My name is Jaycee, I’m 18 years old, I currently work as a CNA and start online college in August. I have a passion for caring for people and I also happen to LOVE kids! While I do not have any experience in this career, I do have a ton of experience with kids of all ages, I’m an older sister and I also have a lot of nieces and nephews who I’m always delighted to take care of and I keep them a lot. I work in a long term care facility right now and while I love what I do I’d like to switch it up to something I’d love even more!

Pamela H., Child Care in Columbus, IN 47201 with 17 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Pamela, and I have 15+ years of childcare experience. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I am certified in first aid and CPR. I was an infant and toddler teacher for 8 years at a local daycare. I have experience caring for 8 infants at one time with one other helper, and caring for 10 toddlers at one time with one other helper. I also had my own home daycare for 3 years, and most recently have been a nanny for the past 3 years. I am looking for a nanny position somewhere in Columbus, or nearby. I love doing arts and crafts with kids, and spending time outdoors. I am looking for a non-smoking family that does not have any dogs inside the house, because I am allergic. I also prefer a family who is willing to do tax withholding. I am willing to travel up to 30 minutes or so outside of Columbus. please let me know if you are interested! Thanks!! :)

I started babysitting at age 11 and I have never stopped. I consider my work as a nanny my calling, and not just a job. The kids I care for and their parents become a part of my family, and I am pleased to remain close and in touch with all of my families when I stop working for them. While I am on the job, I relish the bonds that form between myself and the kids. I enjoy learning their personalities and establishing a routine that fits with their family's lifestyle and beliefs. I love discovering the techniques and activities that help them achieve milestones and learn new things. It brings me so much joy to know that while I am teaching and nurturing the babies and kids, I am assisting the parents by helping them check items off their daily and weekly to do lists. It brings a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. In my over 30 year career in childcare, I have experienced preemies and RSV and travel with my work families. I have stayed with my charges while their parents have gone out of town, taken the kids to many lessons and classes, and helped put on birthday parties. I have worked closely with visiting grandparents, occasionally babysat for out of town friends of my bosses, and assisted during family crises and celebrations. I have cared for three sets of twins, and while I count 15 nanny charges in my history, I have literally take care of over a hundred children. This is due to having my foundation in childcare formed in my church, where I was able to teach various Sunday School classes in addition to sitting at individual homes. I am an excellent nanny because I am a child at heart myself, and I can connect with where a child is coming from at all ages. I love all things Disney, I am an avid reader, a passionate lover of the arts and a creator of numerous crafts. I listen to all kinds of music and I am interested in always learning new things and meeting new people. I very much enjoy weaving these interests and personality traits into my work, and teaching the kids things that are important to me: namely being a positive member of society, using proper manners and respecting other people and others' property. I am a proud advocate of my own health and I share what I know with my work families in the hope I am a worthy role model for a healthy diet and lifestyle. I love being a nanny-- and a godmother, and an aunt!!-- more than I can express. It is a truly beautiful part of my life.

Alejandra C., Child Care in Columbus, IN 47201 with 4 years of paid experience

I love being around the youth. Growing up I was always taking care of my cousins, nieces and nephews. I have worked at nursing homes so I have cared for really every age from infants to elders. I love doing activities with kids like baking and going to the park! I have a 3 year old daughter. I am a nurse. If you would like to hire me I would have to bring my daughter along with me. I would love to help someone by caring for their child while my daughter gets to make new friends and have fun!
