I'm a college student attending LCCC currently for my Associates of Nursing. While I don't have professional experience babysitting, I have 2 younger siblings who I've nearly raised as my own kids since they were young. I am CPR and first aid certified. I decided to be a sitter due to my compassion for kids and ability to connect! My abilities also extend beyond sitting to more, such as basic household work (laundry, dishes, etc.), running errands, in addition to having my own car. I am particularly available in the mornings, but have a flexible schedule so feel free to reach out!

Hi - my name is Jordyn, and I just graduated from Ohio Dominican University, where I played soccer and got a degree in Exercise Science. I work/have worked with toddlers and kids (5-12) at my local YMCA, running various camps and working at a child watch program. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, teaching various sports, and organizing group games/activities. In camp, my ratio was 1:18, so I am comfortable watching any number of kids. Being a former college athlete, I love being active with the kids I work with. Whether it’s teaching them new activities, playing board games, baking, or playing outside, I love to see them learn while having fun! Having just graduated, I have a lot of availability and flexibility to help a family/families out!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I find it really rewarding to build connections with children, support their routines, and give parents peace of mind while they’re away. What experience do you have? I have experience babysitting children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve cared for multiple children at once, helped with meals, bedtime routines, homework, and playtime, and made sure children stay engaged in a fun and positive environment. What skills and training do you have? I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, with strong communication skills. I’m good at following instructions, keeping routines consistent, and handling unexpected situations calmly. I’m attentive to safety, organized, and always focused on making sure children feel comfortable and supported.
