A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Summerlinn, and I’m a 19-year-old online college student through Ohio State University. I’m currently pursuing a major in Psychology with a minor in Human Development, and my goal is to become a Doctor of Occupational Therapy specializing in pediatrics. I’m an independent college student looking for a full-time position where I can start working as soon as possible. I’ve previously worked as a swim coach for three years at the Strongsville Rec Center with the Sea Monkeys team, and most recently as a lead daycare teacher at Learn N Grow, where I cared for children ages 18 months to 12 years old. I’m passionate about helping others and creating positive environments for kids to learn and grow. I’m also willing to renew my CPR and other certifications needed for the role. I’m looking for a job that not only helps me grow but allows me to do something I truly love!

A little bit about me

Hello, it’s nice to meet you!! I’m a 20 yrs old college student majoring in nursing. I love to cook, clean, shop, read, and go on adventures. I’m very sweet, caring, and understanding.

I have several years of experience working with children, primarily in the 0–8 age group, where I gained valuable skills in creating engaging activities, managing daily routines, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. This includes babysitting younger siblings, neighborhood kids, and assisting in a local daycare. I also have personal experience caring for my younger brother, who is autistic, which has given me a deeper understanding of patience, adaptability, and the importance of individualized approaches to support a child’s unique needs.

A little bit about me

I am a parent to an amazing three year old boy. Parenting has instilled in me a deeper sense of patience, empathy, and creativity—all qualities I bring into my professional life. Whether it’s finding new ways to encourage learning, communicating effectively with little ones, or simply being present and supportive, I’ve gained a firsthand understanding of how meaningful every moment is in a child’s development.
