Robin is amazing. She's on time and always prepared. I wish we could keep her forever. Her word really is her bond. She cooked dinner every night for the family (evening babysitting), and she always brought crafts and activities to do with the children. I would hire her again in a second.

Hi! I'm Thayna (pronounced “Tynah”), 26 years old, and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position. Before moving here, I volunteered at a shelter where I cared for children ages 1 to 15. I have experience with children of different ages and families. Currently, I work 3 days in the mornings taking care of an infant, and I also babysit toddlers (2 and 4 years old) on Saturdays. In the past, I’ve cared for other families as well, including three children ages 4, 6, and 7 for several months and another family’s children ages 9 and 11 for two years. I truly love spending time with kids and always do my best to support their growth and happiness. I am patient, flexible, responsible, friendly, and loving. I have my own car, am comfortable with pets, and can provide references upon request. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and energy to another family in need of childcare support.

Anna went above and beyond our children. She helped shape our children’s future by talking with them, engaging with them in activities and teaching them along the way. She communicated with them in a way that not only did they understand but retained the vocabulary as well. Other examples include teaching our children how to dress themselves to helping our children with potty training. She was an instrument in my children’s life and will always be a part of our family. I give Anna the highest of reviews.

We had Jenna nanny for our 1 and 2.5 year old full time for a week before they started daycare and have used her as a sitter since then. She's fantastic; she's reliable, the kids love her, she comes up with fun things to do with them such as walks to the park, filling up the kiddie pool, play-doh, reading books etc. She prepared their snacks and lunch, kept up with the potty training schedule, put them down for naps. We highly recommend her as a nanny and sitter!

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.
