A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Claire, a fourth-year nursing student at OSU with experience with both toddlers and secondary-school age children in a clinical environment. I am CPR/first aid certified, and thoroughly safety-oriented when it comes to all matters involving your child. I love working with kids of all ages and I’m more than willing to help with other things around the house such as light cleaning, errands, and meal-prepping.

As a student in school, I’m able to babysit part-time (about 2-4 times a week) and my hours are flexible.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I’m excited to get to know you!
