Find experienced nannies in Ostrander, OH

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

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 2-month-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.

I am mother of 3. Love children and very safe sitter.  I have many years experience and I am very reliable.  I live in NW area but will travel up to 30 miles.  I love crafts, movies and nature walks. I have allergies to cats. So if you read my profile, please make note. thank you and enjoy your day!

Hello! My name is Flor de Canela, which means "Flower of Cinnamon" in Spanish, a name that reflects both warmth and care. I go by Mrs. Flor, and I bring a thoughtful, experienced approach to every family I support. With over 25 years of combined childcare experience, I’ve cared for children in many roles, including raising my own son full-time, babysitting for neighborhood families, and volunteering in classrooms and children’s community events. I’ve also supported families through a (vetted) local sitting service and am now expanding my availability through additional trusted platforms. Families describe me as gentle, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m naturally organized, calm under pressure, and very attuned to children’s needs. My experience ranges from infants to preteens, and I’m comfortable managing routines, light tidying, and structured activities such as outdoor walks, quiet reading time, creative play, and snack prep. I look forward to meeting families who are seeking someone mature, grounded, and creative, someone who can be both a calm presence and a joyful helper in their home. -CPR + First Aid certified -Background screening available upon request -Valid driver’s license, insured, reliable transportation (driving record screening available)
