Hello! I’m Carla Morrison, and I’ve been a nanny for over 10 years. My journey in child care has been incredibly rewarding, and I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and safe environment where kids can thrive, learn, and have fun. Experience & Approach: Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep understanding of child development and know how to adjust my approach to meet the unique needs of each child I care for. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing arts and crafts, or planning outdoor activities, I always aim to keep things engaging and educational while ensuring the children are having a blast. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive to both the needs of the kids and the parents. What I Offer: * Personalized care for children of all ages * Expertise in creating a structured yet fun routine * Meal prep, light housekeeping, and organizing * First Aid and CPR certified for your peace of mind * An ability to communicate openly and work as a team with parents Why I Love What I Do: Being a nanny is more than just a job for me—it's a chance to be part of a child’s growth and development. I love building meaningful connections with the kids I care for, and I take pride in providing a calm and supportive environment where they feel safe and encouraged. I’m a big believer in creating positive memories, whether it's through play, learning, or just spending quality time together.

I have experience babysitting for my niece (6) and nephew (9) since they were babies and working at a summer camp with 60 kids ages 5-12. I love all ages of kids but especially 4-7! I'm very comfortable with multiple kids and pets. I love getting to teach kids new skills and come up with fun crafts or games to keep them entertained! I'd be happy to help around the house with chores, cleaning, or cooking as well. Looking for up to 10 hours a week or as needed in the afternoons and early evenings as I work a full-time job at St. Johns from 4am-12:30pm Mon-Fri and every fourth weekend.

I am a recent high school graduate and will be attending The Ohio State University next year to study business and finance. I have had 3 years of experience babysitting kids ranging from the ages of 4 to 11. With my past experience, I tried to shy away from technology and rather spent time with the kids outside playing sports and going on walks, etc. I have my own car and have a clean driving record so I am able to take the kids wherever they need as well as I would be able to run errands as needed. I love working with kids and have lots of patience when working with them so I would be very eager to help someone out!
