Brynn_Kathryn $16 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved kids, the imagination, the creativity, makes me feel young again! I grew up watching my little cousins since I was 12 so I’ve got experience with girls and boys. I have had no less than 4 pets growing up so I have lots of experience with animals, as well! I currently have a miniature dachshund, we got her after my boxer died so I do well with little to big dogs and I grew up with lots of cats, and I’ve watched birds before too!

Ashley $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley, I’m going into my junior year of college next semester, and I’m 20 years old. I’m looking to babysit/nanny/dog sit this summer! I dog sat and occasionally baby sat for a family my first year of college but I have never formally had a job as a babysitter- however I’ve had jobs and done volunteering that have dealt with kids. I worked in a uniform clothing store last year. The clothing store had uniforms for many private schools and I would help children pick out their uniforms. I volunteered for 6 years every summer for vacation bible school and was in charge of a group of kids each week. I can drive kids (I have a car), am very good at arts and crafts, can tutor, and I’m athletic so I like outdoor activities. I am very patient, caring, kind, respectful, and easy to work with. I have a lot of free time this summer and would love to help babysit/nanny children!

Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

Provided childcare for families with children ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Worked as a classroom assistant at my synagogue for two years, assisting with children ages 7–8, collaborating with the teacher to help teach the Hebrew language and about Jewish culture. Served as a camp counselor for two years, supervising children ages 6–8 and ensuring their safety and well-being during both indoor and outdoor activities. Worked with children ages 2–4 in my high school preschool program, helping lead educational and developmental learning activities. Volunteered at Camp Jenny - an organization that gives children from an impoverished community an overnight summer camp experience that includes a variety of activities, sports and team-building exercises. At Camp Jenny, I was responsible for overnight care and supervision of children ages 7–8 and assisted with daily camp activities and routines. I would describe myself as a very loyal, flexible and responsible person who’s easygoing and enjoys creating a comfortable, positive environment. I like doing simple, fun things like game nights or movies nights in, and I’m always open to learning new things and trying new experiences. I am dependable, adaptable, and I try to bring calm and friendly energy wherever I am!
