Hello! I have been loving and caring for children for over 20 years now. I have cared for children ranging from infancy to pre-teens. When I care for a family I prefer a structured yet fun atmosphere. I have done lesson plans including but not limited to baby sign language, colors, numbers, alphabet, days of the week, shapes and months (English and Spanish). With music and arts and crafts as well. I also enjoy outings such as the zoo, Cosi, splash pads and other attractions within the central ohio area. I truly believe loving and caring for a child cannot be taught it truly is a passion. I hope to hear from you soon!

Miss Barbie is amazing! She treats our two kids like they are her own, makes them feel special by having their own blankets, cups, plates, etc. at her home just for them. She lifts a weight off our shoulders in so many ways. She provides meals, has extra clothes for the kids at her house, does their laundry that's there, all we have to do is drop them off and we know they're in such good care. She takes them to the zoo, Cosi, parks, etc. to ensure they are getting those fun experiences while we're working. She also works with our 4 year old on skills needed for preschool and kindergarten, does lots of crafts with the kids and educates them throughout the day. We cannot say enough about the quality of care Barbie provides to not only our kids, but our entire family.

Hi everyone, I'm Blessing! I was born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland but originally from The Democratic Republic of Congo. I have been living in Columbus for almost 3 years now and am currently working on getting a degree in Political Science. I've been volunteering and working with children closely for 7 years now, working at variety of children facilities and non-profits. I hope to take those experiences and start my own non-profit organization one day. Some of my hobbies include dancing, cooking, and binge-watching different T.V shows. I'm a big pasta lover and can eat pasta all day everyday but I also enjoy trying new foods. I love doing anything arts and crafts and love the color pink. I look forward to creating some fun memories!

I cannot recommend Alejandra highly enough. She started caring for our son when he was just 11 months old, and she stayed with our family as he grew into a thriving, active toddler. Watching her seamlessly adapt her care as our son's needs changed has been an absolute joy. When our baby was an infant she was incredibly nurturing, patient, and attentive. She was a lifesaver with establishing a solid nap schedule, managing bottle feedings, and encouraging milestone developments like tummy time and crawling. She kept meticulous daily updates that gave us complete peace of mind while at work. As our son transitioned into a toddler, Alejandra effortlessly shifted gears to keep up with the new energy levels. She introduced creative educational play, daily outdoor exploration, sensory activities, and helped us successfully navigate toddler speech development, including Spanish. She balances warmth with gentle, consistent boundaries. Alejandra is punctual, highly communicative, and deeply trustworthy. She didn’t just watch our child—she became an extension of our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!

Hi! My name is Sydney I’m 24, I’ve worked in childcare for 3 and half years. I’m currently taking college classes and unfortunately had to part ways with the childcare center I was working at. It’s only been a few months and I miss it like crazy. Taking care of the children and watching them grow, learn and being able to be that teacher for them was such an amazing feeling and I would like to continue in that. I figured with my curtain availability babysitting would be the best option! I primarily worked with toddlers of a potty training age, that was my classroom, the potty training classroom! So I’m 100% willing to help with any potty training as well as tips for the parents. Although I mostly worked with the toddlers I was often out and about in every different age classroom helping the teachers and students whenever I could. I also love doing crafts with the children and doing meaningful activities. I’m excited for the opportunities this will bring me and I’m excited to get to know some new families!!!

Hi, I’m Izzie! I have spent the last 4 years caring for children of all ages and with different levels of care needs. I have experience with special needs children, twins and infants as well children of all ages up to pre-teen and teen. I have certifications in babysitting, first aid, CPR and specialized training with autism. I enjoy activities with the children I care for, with an emphasis on hands-on play and less screen time. I encourage healthy living and healthy eating. I am a very organized individual and have no problem helping with household chores and tasks in my downtime. This is something that I make a priority to do without being asked, as a very self-motivated person. If there are chores that kids have, I will also help them stay on task to get them completed. I am comfortable making snacks and food. I am able to help with learning activities and homework. I have experience with pet sitting, and I foster cats through my local humane society, so taking care of pets would be no problem for me. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record. I have availability for daytime, evening, as well as overnight hours.

I truly don’t know if there are enough good things I could say about Izzie. She has become so much more to our family than simply a babysitter, and I genuinely don’t think she has any idea how much she helps me and how grateful I am for her. We have four kids, all with completely different ages, personalities, needs, and schedules, and she handles the chaos with an ease that amazes me. She doesn’t just “watch” our kids. She knows them, talks to them, plays with them, listens to their endless stories, laughs with them, and has formed her own relationship with each of them. They absolutely LOVE her and are genuinely excited when they know Izzie is coming. One of the sweetest things she does is my daughter’s nails. This may seem like such a small thing, but it is so special to my daughter. She looks forward to it, and it gives them such a sweet opportunity to spend time together. I love seeing how excited and proud my daughter is when Izzie does her nails, and it means so much to me that Izzie takes the time to do something that feels so special to her. And somehow, on top of taking amazing care of four kids, she CLEANS for me. I cannot explain what it feels like to come home after being gone and realize that not only were my kids safe, happy, and loved, but my house is cleaner than when I left. She notices things that need done without me asking. She picks up, cleans, helps with the mess and chaos that comes with having four kids, and takes things off my plate that she probably doesn’t even realize were weighing on me. As a busy mom, that is an incredible gift. There have been so many times I’ve walked in after she’s been here and thought, “She seriously has no idea how much she just helped me.” I trust Izzie completely, which is the highest compliment I could ever give someone caring for my children. I can leave and actually relax because I know they are safe, loved, and with someone who genuinely cares about them. At this point, calling her our “babysitter” doesn’t even feel right. She is part of our village, she makes my life easier, she loves our babies, and our entire family absolutely adores her. If you are lucky enough to have Izzie care for your children, you have found an absolute gem. Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. ❤️
