Hello, My name is Amy. I love learning, and walking on trails at preserves to enjoy Ohio’s natural beauty. I love art and music as well, and my friends would describe me as caring, fun, reliable, and responsible. I babysat a lot in middle school. In high school, I volunteered for a couple months every summer at the Museum of Science and Industry’s Summer Science Camp in Tampa, Florida. I went on to receive my Associate of Arts from Florida State University. I have a dog named Faith that I adore. I also have dog sitting experience throughout my life as well as taking care of paraplegics, school-age kids, pets, and seniors.
Hola my name is Kianna or the little ones can call me Kiki. I helped my mother with three kids of different ages for almost 14 years. From bottle feeding to changing diapers to baths to driving them to school.
Hiiiiii! My name is Simeion! I have an experience in childcare and animal careand I am passionate about providing high-quality care and support in my community!! I offer a range of services including child care, pet care, and household assistance. I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’ve been babysitting since i was 14! I’ve volunteered at my church with childcare. I enjoy engaging children in activities such as arts and crafts, driving to and from school/ running errands, tutoring/help with homework, and helping with practices and games! I also can cook and can make meals for children. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and small animals. I am comfortable handling large dogs and am experienced with pets that shed. My pet care services include walking, feeding, playing, and providing companionship. I ensure pets receive the attention and loving they need!!
Hello, I’m Christel, I am wife of 24 years, and a loving mother of my four children. I have 19 years of experience of being a mother. I have many years of experience of babysitting as well. I also volunteer at my church with the youth group, ages, 12-18. Currently I babysit for my friend Valarie her youngest son, he is 3 years old. I also often watch my niece , who is also 3 years old. I love being active and eating healthy. I was also in the Dental field for 18 years. I am CPR trained. I love kiddos and love spending quality time with them.
I currently work for a company called the Learning Experience where I get to be a wonderful lead teacher to kids aged 2 to 2 and a half. I've been working with the Learning Experience since March of this year (2026), however I did work with schoolagers before this as well. My job requires me to be up to code with state rules and regulations as well as requiring several certifications. A little bit more about me, I'm a very bubbly outgoing person who wants to provide the best to your children that I can! I am looking to go back to college for my education degree so these jobs here will be my college fund :)
