Cherrie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cherrie. I currently work as a Clinical Technician in a Pediatric ICU at Cleveland Clinic. I am BLS/CPR certified. I have a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership and I’m currently working towards a nursing degree. I have experience providing care for people of all ages, from infants to seniors. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and easygoing. I’m comfortable with playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, games, and other activities they enjoy. I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting, date nights, and flexible care that I can work around my hospital schedule. I’d love to connect with families looking for a sitter they can trust and call again!

Marissa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I just moved here from Washington DC. I went to school in Austin, Texas and am originally from Arizona! I'm currently a graduate student at Case Western and looking to provide some support for a family while maintaining a flexible schedule! I have been a nanny since I was in highschool as well as a tutor. I worked in a pediatric clinic for 2 years as a lead medical assistant and laboratory technician. I've volunteered in hospice and a variety of other clinical care settings as doing clinical work is my passion. I plan on continuing in the healthcare field after my graduate studies and would love to find an opportunity that lets me utilize my passions and hobbies for caring and education! I enjoy crafts, puzzles, reading, creative writing, pets, dancing and live art (theatre, music, etc.)! I am also very active and love playing volleyball, practicing yoga and going on hikes! I was a very active and busy child and want to being that same philosophy for life my parents instilled in me into any home looking for structure and engagement, at any age :)

My name is Analisa and I have about 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I have tutored many school age children as well as taken care of senior citizens. I take pride in the care that I’m able to give. I am also a pharmacy technician and understand how to care for people on a lower medical level.

Kristina $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kristina and I am a current sophomore at John Carroll University studying Primary Education with a concentration in Intervention Specialist. I have reliable transportation and am in the process of becoming adult and pediatric CPR certified. I’m also happy to help with pets while caring for children. I’m comfortable with feeding, playing with, and letting pets outside, as well as taking dogs for walks if needed. I’m happy to discuss your pets and their individual routines and needs. I have been working with a PreK-8th grade theater program for over five years. This past summer I have also had the opportunity to be an instructor for a PreK-4th grade theater summer camp. I have also been involved in volunteering with 4th and 6th graders in more academic settings. Throughout these experiences, I have been able to help with homework, facilitate educational activities, provide fun entertainment to children, and get to know each child's specific needs. Overall, I’m looking forward to meeting families and becoming someone you can trust to provide your children with safe, caring, and fun experiences while you’re away!
