I worked at a daycare with age 7 month to a year and half, for a few months just while i was in between jobs and school. I LOVED it. wish I could’ve stayed, just did not pay enough. I am not in school, I do drive, and I honestly love to clean while the kids are sleep. so if housework/errands are needed don’t be afraid to ask :) I can cook and semi tutor ( excluding math, my worst subject ) but can always give it a try! I love going outside, doing actives for the season, and cooking
Hi! My name is Goundo, and I’m offering child care and household support. As the oldest sibling in my family, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, helping with homework, preparing meals, and following daily routines. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment. I’m reliable, communicative, and always respectful of each family’s needs and expectations.
Hi, My name is Jayonna. I am 21 years old. I am a Sophomore in College at Mount St. Joseph University. I am majoring in Social Work. I've been watching my younger siblings since they were born and I started babysitting for kids in my neighborhood. I have also helped out my god mom in her daycare. As well as working in a couple of Daycares. I love kids of all ages. I enjoy seeing them hit their milestones and overall watching them grow. I love to go out and do activities with them. If it’s nice outside, I like to take the kids out. However, if not we can come up with things to do inside. I love doing arts and craft. In my free time, I love hanging out with my family and friends, bowling , cooking and skating just to name a few.
Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a 24-year-old dependable, compassionate, and energetic caregiver with over 12 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old and have had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to older children. I also have experience caring for a child with autism, which has strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I genuinely love working with children and strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy engaging kids through creative play, outdoor activities, reading, arts and crafts, educational games, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families through kindness, consistency, and open communication. In addition to childcare, I have three years of experience dog sitting for my sister, ensuring her pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while she was away. I also have experience house sitting for a three-week period, where I responsibly maintained the home, cared for the property, and handled daily tasks. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help care for them as part of your family’s routine. I’m highly organized, responsible, and dependable. I can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, maintaining daily routines, diaper changes, potty training support, bedtime routines, homework help, and transportation when needed. I have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, making it easy to assist with school drop-offs and pick-ups, appointments, extracurricular activities, or outings. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, nurturing, and dependable. I treat every child with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own family. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in a safe, caring, and supportive environment. Highlights * Over 12 years of babysitting experience * Experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children * Experience caring for a child with autism * Three years of dog-sitting experience * Three weeks of house-sitting experience * Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation * Comfortable caring for pets * Patient, compassi
