Hi, there! My name is Anastasia and I am a licensed school social worker. I grew up in a big family with lots of siblings, so I can handle it all. I started to baby sit when I was around 11 years old and it has created some of the most fun and exciting memories. I love crafts and going outside, but reading together and doing work is just as important to me as well. I have interned at elementary, middle and high schools and have done many mentoring programs where I had the opportunity to work with children one on one. It’s summer break so I am very flexible with time. Looking forward to working with your little one(s)!

Hi families! I’m Carolyn Walker — a mom, early childhood therapist, and caregiver who truly loves helping little ones grow. Parenthood has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m so grateful to share it with my wonderful husband and our spirited three-year-old son. Being a mother has only strengthened what I’ve spent the last ten years doing professionally: supporting children’s emotional, social, and behavioral development. As an early childhood therapist specializing in behavioral therapy and autism support, I understand how uniquely and beautifully each child learns and grows. My approach is rooted in patience, empathy, and meeting children exactly where they are. Whether you need reliable babysitting, consistent nanny support, or an extra set of hands during busy moments, I bring my therapeutic background directly into your home by creating: ✨ Safe, nurturing, and consistent routines ✨ Hands-on, age-appropriate activities ✨ Calm, supportive guidance during challenging moments ✨ Environments filled with joy, play, and trust I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your child’s world. My goal is to make your little one feel supported, engaged, and genuinely cared for whether I’m hosting them in my home or caring for them in yours. I’m excited to partner with families who want not just a sitter, but someone who understands child development, loves children wholeheartedly, and will cheer your little one on every step of the way.

Hi there! I’m Kendall — a dedicated childcare professional with nearly a decade of experience supporting children and families. I first started working with kids in 2016 as a gymnastics coach for ages 2–15, and I instantly fell in love with creating fun, confidence-building moments. In 2018, I moved into nannying and family assisting — and that’s where I realized this is what I’m meant to do. Since then, I’ve supported four amazing families, caring for infants, twin toddlers, and school-age kiddos, including children with autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and speech delays. I absolutely love meeting kids right where they are and helping them grow in their own unique ways. Most Recent Role — Family Assistant (3-year-old twins) • Kept daily routines smooth and structured • Handled meals, errands, and household tasks • Provided overnight and extended-hour care • Planned fun, developmentally rich activities • Supported emotional regulation and early learning • Potty Training Along the way, I’ve also worked as a K–8 substitute teacher and now as a Career Technical Education teacher. Teaching helped me strengthen my communication, organization, and leadership — but it also reminded me of something important: there is truly nothing like working directly with families as a nanny & family assistant. That’s where I feel the happiest, the most fulfilled, and the most “me.” With that said, I am so excited to find my way back to serving as a full-time nanny or family assistant with a family I can support long-term! I am looking forward to connecting and hopefully becoming a part of your family’s village! Warmly, Kendall

My name is Jessica, and I’m a wife and mother of two wonderful boys. I earned my degree in Special Education from Ohio University and have extensive experience working with children from infancy through school age. I taught kindergarten for two years, worked at KinderCare for ten years, and assisted two families with pod learning during the pandemic. Currently, I’m a teacher’s assistant, seeking a less demanding role to allow more time for involvement in my children’s schooling and extracurricular activities. At KinderCare, I served as the Learning Adventures teacher, where I led small groups in subjects like math, music, reading, and phonics. I was also a Pre-K teacher for three years and floated between classrooms during my spring and summer breaks. I absolutely love working with children! Creating a structured and engaging environment that fosters developmental growth is one of my greatest joys. I have a passion for working with kids and a deep patience for navigating different personalities. Knowing I can be a listening ear or a helping hand in a child’s life is what makes my work so fulfilling.
