Kara M.
- 5 years paid experience
- 15 miles
My name is Kara Moody. I recently graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelors degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I will be taking one year off from my graduate studies before returning to school. I have been babysitting for families for about 4 years now and when I saw your job posting I thought that it might be the perfect position for me. I have experience with all age ranges of children but especially infant-12 years as the families I have babysat for the most often have had children in those age ranges including boys and girls. I enjoy being hands on with children while interacting with them and learning the things they enjoy to do which helps pass the time while their parents are away more enjoyable for them. Some things I enjoy doing are arts/crafts, reading, being in the outdoors, and cooking. I enjoy cooking healthy meals for the little ones and if old enough letting them become hands on as well. Aside from all of this I enjoy taking children to the park, the zoo, the pool, and COSI if allowed by the parents. Thank you for reviewing my profile and please feel free to reach out.

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.

I started babysitting at the young age of 10. I then became a Sunday School teacher in my church. During college, I worked as a teacher's assistant in the OSU child care center. I have a bachelors in early childhood development and have achieved my masters in education. I worked as a pre-k teacher, kindergarten teacher, and substituted for grades pre-k to 12th grade. People have always said I have a special gift with children. I enjoy helping your child develop emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Constance M.
- 9 years paid experience
- 11 miles
I have been working with children for about 9 years, first at a daycare (preschoolers and school age), then as a substitute teacher and now as a licensed teacher. I have experience with a wide age range of children (K-12). I also have tutoring experience and have a degree in English Literature. In addition to this, I also have experience with special needs and have been a teacher's aide (TA) in an autistic classroom. In terms of babysitting, I have experience with bedtime routines as well as working with multiples. I don't mind the presence of pets as long as they are friendly. **Note: I only accept cash or check payments**

Hi everyone, I'm Blessing! I was born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland but originally from The Democratic Republic of Congo. I have been living in Columbus for almost 3 years now and am currently working on getting a degree in Political Science. I've been volunteering and working with children closely for 7 years now, working at variety of children facilities and non-profits. I hope to take those experiences and start my own non-profit organization one day. Some of my hobbies include dancing, cooking, and binge-watching different T.V shows. I'm a big pasta lover and can eat pasta all day everyday but I also enjoy trying new foods. I love doing anything arts and crafts and love the color pink. I look forward to creating some fun memories!

Hi! My name is Terri’Anna, and I am a responsible, compassionate, and safety-focused caregiver with a strong healthcare background, one year of babysitting experience, and firsthand experience growing up with and caring for a younger sibling with special needs. I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2024 with a degree in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and am currently enrolled at OSU as a student nurse in the graduate-entry program with a neonatal specialty. I have two years of CNA experience at The James Cancer Hospital, currently work as a Patient Care Assistant in the NICU, and have also worked as a pharmacy technician, all of which have strengthened my ability to support both children and their families during vulnerable moments. I genuinely enjoy caring for families by creating a safe, nurturing, and dependable environment where parents feel confident and supported, and children feel comfortable and cared for. I am CPR and BLS certified, patient, attentive, and eager to help meet each family’s unique needs.

Lisa B.
- 26 years paid experience

Hi, I’m Lisa. I raised three children on my own, and they’re now successful adults. I also have experience in regular daycare settings and in-home childcare, which gives me a solid, real-world understanding of children at every stage. I’m calm, patient, and attentive. I handle routines, transitions, and big emotions with consistency and common sense. I engage with children, and focus on creating a safe, steady, and supportive environment. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and a non-drinker. I have a background check and references available. I enjoy cooking and baking with children and using time in the kitchen as a fun learning experience. Baking naturally teaches measuring, counting, and following directions, while cooking together encourages responsibility and creativity. I’m also a magazine-published cook, and I’m happy to prepare dinner for families when needed. Children are welcome to help if they’re interested. I’m comfortable providing date-night care, overnights, and extended care including weekends. I’m also very comfortable with pets and happy to help with basic pet care. I’m flexible with my schedule and work closely with parents to accommodate their needs. I respect your home, your routines, and your expectations. If you’re looking for experienced, dependable childcare from someone who truly understands children and brings added value to your home, I’d be happy to connect.
