Hello families! My name is Jacinda. I am currently double majoring in international business and Latin American culture/literature at The Ohio State University. I have an associates degree from Westmoreland County Community College. I am a pet friendly sitter with a passion for working with children of all ages. I have worked with children as young as 6 weeks to 13 years old. I enjoy helping children to meet evolving milestones and accomplish their goals. I have worked in childcare facilities for 3 years now though I had much experience babysitting family and friends before that. I can help with many needs such as diapering, meal prep, house chores, and more! I am CPR/First Aid certified as well as have my background clearances. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
