Hello everyone, my name is Tessa and I am currently attending BGSU. I am a junior and am majoring to become an intervention specialist. I am 22 years old and I already have a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to babysitting and caregiving for others. My current job while I am at home is a caregiver for one of my brothers group homes in his business. I am in charge of taking care of 4 low-functioning autistic men and my oldest brother also has low-functioning autism. Just from growing up with him, I have had so many real-life experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. I have also babysat for one family for about 5 years in my hometown that had 3 children (ages when I went away to college were 9,5,2) Babysitting is something that brings me joy and it’s right up my alley when it comes to all the experience that I have. Other experiences I have had are: - volunteering in a first grade classroom - volunteering my whole senior year at an autistic center for children in the k-3 classroom (had all low-functioning nonverbal autistic boys) -assisting as a student aid in various elementary, middle, and high school classrooms (required field work for my major at bgsu) -babysitting for multiple families in the area (ages 1-12)

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I have about a year and a half of babysitting experience. I’m a nursing student at Bowling Green State University, working toward becoming a pediatric nurse someday. I’m the oldest of three sisters, so caring for and looking after younger kids has always been a part of my life. I grew up in a small town near Cleveland (Chagrin Falls) and have always been active — I played soccer, ran track and cross country, and sang in choir. I’m a bubbly, energetic person who loves to engage with kids through play, creativity, and activities they enjoy. I’m artistic and love building connections that make every child feel heard and seen. I’ve babysat for family members and neighbors, helped with meals and snacks, and I’m comfortable handling basic first aid if needed.
