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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.
