I’m currently looking to provide part-time childcare from now until I begin my full-time engineering job at the end of July. I recently graduated from The Ohio State University in May with a degree in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). I began babysitting about eight years ago and spent five years with the same family, serving as their summer nanny while caring for children from infancy through elementary school. I love watching kids learn and grow, and I enjoy being part of that experience. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor, provided part-time substitute teaching for children in Pre-K through 5th grade, and volunteered with College Mentors for Kids. I’ve also supported children with diverse needs through volunteering at camps for kids with disabilities, which strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to create supportive, inclusive environments. I’m comfortable with pets and love keeping kids engaged through creative, hands-on activities, outdoor play, games, and crafts rather than relying heavily on screens. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, reading, or summer schoolwork when applicable. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel supported and excited to learn.
