"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."

Naszier $13 per hour for 1 child
What makes me a good caregiver is having fun and building connections with the one’s I will supervise. I have two dogs and also a baby cousin that I would babysit A-LOT so i would say that i am experienced in caregiving for infants/toddlers, pets, and possibly seniors. I am also a very clean person so the family will not have to worry about coming back home to a mess. I chose this because I feel like I have a connection with babies I just love them, and also pets.

Mia $14 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Mia and I am a first year student at Kent State University! I am majoring in biology and pursuing a minor in forensic anthropology. I have a high school diploma and graduated with a 4.2 GPA. I offer babysitting, pet sitting (dogs and cats), and housesitting! I can cook and do general cleaning tasks, and I can help with homework for elementary and middle school-aged children. Experience: For pet sitting, I have two cats myself and volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple of months. For babysitting, I have three baby cousins all under the age of 5 that I watched grow up and helped take care of when my aunt and uncle wanted a break. I worked at an amusement park for three years so I am used to talking to children and keeping them occupied.
Christian $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Christian but I also go by Azariah. I am currently studying at KSU, and am looking for a side gig to allow me to still work as I go to school. I am currently offering services for kids, pets, and household. As the oldest of a huge family, I have been helping to take care of kids since I could talk. I have also had professional experience as a baby sitter since the age of 13. I have handled kids with disabilities as well as adults. I have a cat of my own so I am well versed with taking care of animals. I am a very hands on person so I try to help kids with learning as well as school work. I am also a big foodie and love to cook, the more people the better. I do have a driver's license as well so I can run errands and the like. I can bring trusted to clean up any messes whether it be mine or someone else's.
