Hi, I am a graduate from The Ohio State University and am looking to help families out! I am offering child care, senior care or house hold services. I love babysitting and have been babysitting for over 11 years, and children of all age ranges. Children truly bring joy to my life and look forward to babysitting your children!! I also work as a house assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I am also comfortable with senior care. Driving to appointments, cooking, cleaning, or even just being there and playing cards. I love animals, so pets are always a bonus :)
I have worked as a classroom assistant for childcare center from 2[removed]. I helped teachers supervise children during play, implement lessons, and help during bathroom/diapering. I worked with ages 6 weeks to 6 years-old. I have a BA in Psychology and also hold a MSW and was a child and family therapist for 10 years. Currently, I am transitioning to focus on writing and music career, and would like part time work to support myself. I'm flexible, independent, and fun. I believe in making children feel safe above all things. I love music, art, dance, and games and share those activities with children. I am dancer with education and teaching experience in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and musical theater. I have play piano and bass currently.
“It’s our first time working with Angelique. So far our 1 and 2 year old didn’t fuss. They played with her and did not cry ”
Hello, I’m Wendy and I love working with kids of all ages and all types of pets! I have done a lot of babysitting over the years and have a 17 year old son. I have a lot of experience with cats, dogs and horses as well. I work part time for a chiropractor as the office manager, but we’re a newer business so we don’t have enough patients to be there full time. I have a positive attitude and I’m compassionate and understanding. Reading and doing activities with kids are some of my favorite things to do while babysitting. My hobbies include reading, horseback riding and spending time with our 3 cats and 1 dog. I hope to hear from you and have an opportunity to meet your kids and or pets!
Hi, I’m Cynthia! I have a background in psychology/ education and a natural ability to connect with both children and animals. I’m warm, calm, and attentive—and I truly enjoy providing a safe, caring environment. Child Care I care for one child at a time so I can give them my full attention. I enjoy creative and educational play, and I’m experienced with young children, especially through my time with my grandbaby. I’m happy to help with basic routines, light meals, and keeping your child engaged in fun, age-appropriate ways. Pet Care I also offer pet sitting for one dog at a time. My deep experience comes from caring for my own dog for 13 wonderful years. I’m now a grand-dog mom too! I’m happy to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your pet, and I’m comfortable with dogs that shed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, calm, and kind, I’d love to support your family—whether human or furry.
Hello, my name is Alex! I am a recent graduate of OSU with a psychology degree, and I am now looking to save up for graduate school. I love spending time outdoors in nature or inside watching movies and reading with my cat. I have 5+ years of experience with elementary to middle school aged kids. A lot of my experience comes from my position as latchkey counselor within my school district’s elementary schools, as well as my time babysitting for multiple families in my area. Alongside my experience watching kids, I also have years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats and multiple years of professionally cleaning houses that were being prepared to go on the market. I always bring an upbeat, energetic, and kind attitude towards any work I do. This allows for a warm, welcoming, and positive environment that the kids will absolutely love. I am very big on allowing children to be who they are by encouraging them to be creative and by participating in their activities and games. I’m available for nights any day of the week, with possible availability for some mornings or afternoons. I hope we make a great match and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time! :)
