Hi! I'm a college student studying Psychology with over two years of experience working at a daycare. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have cared for children of all ages, with the most experience caring for infants and toddlers. Growing up in a big family, I've always loved spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them. I'm happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, transportation, errands, homework, and keeping little ones engaged through play and age-appropriate activities. I strive to be a dependable, patient, and caring sitter that parents can trust and children look forward to seeing!

Hello! My name is Janiel, and I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic sitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I love creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where kids can learn and grow. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’m confident in handling emergencies with calmness and care. I have experience with meal preparation, light housekeeping, diaper changes, homework help, and bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable with pets, and I don’t mind lending a hand with school drop-offs/pickups or occasional errands if needed. I enjoy planning creative activities—whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, story time, or learning games—so kids stay entertained while also building new skills. Most importantly, I value open communication with parents and consistency with family routines, so you can feel confident your child is well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable childcare that gives parents peace of mind and children a safe, supportive, and fun space. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s life!

Janiel was such a great help to me and my daughter when I needed a sitter urgently, this was my second time with her and she has always been reliable and nurturing towards my baby girl. These days it’s really hard to find trustworthy and reliable sitters who you know will take care of your child and that was always a concern for my husband and I. Thank you for being such an attentive individual. I totally recommend her services. ??

I hold degrees and social work and child welfare. I have extensive knowledge of children development, having been been an educator from infants through Elementary ages. My attitude is fun and hardworking at the same time! I'm a ray of sunshine who gets the job done. I come from a family of 11 children and family means everything to me. I've also worked extensively with the disabled and elderly, so I'm extremely compassionate and patient. I'm hoping to blend seamlessly into a family's lifestyle to help everyday go a little better when possible.

Knowing Janet was a blessing for our whole family! We met her as an infant teacher for our son at KinderCare, and she was there for the next two siblings as well! She was a stellar sitter when we needed her, complete with a fun bag of activities. The kids are all older now, but we all geow and learn and appreciate those years and special helpers like Janet!

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!

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 living and caring for a child cannot be taught it truly is a passion. I hope to hear from you soon!
