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 I'm Ushio, I have raised/cared for children for over 9years. I love being around children and like to introduce them basic sciences. I have Recognition of Excellence Award in Praxis in Biological Sciences and also have experience teaching at a Japanese supplemental school (junior high schoolers). My expertise is in ecological science but can also teach Japanese, basic math, and other sciences to some extent. I'm a native Japanese speaker, so If you would like your little ones to learn Japanese, I can teach them while I babysit :) Depending on the situation/children's interests, I can introduce types of insects, periodic table, and have some story books based on ecological theories. If you don't mind a bit of mess, I can also provide a little at home experiments (using all safe materials such as salt, sugar, food coloring etc.). I focus on the interests of each child and try to provide them with a fun time to help them recognize that the learning is fun. *I don't do strict tutoring/teaching. I can also simply play with them. I will jump with them at trampoline place, will get in the water at swim class, and play tags with them at park...I play seriously :) Available Fri evening & some Sunday afternoon. Single parent discount available. Look forward hearing from you! Ushio

Hello my name is Kourtney, and I am an experienced childcare provider with over seven years of babysitting and nannying experience. I have worked with children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—and have extensive experience supporting children with disabilities. My background includes working at a bilingual preschool, where I gained valuable classroom and developmental knowledge, as well as serving as a Sunday School teacher for over a year, fostering a warm, supportive learning environment. I am skilled in a wide range of childcare responsibilities, including cleaning, cooking, helping with homework, dressing, bathing, and transporting children to and from school or activities. I am dedicated, patient, and passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging experiences for every child in my care.

I’m currently looking to provide part-time childcare from now until I begin my full-time engineering job at the end of July. I recently graduated from The Ohio State University in May with a degree in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). I began babysitting about eight years ago and spent five years with the same family, serving as their summer nanny while caring for children from infancy through elementary school. I love watching kids learn and grow, and I enjoy being part of that experience. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor, provided part-time substitute teaching for children in Pre-K through 5th grade, and volunteered with College Mentors for Kids. I’ve also supported children with diverse needs through volunteering at camps for kids with disabilities, which strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to create supportive, inclusive environments. I’m comfortable with pets and love keeping kids engaged through creative, hands-on activities, outdoor play, games, and crafts rather than relying heavily on screens. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, reading, or summer schoolwork when applicable. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel supported and excited to learn.

I hold degrees and social work and child welfare. I have extensive knowledge of children development, having been been an educator from infants through Elementary ages. My attitude is fun and hardworking at the same time! I'm a ray of sunshine who gets the job done. I come from a family of 11 children and family means everything to me. I've also worked extensively with the disabled and elderly, so I'm extremely compassionate and patient. I'm hoping to blend seamlessly into a family's lifestyle to help everyday go a little better when possible.

With two years of professional childcare experience complemented by over five years of caring for children in home settings, I am dedicated to creating nurturing environments that foster children's growth and independence. As I pursue my bachelor's degree in early childhood education, my mission is to empower young learners with independent thinking skills, laying the foundation for their future success. I cherish outdoor experiential learning, using nature as a classroom to ignite their curiosity and imagination. As an early childhood educator, my commitment is to provide a nurturing, enriching, and inspiring space for children to embark on their educational journey, equipped with the skills and enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
