which support my ability to provide safe, responsive, and compassionate care. In addition to my clinical work, I have experience working with children through my time at Jumpstart, where I supported early childhood education and development in underserved communities. I have also working with adolescents in a psychiatric setting and provided mentorship to adolescents through my work at Brown University’s precollege program. I have past experience working with young children in volunteer settings during high school and college. I’ve also worked with seniors and individuals with mental health needs in long-term care and inpatient psychiatric settings. I’m comfortable supporting people with complex health conditions, behavioral challenges, and developmental needs. I additionally have experience providing household assistance and caring for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure, with strong communication skills and a deep sense of empathy. My background in Medical Anthropology adds to my holistic, culturally sensitive approach to caregiving. I genuinely enjoy building trust with the individuals and families I care for, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and supported.

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.
