Grace $15 per hour for 1 child

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.

Naszier $13 per hour for 1 child

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.
