Greetings my name is Ayo Tosh and I’m interested in possibly being of assistance to you and your family. I have previously worked for other families with children of all ages as a private nanny and in daycare facilities for 5 years now. I think I would be a great fit for the job. Feel free to reach out to me if you’re interested or would like further information about me.
Hi! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with experience caring for children of different ages. Coming from a large family, I’ve spent years helping care for my younger cousins and providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I also have experience providing overnight care for an elderly woman, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness.
I am available for morning, daytime, evening, and overnight babysitting with advance notice. I enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel comfortable while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in good hands.

I am a motivated student currently attending a Health and Science Early College, where I am building a strong foundation in health, science, and general education courses while earning both high school and college credits. At just 14 years old, turning 15 soon, I have already demonstrated leadership and entrepreneurship by holding two business licenses—one in floral design and another in bakery services. Through these ventures, I have gained hands-on experience in business management, customer service, and creative product development, as well as a deep understanding of time management and professionalism. I am also interested in babysitting and pet sitting, as I enjoy caring for others and being responsible for their well-being. My goal is to continue growing academically and professionally while pursuing future opportunities in health, science, and business.
