A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lex, and I’m a graduate student at the University of Dayton. I’ve been involved in childcare for many years, beginning in my mid-teens when my parent started fostering children with disabilities. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, understanding, and creating a supportive environment where every child feels safe and valued.

I’ve helped care for children of various ages and abilities, assisting with daily routines, activities, and emotional support. I truly enjoy building positive connections with kids and encouraging their creativity, confidence, and independence.

As a graduate student, I bring a sense of responsibility, organization, and empathy to everything I do. I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, engaging, and nurturing space for your child or children while supporting your family’s needs.

A little bit about me

I love being a sitter because spending time with children brings me so much joy. I enjoy staying active with them. Whether it's going for walks, swimming at the local pool, or just playing outside. I have experience working as a gymnastics coach, which taught me how to guide, support, and connect with kids in a way that builds both trust and fun. I'm CPR certified, and I’m confident in my ability to handle a variety of situations calmly and responsibly. I can cook, clean, care for pets, and help create a safe, happy, and engaging environment for kids of all ages. Being a sitter isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I truly care about and enjoy. I’m currently a sophomore in college, and I’m looking for flexible, rewarding jobs where I can continue making a positive impact while balancing my academic schedule.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Shelli Jarrell. I’m from Burr Ferry, LA and moved to Dayton, OH in June 2019. I grew up on a horse ranch caring for all farm animals, siblings, cousins, & my elders. I have been watching other children since I was a child. In my teenage years, I got into exotic animal husbandry after having grown up reading books, documentaries, reading studies, and watching presentations on animals, the present/historic earth, & microbiology. Keeping undomesticated animals has given me the patience, ability to understand from another’s perspective, a keen eye for behavioral changes, and the ability to understand body language. I started working at my Mawmaw’s store at 15yrs and have a good work ethic set. I even funded my own rescue for wildlife & exotics as a teen and the community would help support me by coming to me with any information or surrenders. I am experienced with giving medical care to other people and animals from the rescue as well as my family that spanned into my adulthood.
