Hi! My name is Kristina and I am a current sophomore at John Carroll University studying Primary Education with a concentration in Intervention Specialist. I have reliable transportation and am in the process of becoming adult and pediatric CPR certified. I’m also happy to help with pets while caring for children. I’m comfortable with feeding, playing with, and letting pets outside, as well as taking dogs for walks if needed. I’m happy to discuss your pets and their individual routines and needs. I have been working with a PreK-8th grade theater program for over five years. This past summer I have also had the opportunity to be an instructor for a PreK-4th grade theater summer camp. I have also been involved in volunteering with 4th and 6th graders in more academic settings. Throughout these experiences, I have been able to help with homework, facilitate educational activities, provide fun entertainment to children, and get to know each child's specific needs. Overall, I’m looking forward to meeting families and becoming someone you can trust to provide your children with safe, caring, and fun experiences while you’re away!
Hello, My name is Tinika, a mother of 4 grown kids. I have 2 grandchildren ages 4 and 1 yrs old. I have another grandchild on the way. I have many years of infant and child care; both in house and professionally. I have worked in administration within a school district for over 12 yrs. I have worked in the elementary and high school. I am first aid certified, hold a BA from Cleveland state, and a certification in mindfulness. Over the years I have ran errands for home bound seniors. I have also done some light housework as needed. I am originally from Seattle, WA and enjoy visiting home in the summers. I am an author of 3 books and enjoy reading in my free time. I love the water and will find new beaches and waterfalls to enjoy whenever I can.
Hello, my name is Laurin! I am currently a nurse for Cleveland clinic looking for a part time babysitting job. I worked at a before and after school daycare for 3 years. I also started babysitting when I was 14 and loved every minute of it! I have my own transportation and am willing to go to practices, movies, etc. if requested. I am more than qualified to help with school activities, cleaning house, making any meals, etc. I am willing to negotiate prices and absolutely can meet the family before setting anything up, let me know if anyone has questions!
Hi! My name is Rylee and I am 19 years old and a sophomore nursing student. Caring for others is truly my passion, whether that’s children or animals! I have over 8 years of experience with animals of all types, and I have a dog of my own who I adore. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and small pets, and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When it comes to kids, I have 6+ years of experience and I absolutely love spending time with them and hope to have some of my own one day! I’ve worked as a camp counselor for four consecutive years, supporting and supervising children ages 3 to 8 in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment, but have babysat ages ranging from 0–12 years old! I also have experience working with children who have special needs and always strive to provide them with the patience, understanding, and the support they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, mealtime, or bedtime – I’ve got it covered. Safety is a top priority, and I’m fully certified in: • CPR (BLS Certified) • First Aid • Stop the Bleed • Certified Nursing Assistant (PCNA) through Cleveland Clinic I am also fully vaccinated in all areas including Covid-19, I do not smoke and have my own transportation! I’m dependable, compassionate, and always bring positive energy to every job. I’m also comfortable handling any challenges that come my way with a calm and caring approach. Whether you're looking for someone to watch your pets, your kids, or both- I’d love to help!
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.
