Find experienced child care providers in Lockbourne, OH

Hello beautiful families of Columbus! My first name is Terra, but I go by my middle name Dominique. I have been working in childcare for almost 20 years and have cared for children of all ages in many types of settings including, but not limited to, as a martial arts instructor, preschool teacher, and private nanny. I have been certified in CPR, including for infants, and First Aid. I have a 2 year old daughter who will need to come with me on jobs most of the time. We are both very friendly and love animals and being outdoors. I practice gentle parenting with an emphasis on kindness to all living beings, including oneself, and gaining hands-on experience. I encourage new learning opportunities within a safe environment. We love parks and libraries. We also have a membership to COSI and would be happy to share that same adventure with your child. We look forward to meeting you and your munchkins!!

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.

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.

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**

Hey! I'm living in Steamboat this winter and looking to fill some of the free spots in my schedule with some baby sitting gigs. I'm very active and willing to keep up with the energized kiddos. However, I am totally cool with a cold night/day in keeping the little guys entertained indoors. If you need evening sitting or whole days based on my availability we can work something out.

🌟 Hi families! I’m Makayla — a licensed social worker and proud Children’s Hospital team member! 🌟 Caring for kids has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest child in my family, looking after little ones came naturally, and it quickly became something I genuinely love. Kids bring so much joy, curiosity, and unpredictability — every few minutes is a new adventure, and I adore that. They learn from you, you learn from them, and together you grow. 👶 My Experience I’ve worked with children in a wide variety of settings, including: • Camps • Homes • Churches • Schools I’ve cared for kids of all ages and have served as both an emergency sitter and a labor‑on‑call sitter. Some of my favorite roles include: • Camp counselor for 5th graders • Kidz Kingdom teacher for babies–5-year-olds • After‑school teacher’s aide for kindergarten & 1st grade • Babysitter for many wonderful families • Middle school girls’ soccer coach (a role I absolutely adore!) 🌈 What I Love to Do With Kids Exploring is my favorite way to connect — whether that’s trying new foods, visiting museums, heading to the zoo, checking out local parks, or spending the day at COSI. Kids are naturally curious, and exploring together builds trust, confidence, and joy. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Additional Experience • Comfortable caring for multiples (I’ve managed up to 6 kids at once!) • Experienced with infants • Overnight care available If you’re looking for someone dependable, energetic, and passionate about helping kids learn and grow, I’d love to connect!
