Find experienced child care providers in Galena, OH

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.

I don't mind the presence of pets as long as they are friendly. **Note: I only accept cash or check payments**

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.

Most importantly, I value open communication with parents and consistency with family routines, so you can feel confident your child is well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable childcare that gives parents peace of mind and children a safe, supportive, and fun space. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s life!

My name is Dayana Leach, and I have over 7 years of childcare experience, including 4 years as a Pre-K aide in an elementary school and 3 years working as a full-time nanny. I have had the joy of caring for children ranging from newborns through 5th grade, and I love helping each child grow and thrive at their own stage of development. With certifications in CPR and First Aid, as well as classroom experience as a teacher’s aide, I bring both safety and structure to my care. I balance being calm and nurturing with creativity and fun—whether that means planning engaging activities, supporting learning, or simply being a steady and loving presence throughout the day. I am also a new mom to a 2-month-old, and I’m looking to welcome another child into my home to provide care alongside my little one. I believe this creates a warm, family-like environment where children can play, learn, and grow together. As a Christian, I strive to live out my faith in my daily life and in the way I care for children—by modeling kindness, patience, and love in everything I do. I’m comfortable with driving, daily routines, meal prep, and homework help, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and encouraging space for kids. Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy building long-term connections with both children and parents.
