Find experienced child care providers in Pataskala, OH

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.

Hi! my name’s Corlette! I am 22 years old and i go to OSU studying medical anthropology. I’ve worked as a lifeguard since I was 15 which has not only given me lots of experience working with kids but also means I am both CPR and first aid certified. Since college has started back up and I know a lot of grade schools are going online I thought babysitting would be a perfect job for me because I can help the kids with their school work while also working on mine! I am very active and would be happy to take the kids to any sports, activities, or run errands whatever would be convenient for you! I have class each morning at 8am and my last class finishes at 3:40pm M-F. I do have a 5 hour gap between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would be able to provide extra help 9:30am-2pm if needed during that time.

Hello! My name is Janiel, and I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic sitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I love creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where kids can learn and grow. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’m confident in handling emergencies with calmness and care. I have experience with meal preparation, light housekeeping, diaper changes, homework help, and bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable with pets, and I don’t mind lending a hand with school drop-offs/pickups or occasional errands if needed. I enjoy planning creative activities—whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, story time, or learning games—so kids stay entertained while also building new skills. 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 Erica Hackett and I am a very dedicated, fun, and educated nanny! I have 10 years worth of childcare experience. I am a certified lifeguard who is also CPR, infant CPR, & first-aid certified. I also have my associates degree in early childhood education and have attended many nanny/governess courses over the years. I have always had a very instinctive and compassionate connection with children. I have worked with a vast amount of families, but most recently, I was a full-time nanny for two families. This position is what is known as a nanny share, meaning I cared for two children each from separate families in the same home. I provided care for Sylvia and Ella since they were 3 months old. They’re now two amazing 24-month-olds ready to take on daycare! Watching them grow up together and truly become best friends was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had as a nanny. These families were such a blessing to work with, I truly loved these children and their parents as if they were my own family. We still keep in close contact and visit each other often, they’re forever a part of my life! My duties consisted of housekeeping, preparing meals for the children, grocery shopping, laundry, and taking the children to music classes or other various activities. Of course, before being a nanny, I have had many years of babysitting experience. In these years of experience, I tutored children of almost all ages, cooked & cleaned for the families, transported children to places/events such as school, sporting activities, dance class, etc. I truly love being a nanny simply because I have such a passion for the field of childcare. I hold great pride in the fact that I do not simply identify myself as a child's nanny, but also as their teacher and mentor. I understand that leaving a child with a stranger is unbelievably difficult. However, I always strive to be that nanny a parent will never need to worry about leaving their children with. I want that parent to feel confident, stress-free, and happy leaving their children with me. I am very confident that I could provide this mind easing care for all parents.

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! I’m Djinie, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids and helping them grow.

I enjoy doing creative activities, helping with homework, and making sure each child feels heard and cared for. Families I’ve worked with say I’m dependable, patient, and easy to talk to. I love what I do and always aim to make each day a good one for the kids I watch.
