Hi my name is A’Layah. I am 19 years old and plan to go to college for Bachelor Science In Nursing (BSN).

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.

Hi! I'm Tessa and I am entering my second year studying education at Walsh University! I've been babysitting for about six years, and during that time I've had the opportunity to care for children of different ages. I really enjoy spending time with kids and doing my best to make sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun while they're with me. Babysitting has taught me to be patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always try to treat every family with the same care and respect that I would want for my own. I've also had a dog for most of my life, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets and understand the responsibility that comes with it. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to help however I can! I'm also more than willing to help out with light household tasks if needed! Overall, I try to be someone families can trust by being reliable, caring, and always willing to learn. I know every family is different, and I do my best to adapt to their routines and rules and provide the best care I can.
