Hi!! My name is Layla and I am currently a freshman at Kent State majoring in fashion design. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins quite frequently, and as I got older I started babysitting for family friends and families from my church. Over the years I have really come to love babysitting because getting to know each kid is such a fun and new experience. I’ve always loved kids because they are so naturally loving and full of surprises. Because of this, babysitting can sometimes be a challenge, but I pride myself in staying calm even under pressure. I also have experience in sewing, baking, arts and crafts, and would be able to help with early stages of childhood literacy, reading comprehension, or homework. I am also willing to help with light meal prep and tidying up at the end of the day. Punctuality, safety, and household rules and routines are my top priorities. I can’t wait to hear from you and get to know you and your family!
Hello! I am a Kent State student majoring in Early Childhood Education! My dream is to teach grades 1-3! I am providing part-time child care services. I have worked in a daycare setting throughout college. I have been with all age groups there, from 6 months all the way to kindergarten. With my major, I work with kids from ages 5-12!
Hi! My name is Grace and I’m currently in college, about to go into my fourth year. I am offering child care and occasional pet care services. I love babysitting, I’ve been doing it since about 15-16 years old. I’ve babysat ranges of newborn-12 years old, and some not the best well behaved children. I have also babysat up to 5 children at one time. I am CPR certified and I have reliable transportation. I have a cat so would be more than comfortable pet sitting cats. I have also pet sat 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions.
What makes me a good caregiver is having fun and building connections with the one’s I will supervise. I have two dogs and also a baby cousin that I would babysit A-LOT so i would say that i am experienced in caregiving for infants/toddlers, pets, and possibly seniors. I am also a very clean person so the family will not have to worry about coming back home to a mess. I chose this because I feel like I have a connection with babies I just love them, and also pets.
Hi! I’m Haylee, a 19-year-old nursing student at the University of Mount Union with a passion for working with children and creating a fun, positive, and safe environment. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for families to feel comfortable with their childcare provider. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active, playing tennis, and spending time with family and friends.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
