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 :)
“Very fun, plays big time with kids, would definitely hire again ”

Being a father I have had many years of experience watching children. I have worked the last 4 years as a substitute teacher and intervention assistant, where I have taught in elementary, middle and high schools. I volunteered as a chaperone for a band camp over 2 summers while my son was in school, as well as various youth groups. Being a substitute, I have an active background check conducted most recently in early 2023.
