Hi, my name is Marriah. I am currently a student at Sinclair College, working towards my nursing degree. I attend school every Monday and Wednesday. I have experience working with multiple families, mostly those with children who have special needs. I am a very calm and patient person. I grew up with eight siblings, including two-year-old twins. I consider myself a mature and bright spirit. I moved out at 17 and work full-time while attending school. I believe I am a very trustworthy person. I offer services such as cleaning, pet care, cooking, babysitting, or even all of these at the same time.

Hi My name is Lexie and I’m currently studying psychology because I hope to work with children in the future. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and basic household help. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and love creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment. I’ve helped with homework, bedtime routines, meals, play activities, and keeping kids engaged in safe, positive ways. I also have experience caring for seniors, including helping with daily tasks, companionship, light cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported. I’m great with pets as well and can handle feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m dependable, patient, and bring a warm, understanding personality to every home I step into.
