Hello! My name is Skylar I’m currently working on my teaching career I’m offering child care and house sitting I have always loved working with kids being a teacher has shown me a lot about children having a wide imagination and dreams and I want to help them achieve those goals! I can also work as a home assistant cook and clean. I am allergic to dogs but still love them!
Hi I'm Sonja, I'm a full time college student majoring in human services. I have 3 more years until I graduate with my bachelors degree! I grew up around kids my entire life so I was always the one parents would ask to watch them. I also had dogs growing up so I'm very use to pets, I also have cat of my own now. I love being able to help make kids happy and be able to see a smile on there face at all times. Just being around kids makes so happy! Im very compassionate and sweet to anyone I meet and I love being a big help!
Hi my name is A’Layah. I am 19 years old and plan to go to college for Bachelor Science In Nursing (BSN). My High school nursing program at Washington High school in Massillon gave me experiences, and I am more super committed to patient care. During the clinicals part, I learned and handled how to help residents and help residents with their needs such as ADLS, providing care, and supporting residents. I am certified to stop the bleeding, and also received my certified nursing assistant (CNA) license in the year of 2025 state of Ohio. I also have a certificate of CPR and first aid and earned these certifications in the year of 2024. I have babysit for 8 years and love kids, so I am confident and prepared to bring my focus and liveliness to help out parents with there kids and making sure that they are satisfied with their needs.
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!
Hola! I enjoy helping others and love working with the littles, after all they are our future! I have my CDA (child development associate) as well as CPR First Aid, and other certifications needed to work in the professional childcare setting. I taught early childhood for 8 years before obtaining a science degree. I enjoy learning about other cultures and their languages; fun fact I know 6 languages. I have found being able to teach younger children different languages/cultures to be both beneficial and fun! Also, I have other skills I can share with your young ones such as tutoring needs or homework help, dancing, safe cooking skills modified to the age, and perhaps more. I would love to be able to support you in helping your child(ren) grow into their best selves! If you need I can help around the house with cleaning or even errands! As much as I adore animals from afar, I am pretty allergic to dander from dogs and cats when around them too long. :-( I am willing to help families with cats/dogs with one time jobs for a couple hours.
