Hi there! I’m Salome, but everyone calls me Soul — and I wear that name proudly, because caring for children has always been where my heart feels most at home. I just moved back to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio after spending over a year in Atlanta, where I had the joy of working closely with an incredible family. For over 14 years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from snuggly newborns to curious teens — as a babysitter, nanny, and after-school teacher. My experience spans infants, toddlers, and multiples, and I’ve also worked hands-on in schools, where I’ve applied my public health background to create safe, structured, and nurturing environments. Kids keep me inspired — their curiosity, creativity, and honesty remind me to see the world with fresh eyes. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative play, or maintaining your baby’s daily routine, I love finding ways to support each child’s personality and rhythm. My goal is always to meet them where they are and help them grow with confidence. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for children abroad through mission trips and community health work, experiences that taught me how to connect with kids and families from all walks of life. I’m comfortable with pets, speak another language, and bring a calm, joyful energy wherever I go. Most importantly, my goal is to serve as an extension of your family — not to overstep, but to honor and maintain your approach, creating a sense of trust, consistency, and care that helps your little ones feel right at home.

Hi I'm Ushio, I have raised/cared for children for over 9years. I love being around children and like to introduce them basic sciences. I have Recognition of Excellence Award in Praxis in Biological Sciences and also have experience teaching at a Japanese supplemental school (junior high schoolers). My expertise is in ecological science but can also teach Japanese, basic math, and other sciences to some extent. I'm a native Japanese speaker, so If you would like your little ones to learn Japanese, I can teach them while I babysit :) Depending on the situation/children's interests, I can introduce types of insects, periodic table, and have some story books based on ecological theories. If you don't mind a bit of mess, I can also provide a little at home experiments (using all safe materials such as salt, sugar, food coloring etc.). I focus on the interests of each child and try to provide them with a fun time to help them recognize that the learning is fun. *I don't do strict tutoring/teaching. I can also simply play with them. I will jump with them at trampoline place, will get in the water at swim class, and play tags with them at park...I play seriously :) Available Fri evening & some Sunday afternoon. Single parent discount available. Look forward hearing from you! Ushio

My name is Dayana Leach, and I have over 7 years of childcare experience, including 4 years as a Pre-K aide in an elementary school and 3 years working as a full-time nanny. I have had the joy of caring for children ranging from newborns through 5th grade, and I love helping each child grow and thrive at their own stage of development. With certifications in CPR and First Aid, as well as classroom experience as a teacher’s aide, I bring both safety and structure to my care. I balance being calm and nurturing with creativity and fun—whether that means planning engaging activities, supporting learning, or simply being a steady and loving presence throughout the day. I am also a new mom to a 2-month-old, and I’m looking to welcome another child into my home to provide care alongside my little one. I believe this creates a warm, family-like environment where children can play, learn, and grow together. As a Christian, I strive to live out my faith in my daily life and in the way I care for children—by modeling kindness, patience, and love in everything I do. I’m comfortable with driving, daily routines, meal prep, and homework help, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and encouraging space for kids. Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy building long-term connections with both children and parents.

Hello! My name is Marissa. :) I'm an energetic, honest & reliable 27 year old from Westerville. I have 15 years of nannying experience, ages newborn-teen & I have nannied every summer since I was 12! Additionally, I have worked at a daycare, worked night shift watching a newborn, and had a class of 6 2 year olds as a toddler teacher. (As hard and playfully chaotic as it was; I absolutely loved it.) Prior to being a toddler teacher, I worked at Kinsale Golf & Fitness center in the kids club, ONE-CHURCH kids youth ministry & babysat for several well known & highly respected families in Columbus. Aside from working with kids, I have practiced real estate, started & ran a successful high-end resell business, and served at 2 high-end restaurants. With that said, working with children has brought me more joy than any of my other endeavors, and ironically serves as a form of therapy for me.
