Sittercity helps Pickerington families find the best babysitters

My name is Demi and I’m 28. I have been a babysitter for 10 years, a nanny for 5 years, and I’ve worked in an in-home daycare setting for a year and a half. I have always enjoyed working with kids. I primarily care infants and toddlers but I love kids of all ages. I strive to be a creative and playful nanny. I enjoy the outdoors if the weather is nice. When indoors there will be lots of arts of crafts, imaginative games and educational tv shows if possible.

My name is Kat and I have been a kindergarten - 8th grade teacher for 15 years in the Ohio public and charter school systems. I have taught Art & Art History, STEM/STEAM Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math), Technology Integration, Design and Technology, Coding and Programming and Robotics. When I’m not educating youth in the classroom, I’m coaching 3-12 year old children on the sports field. I have been a youth sports coach for 14 years for Skyhawks Sports Academy and i9 Sports. Over the years I have coached soccer, lacrosse, basketball, Tball, golf, volleyball, flag football and cheerleading. I’m trained in infant/children’s first aid, CPR, medication administering, feeding tubes, seizure disorders and diabetes. I have experience dealing with children who have ADD and ADHD and children with mental and physical impairments. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Findlay in 2005 as a triple major honors scholar in K-12 Art Education, Children’s Book Illustration and Studio Art. I love working with children of all ages from new born to middle school and always have fun educational ideas and sports equipment for children to enjoy while I’m babysitting. I have experience as a nanny for a family with 6 children ages newborn to 12 years. I helped get the children up and ready for school, prepared meals, home schooled the 3, 4, & 5 year old, did dishes, laundry & light house work, and offered homework help. I also drove the children to various sports practice and games, swim lessons, karate lessons, and birthday parties. I have a new car and a perfect driving record, so safely transporting children is not an issue. I've dedicated my life to working with children and I'd be the perfect sitter for any family.

Hi! I'm a fourth year social work student at OSU! After I graduate in this winter, I plan to attend OSU next summer to get my master in social work. With that master degree, I would like to become a family therapist/school therapist. I’m also CPR certified. Growing up I always enjoyed taking care and being around kids. I'm pretty sure it's because I am the oldest child out of my family. It's also been in my routine to look after and care for younger ones. I love working with children because you never know what to expect from them. It's something new with them every 3 minutes. I love being around young kids because they are not only learning from you but you are learning from them. I have watched kids in many different settings including camps, homes, churches, and schools. With that being said, I have watched/drove many kids of all ages. I have served as an emergency sitter and a labor on call sitter! I was a camp counselor for 5th graders, a kidz kingdom teacher for babies-5 year old, an after school teacher aid for kindergarteners/1st graders, and have babysat for numerous amount of families. Some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos is explore. Exploring can encompass many things ranging from trying new foods, to visiting a museum, to visiting the local parks, zoo, or COSI etc. Kids are always eager to explore and it activity that can help connect and build. I have experience watching multiples. I’ve gotten up to 6 kids at one time before! I have experience with babies and overnight sitting as well.
