(For any location that is with-in a 60 minute drive to and from the Columbus area, give or take a few extra miles).

Loving, Organic, Fun, Active, Nanny, and Care Provider Available Immediately

Experienced, present Nanny, and Care provider, who is loving, organic, fun, active, and very flexible with scheduling, is seeking a long term position with a family, for any location that is with-in a 60 minute drive to and from the Columbus Area, give or take a few extra miles.  This also can include any position that is located in a rural and farming community. I am looking for a full-time live-out position and or a live-in position in a non-smoking environment.  I would prefer a live-in position, over a live-out position, but I am open to either type of position.  I am available now and I am hoping to start immediately.

 I am even willing to provide childcare for your family in exchange for free housing only (and no paid salary) as long as I can still earn a salary by caring for other family's children too, in addition to caring for your own children, that would be located in your area. This has worked out well for me before, then the mother moved out of state. Please also understand, this is my profession.

I am presently working for a Westerville family as a live-out nanny, that I have been with for over a year.  I currently care for a 5 year old and a 9 year old.  We do lots of fun activities together that range from outside organized activities at metro parks, playground, parks, play dates with friends, story hour at the library, art and craft projects, games, baking fun, pre-k readiness, and other fun activities.  At the same time I was working for this family full-time, I was also a live-in Nanny for another family until they moved to Arizona.  It has worked out really well.  Since my current family needs for a Nanny have changed from full-time care to very part-time care, I have recently started looking for another position to meet my financial needs.  I still have the opportunity to continue to work for them, that is, until I find a new position.   They typed out a great reference letter for me.  I have also been a live-in Nanny prior to this position, while I was living in TX for a period of time.

 I have over 20 years of experience and enjoyment working with children from infants through teens and working with several children at once.  I worked in childcare centers, summer day’s camps programs and most recently during the past 3 years in home settings as a Nanny and a Mother's helper.  Some of these recent Nanny positions included pet care for house pets and feeding & watering a variety of zoo and farm animals that lived on a ranch.  I also worked in other home settings throughout the years as a part-time Childcare Provider and Babysitter. 

I enjoy seeing children interact with each other and watching them grow developmentally in all areas.  I have lots of fun ideas and educational activities to engage children in. I love to take children to fun and educational places, introducing them to fun creative movement, teaching healthy nutrition, encouraging healthy living styles and good hygiene, transporting them to and from their activities, as well as introducing fun age appropriate activities in an enthusiastic manner.  Most importantly, I am very sociable, safety conscious, dependable, flexible, energetic, motivated, love to get involved and interact.  I love seeing a child smile, laugh, and grow. Based on all of my experiences with young children, my enthusiasm and interests, I believe that I am qualified to provide exceptional child care in a safe, fun environment for children to learn, explore and grow. 

My future career goals, is to continue being a Nanny for another long term position, and develop another long lasting great relationship with another family.    I want to keep coming up with new and fun activities to engage the children in.

My recent experiences with some of my previous families.

Previously during the last 3-4 years, as a live-in Nanny and Mother's helper, I had some opportunities to work for a family of 5 home schooled children.

I had also had the chance to work for a family, with two children that live on a ranch with tons of farm and zoo animals and they had many house pets.
