Hi there! With a bit of extra time on my hands, I’m excited to find new rewarding ways to help out in my community—whether it’s caring for little ones, seniors, or the family pet. As a mom of three, grandmother of three, and a former K-3 teacher (B.S. Ed from Miami University), I bring a wealth of experience and a calm, organized energy to every home. Beyond my background as a YMCA camp director, I am a graduate of the Paws-Ability dog training program and am comfortable caring for everything from high-energy dogs like my Australian Shepherd, Piper, to smaller friends like turtles and birds. I find working with children, the elderly, and pets to be very rewarding. Part of my volunteer experience includes spending time with Veterans in assisted living or memory care. I love hearing stories they share about their life and watching their face light up as they relive the memory. I have learned so much from the wealth of knowledge elderly have. Watching children master tasks they are given because of your guidance is so satisfying. Just being around the pure, genuine, honest, curious, carefree and unfiltered perspective on the world that children have is so refreshing. It motivates me to provide them with the best possible environment to keep that curiosity alive. The unconditional bond that develops as you work with animals is so pure and incredibly rewarding. Animals don’t have hidden agendas, they love you unconditionally. They are loyal and are always so happy to see you. My current work in accessibility has given me a deep appreciation for clear communication and attentive care. I treat every loved one with the same respect and joy I give my own family, and I look forward to helping yours!"
Hi! I’m Tre’ci, I am offering weekend and date night child care! I am a medical assistant with five years experience in pediatrics! I am CPR/first aid certified in all ages. I love being able to help families take care of their littles! I have been babysitting for over 10 years, with experience from newborns to preteens.

Hi! My name is Kerry. I’m 31 years old, a mom of two girls, and I have a dog as well, so caring for both children and pets comes naturally to me. I truly enjoy working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and feel comfortable and safe. I’m also a substitute teacher, which has given me experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and learning needs. I don’t believe in simply “watching” children. I like to keep them engaged, whether that means helping with schoolwork, reading, educational activities, playtime, or working toward age appropriate milestones. I’m dependable, patient, nurturing, attentive, and organized. I understand how important it is for parents to know their children are safe, clean, fed, cared for, and treated with kindness while they’re away. I’m also comfortable with pets and can assist with light household tasks when needed. As a parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and caring environment where both children and parents can feel comfortable.
Hi- My name is McKenna and i’m a future student at the University of Cincinnati. I have experience nannying for two families and experience working at a daycare/preschool caring for children ages 6 months to 6 years old. I am a patient, nurturing, and dependable person who loves helping children learn, grow, and explore new things. My strengths include creating fun, age-appropriate activities, building trusting relationships with children, cooking meals, and keeping the home clean and organized. I am passionate about providing a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged.
