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)

I have a reliable car in case of emergency or transportation needs. I love the outdoors, playing soccer, spending time with friends and family, cooking, cleaning, picking up new hobbies, etc. I have always loved babysitting and have 7 years of experience. I currently have experience working at a daycare program and nannying a 4 month old. I would love to help out as little or as much as needed. I like to be hands on when I babysit and spend meaningful time when a child is in my care. I would love to get in touch and answer any further questions!

Hi there, my name is Alex, and I’m a down-to-earth and creative 19-year-old! I have taken a few years of culinary school and am hoping to get into college this Fall for Entomology. I’m looking for a part-time position, and my rates start at $17/hour for one child. I have been trained in First Aid and CPR; however, my license is not currently active. I am the older sibling of a child with special needs, so I understand and am willing to work with you on how to take care of your child. I am incredibly flexible and can stay up until early morning if needed for your child's needs. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, pretend play, and encouraging independent time for your child to learn. I am comfortable with pets and can even take care of them if needed. I look forward to meeting you. In my personal time, I enjoy reading about history. I have a wonderful partner who I take care of three cats with. I am LGBTQ+ friendly.
