Hi! My name is Grace and I’m currently in college, about to go into my fourth year. I am offering child care and occasional pet care services. I love babysitting, I’ve been doing it since about 15-16 years old. I’ve babysat ranges of newborn-12 years old, and some not the best well behaved children. I have also babysat up to 5 children at one time. I am CPR certified and I have reliable transportation. I have a cat so would be more than comfortable pet sitting cats. I have also pet sat 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions.
Hi my name is Emma, I’m a college student at the University of Mount Union, and I major in Graphic Design. My background with kids is that I am one, an older sister to four wonderful kids who have taught me a lot. Because of them I was able to grow so much as a person. And two I have done volunteer that has involved taking care of children at my grandparents church. I have taken care of not just babies from newborns to teens, but I have also cared for my own and others pets before. I can cook, clean, and stay in task for whatever kind of job I’m doing, whether that is taking care of your sweet babies or playing with your lovable pets.
Hi! I’m Haylee, a 19-year-old nursing student at the University of Mount Union with a passion for working with children and creating a fun, positive, and safe environment. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for families to feel comfortable with their childcare provider. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active, playing tennis, and spending time with family and friends.
Hi! I’m a college student with several years of experience caring for children through babysitting, daycare, and day camp. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I’m also happy to help with things like meal preparation, light housekeeping, pets, and other household tasks. I’m looking forward to meeting families and providing reliable care they can feel comfortable with!
What makes me a good caregiver is having fun and building connections with the one’s I will supervise. I have two dogs and also a baby cousin that I would babysit A-LOT so i would say that i am experienced in caregiving for infants/toddlers, pets, and possibly seniors. I am also a very clean person so the family will not have to worry about coming back home to a mess. I chose this because I feel like I have a connection with babies I just love them, and also pets.
