Find a last-minute babysitter in Independence, OH

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 :)

Hi! I'd be happy to be your occasional date-night sitter! I've been babysitting for 14 yrs, and I'm very friendly, fun, trustworthy, and dependable. Prior to babysitting I was a flight attendant for 28 yrs, and each yr I had 2 days of emergency requalification, including CPR/First Aid. I enjoy playing with kids indoors and out, helping them to learn, and reading to them. I've been the 1st-time non-family sitter for most of the families I've worked for, and children feel comfortable with me really quickly. I work on call, weekday and weekend evenings from 5 pm - 2 am, 20/hr for one child and $25/hr for two children, with a 4 hr min. I take cash or check only. Short notice jobs are welcome; as long as I haven't already made plans I may be available within 3-4 hrs. I have twenty-eight 5-star reviews from two other babysitting sites, as well as a great written reference from parents whose son I took care of from 1 - 4.5 yrs-old before they moved to Europe, and I still work for them every Summer when they return to this area; I'd be happy to send you those reviews and reference. Thanks so much for reading my profile!

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.
