Being a good caregiver means showing up with patience, love, and responsibility every day, whether it’s for people or animals. It’s not just about meeting basic needs, but also about making them feel safe, respected, and cared for. As an 18-year-old, I’ve learned that being dependable and kind can make a big difference—feeding pets on time, walking dogs, or making sure someone feels listened to all matter. Paying attention to little details, being gentle, and balancing help with independence builds trust and comfort. A good caregiver always shows dignity, compassion, and consistency in every situation.

Hi, my name is Chloe, and I am currently a freshman at the University of Cincinnati. I offer childcare, household assistance, and pet care services. I do want to mention that I do not currently have my driver’s license or my own vehicle yet, so I would not be able to transport children or run errands. However, I am still able to help with many other responsibilities around the home. I previously babysat for a family that I became very close with when I was 15–16 years old, and I absolutely loved it. My responsibilities included playing with the kids, taking them outside, preparing meals, putting them to bed, doing laundry, washing dishes, tidying up the house, and helping care for the family pets. In addition to childcare, I also offer household assistance and pet care. I am comfortable cooking, cleaning, organizing, and taking care of animals. I consider myself a very kind, patient, and caring person. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a positive bond with them so both the children and parents feel comfortable and supported.

I have over 8 years of experience working with children, starting with one family I’ve consistently babysat for since I was a teenager. Over the past year, I’ve also worked as a nanny for two additional families, providing dependable and nurturing care for children ranging in age from infants to preteens. My responsibilities have included everything from school pickups and meal prep to playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a structured but fun environment. My reliability and strong relationships with the families I work with have also led them to trust me with house-sitting and pet care duties while they’re away. I’ve looked after dogs of various breeds and energy levels, making sure they’re walked, fed, and given attention and companionship while their owners are out of town. My experience reflects not only my love for children and animals but also the high level of trust others place in me to care for what matters most to them.

I am a mother of 3 adult children and the Nana of 3 young children. I have a special place in my heart for children and seniors. I have volunteered in many capacities including coaching many youth sports teams, girl and boy scouts, drill team and numerous school functions.

Hi, my name is Jenna and I’m 22 years old with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I was a full-time nanny for two and a half years, caring for three children who began in my care at 6 months, 7 months, and 3 years old. I continued working with them until they were nearly 3 and 5 years old, supporting their daily routines, development, and early learning. I also nannied another family for about a year, caring for children ages 3 to 7. Overall, I have extensive experience caring for multiple children at once and managing different age groups simultaneously, while ensuring each child’s individual needs are met. Before my nanny positions, I worked at two different daycare centers, caring for children ranging from newborn to 7 years old. I am currently a Lead Infant Teacher (ages 6 weeks to 10 months) at a daycare, a role I have held for over a year, where I focus on providing safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care during this critical stage of growth. In addition, I have volunteered at a special needs preschool, gaining valuable experience supporting children with a variety of developmental and learning needs. I also babysit for multiple families as needed, caring for children ranging from 2 weeks to 11 years old. I am currently pursuing my education with the goal of obtaining my license to open and operate my own daycare in the future. I love engaging children in fun, enriching activities such as trips to the park, splash pads, swimming, outdoor play, and creative indoor activities. I am also comfortable transporting children to and from school or activities as needed. Alongside childcare, I also offer dog and house sitting services. While my professional experience in this area is limited, I have cared for pets and homes for family members and I am a responsible, reliable animal lover with two dogs of my own.
