Find experienced babysitters in Jackson Center, OH

Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I am a dedicated caregiver with a unique background that combines professional service, military discipline, and a genuine love for children. I am an Army veteran (6 years of service), where I served as a Culinary Specialist. My military training provided me with a strong foundation in responsibility, leadership, and emergency response, including CPR and First Aid.  I have a deep passion for working with children and have been involved in youth programs for many years. This includes helping with numerous Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs and serving in my church’s children's ministry, where I taught in the classroom for ages 4–5. My professional history in the dental and service industries has also made me highly organized, adaptable, and skilled at maintaining a calm environment.  A quick note for families: I am a proud mom to a 3-month-old, and she would be coming along with me to babysitting jobs. This provides a wonderful opportunity for built-in socialization for your little ones while allowing me to offer attentive care to both your children and mine. What I bring to your family: • Military-Grade Safety: Trained in first aid and CPR during my 6 years in the U.S. Army.  • Expert Meal Prep & Nutrition: As a former Army Culinary Specialist, I am skilled in high-quality meal preparation and have experience managing gluten-free and dairy-free dietary restrictions.  • Reliability & Discipline: I was a U.S. Army Distinguished Honor Graduate, reflecting my commitment to excellence and performance.  • Structured Engagement: Years of experience with VBS and church ministry, including planning activities and teaching preschoolers (ages 4–5). • Professionalism: Proven ability to handle scheduling, detailed records, and high-pressure environments with care.  I am excited to help your family and look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I'm Kendra Jarnagin! I am a 31-year-old mother of four offering a structured, loving, and educational childcare environment right out of my spacious home. With a background that includes starting nursing school during my younger years and later earning an Associate’s Degree in Business Management, I bring a unique blend of safety-minded awareness and strong organizational skills to my childcare. As a homeschooling mom to three of my four children (ranging in age from 2 to 11), your child won't just be "watched"—they will join a vibrant, daycare-like learning environment. We are incredibly fortunate to have a lot of space, utilizing both our main home and a fully converted barn classroom dedicated specifically to our homeschooling and learning activities. I specialize in creative, active routines, and I am proud to offer firsthand experience caring for children with neurodiverse needs, as my own son is Level 1 autistic. Because I already manage a full house, I am only looking to take on a couple of additional children to ensure everyone gets top-tier attention. I believe in structured, positive behavior management, utilizing constructive "cool-down" periods and physical movement (like active brain-breaks) to help kids reset their energy. Our home includes two indoor dogs (our cats live safely outdoors), so your child should be comfortable around pups. I offer maximum flexibility—whether you need full-time, part-time, second-shift, or emergency care, I am here to support your family!

Hello, my name is Sydney Hamilton. I am 20 years old and currently enrolled in the Rhodes State nursing program. I currently work PRN as a CNA at a local nursing home and I have experience with children of all ages including children with autism. I am open to senior care and childcare. I am very passionate about helping out those that need it and I love working with the elderly as well as with children. I have four years of childcare experience and I’m comfortable with children of any age. I have my own care and can also do housework along with the childcare.
