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.

I am a kind, compassionate, and reliable individual with over ten years of dedicated childcare experience. Growing up as the oldest sibling, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have professional experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children in both private family settings and daycare. I am skilled in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments, including assisting preparing healthy meals, and managing bedtime routines. I am also CPR & First Aid certified. I am passionate about forming strong bonds with children and providing dependable, high-quality care to families.

I am a college graduate and grandmother to 6 grandchildren, and a native Ohio Buckeye who relocated to Phoenix in 2000. As a “Nana”, I have a lot of experience with children from infant to teenager. I believe that every child is unique. I enjoy playing games, doing puzzles, coloring, taking walks, showing children how to bake, reading to them, helping with homework, and sharing chores. I also, among other things, like spending time with children on outings such as museums, movies and zoos, striving to make every day an enjoyable learning experience. My grandchildren describe me as compassionate, fun, patient and a good listener…and sometimes goofy. I am certified in CPR and first aid and have worked with the oldest nanny agency in Arizona since 2019. I have provided nanny services to churches, private homes, and resorts on an hourly, daily and weekend basis. I have been complimented on the attention and compassion given to those in my care. I also provide personal assistance services if you need errands ran, basic household chores, organizing, etc. P.S. An extra charge for gas will be required if children need escorted or errands are run.

I currently work as a behavior therapist and have experience working in regular and special education, early childcare etc. I have babysat, nannied, tutored, and taught etc for many years. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have my bachelors degree in Elementary and Special Education and am finishing up my masters degree in Psychology. I am dependable, trustworthy, responsible, caring, loving and passionate. I do have references available upon request. I am open for evening and overnight position and am able to start immediately.
