"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Amy $20 per hour for 1 child
10+ years of caring and friendly care of elders and animals. My passion is to provide the best possible customer care and support. I can handle any complex situation and will work hard to make my clients happy.
Emma $10 per hour for 1 child
Hi my name is Emma, I’m a college student at the University of Mount Union, and I major in Graphic Design. My background with kids is that I am one, an older sister to four wonderful kids who have taught me a lot. Because of them I was able to grow so much as a person. And two I have done volunteer that has involved taking care of children at my grandparents church. I have taken care of not just babies from newborns to teens, but I have also cared for my own and others pets before. I can cook, clean, and stay in task for whatever kind of job I’m doing, whether that is taking care of your sweet babies or playing with your lovable pets.
Charisma $15 per hour for 1 child
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.
Grace $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Grace and I’m currently in college, about to go into my fourth year. I am offering child care and occasional pet care services. I love babysitting, I’ve been doing it since about 15-16 years old. I’ve babysat ranges of newborn-12 years old, and some not the best well behaved children. I have also babysat up to 5 children at one time. I am CPR certified and I have reliable transportation. I have a cat so would be more than comfortable pet sitting cats. I have also pet sat 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions.
