Hi everyone! My name is Sam and I am a sophomore at OU. I’m originally from Texas and am now looking for jobs in Norman, OK! I have been babysitting since I was 13, so I have many years of experience with kids of all ages! From 2[removed], I worked as a cheer and tumbling coach for White Rock Tumble and Cheer in Dallas with ages 3-14! I love spending time with kids, but also love animals! I have 5 years of experience with dog and cat sitting, and with proper instruction I can take care of your animals too! Reach out to me if you’d like some extra time taken off of your hands! I’m happy to help!
Hi i’m Emma and I have been babysitting for about 5 years off and on. I was most recently a developmental gymnastics coach for ages 19 months through 12 years! My most recent babysitting job was caring for 3 year old twin boys! I love working with kids and their safety and development is my number one priority! I am currently a student at The University of Oklahoma majoring in marketing. I tend to do really great with toddler/kid age(1-5years) and I find it super easy to bond with the kiddos!
Hi- My name is Elida. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) for 25 years. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands, I have been a caretaker to my late father in law with alzheimer and spent 17 years as an aid caregiver for a couple. I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I happy to work with families pets.
Hello! My Name is Syd, and I look forward to taking care of your loved one! I am currently a student at OCCC studying biology, but I will soon be transferring to OU. My experience in childcare includes babysitting, coaching soccer for ages 2-5, substitute teaching for elementary middle school, and helping with summer camps like VBS. I hold myself to a high standard of responsibility but love making sure that the little ones are having a blast with crafts, games, and lots of exercise! (Dance parties are a personal favorite.) When I was 13, my first job was a stable hand, which involved caring for many different animals. I’ve also had plenty of pets in my lifetime, some of which have had special health issues like diabetes, collapsed tracheas, cancers and skin disorders, so I have no issues caring for special needs animals. I am a very experienced cook and enjoy keeping a house tidy. As a vegetarian, I understand the importance of paying close attention to specific dietary needs, but cooking meat products is no problem and something I do often.
