Baylee I., Babysitter in Portage, OH 43451 with 4 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children, helping them feel safe and comfortable, and being part of their everyday routines. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while also being dependable and responsible. It’s rewarding to build trust with both children and their families. I have experience caring for children by helping with daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, playing age-appropriate games and activities, helping with homework, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s individual personality, needs, and schedule. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and dependable. I have strong communication skills and understand the importance of safety, supervision, and following parents’ instructions. I’m also comfortable helping with routines such as meals, bedtime, playtime, and homework. I’m always willing to learn and follow each family’s specific preferences and guidelines.

Michelle O., Babysitter in Portage, OH 43451 with 2 years of paid experience

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.
