Hello! I have been loving and caring for children for over 20 years now. I have cared for children ranging from infancy to pre-teens. When I care for a family I prefer a structured yet fun atmosphere. I have done lesson plans including but not limited to baby sign language, colors, numbers, alphabet, days of the week, shapes and months (English and Spanish). With music and arts and crafts as well. I also enjoy outings such as the zoo, Cosi, splash pads and other attractions within the central ohio area. I truly believe living and caring for a child cannot be taught it truly is a passion. I hope to hear from you soon!

I cannot recommend Alejandra highly enough. She started caring for our son when he was just 11 months old, and she stayed with our family as he grew into a thriving, active toddler. Watching her seamlessly adapt her care as our son's needs changed has been an absolute joy. When our baby was an infant she was incredibly nurturing, patient, and attentive. She was a lifesaver with establishing a solid nap schedule, managing bottle feedings, and encouraging milestone developments like tummy time and crawling. She kept meticulous daily updates that gave us complete peace of mind while at work. As our son transitioned into a toddler, Alejandra effortlessly shifted gears to keep up with the new energy levels. She introduced creative educational play, daily outdoor exploration, sensory activities, and helped us successfully navigate toddler speech development, including Spanish. She balances warmth with gentle, consistent boundaries. Alejandra is punctual, highly communicative, and deeply trustworthy. She didn’t just watch our child—she became an extension of our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!

Hi everyone, I'm Blessing! I was born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland but originally from The Democratic Republic of Congo. I have been living in Columbus for almost 3 years now and am currently working on getting a degree in Political Science. I've been volunteering and working with children closely for 7 years now, working at variety of children facilities and non-profits. I hope to take those experiences and start my own non-profit organization one day. Some of my hobbies include dancing, cooking, and binge-watching different T.V shows. I'm a big pasta lover and can eat pasta all day everyday but I also enjoy trying new foods. I love doing anything arts and crafts and love the color pink. I look forward to creating some fun memories!

Eliana was great! Our toddler can be pretty shy but he hit it off with her pretty quickly! She took great care of him.

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 1 year-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.
