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 Miss Shae. I have been a nanny for 27 years now! I just adore children! I think they keep me young! At heart anyway! I have had every age under the rainbow, newborn to teenagers. I’m currently looking for a new position as my current position is coming to an end as the little girl is 11years old. I have been more of a personal assistant house manager for the past couple of years. I would love to meet your little ones! I will make them as happy as they make me! I look forward to the next chapter and family to become a part of!!

Hello! I am Mari. I have provided child care in the Columbus area for 20+ years and, as it turned out, primarily for families in which both parents are doctors. I have a B.A. in Communications. I enjoy kiddos and have plenty of experience with transporting them to activities & appointments as well as accomplishing light housework. I would like the opportunity to talk and/or meet to see if I am a good match for your family. Thank you, Mari

Hi families! My name is Lise Banek, and I’m currently a Special Education teacher in Hilliard City Schools. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for as long as I can remember—caring for children has always been a big part of my life! I’m originally from Denver, CO, and I have a twin sister and a younger brother who live back home in CO. I moved to Ohio for college in 2020 and quickly fell in love with the area—so I decided to make it my home! I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring a caring, fun, and dependable presence into your child’s life. Looking forward to connecting! Best, Lise Banek

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. My three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, have solidified my commitment to fostering their growth. I have some college experience and hold current certifications in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with kids. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children and happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I speak both English and Spanish. I always follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules and communicating about their child's day, whether through verbal updates or regular texts. Supporting families and watching children thrive brings me immense satisfaction, and I look forward to creating a fun and safe environment for your little ones.

I am an enthusiastic sitter and first-year student at Ohio Wesleyan University, where I am studying neuroscience on a pre-med track. I have experience working with children ages 5–11 as a summer camp counselor and have also interned in a pediatric emergency department. In my community, I’ve babysat for several families and taken on multiple pet-sitting roles. I currently volunteer as an EMT at a local fire station, where I run calls on the medic unit. Outside of school and the station, I love hiking and spending time outdoors! I also love playing piano and viola, I am in my school’s orchestra. With my background in basic life support, childcare, and lesson planning, I look forward to creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your family’s needs!

I’ve led as a teacher in a daycare, including babies to 12 years old. I have babysat, as well as nannied two separate families. My last family involved 4 children between ages of newborn to 5 years old. I do have a child of my own who is about to be one years old! He is up to date on vaccinations and loves to play with other kids. I pride myself in early education and building a healthy foundation to love and appreciate the world around them.
