Hi there! I’m Jenna, i’m 25 and have been a nanny for over 6 years! I have experience with infants, toddlers, and elementary school children. I love to walk, do outdoors activities, and arts and crafts. Let me know if you would like to speak further! Thanks and have a great day! :)

Hello, my name is Miss Shae. I have been a nanny for 27 years now! I just adore children! I think they keep me young! At heart anyway! I have had every age under the rainbow, newborn to teenagers. I’m currently looking for a new position as my current position is coming to an end as the little girl is 11years old. I have been more of a personal assistant house manager for the past couple of years. I would love to meet your little ones! I will make them as happy as they make me! I look forward to the next chapter and family to become a part of!!

Hi! I'm a fourth year social work student at OSU! After I graduate in this winter, I plan to attend OSU next summer to get my master in social work. With that master degree, I would like to become a family therapist/school therapist. I’m also CPR certified. Growing up I always enjoyed taking care and being around kids. I'm pretty sure it's because I am the oldest child out of my family. It's also been in my routine to look after and care for younger ones. I love working with children because you never know what to expect from them. It's something new with them every 3 minutes. I love being around young kids because they are not only learning from you but you are learning from them. I have watched kids in many different settings including camps, homes, churches, and schools. With that being said, I have watched/drove many kids of all ages. I have served as an emergency sitter and a labor on call sitter! I was a camp counselor for 5th graders, a kidz kingdom teacher for babies-5 year old, an after school teacher aid for kindergarteners/1st graders, and have babysat for numerous amount of families. Some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos is explore. Exploring can encompass many things ranging from trying new foods, to visiting a museum, to visiting the local parks, zoo, or COSI etc. Kids are always eager to explore and it activity that can help connect and build. I have experience watching multiples. I’ve gotten up to 6 kids at one time before! I have experience with babies and overnight sitting as well.

Hello Families! My name is Sophie Ortega, I am 22 years-old, with a passion and love for working with children! I have the knowledge and experience of teaching/caring for children from age ranges of 1 year-old to 10 years-old. I I have CPR certification, clean background check documents (which I can provide to you), and have completed child behavior and wellbeing trainings, along with using those trainings throughout my time working with children. A bit about my experiences to hopefully bring you comfort in choosing me as a babysitter for your child/children: I have worked in childcare/preschool for over a year now, gaining experience and knowledge not only in meeting the demands of caring for a child properly, maintaining a safe and healthy environment, but in teaching and child development as well. I have worked in Montessori schools for the majority of my childcare career, learning the process and methods, along with the impact on mind- development using the form of teaching. I also attended a Montessori school as a child myself! Moving forward, I hope to gain experience as a nanny/babysitter, providing more focused care and become a trustworthy and caring support in your families life! I appreciate the time your family has taken to learn more about me and my experiences, I hope for the opportunity to work with your amazing child/children! If there are any questions or concerns, I would be more than happy to provide any helpful information.Thank you! Kindest regards, Sophie Ortega

Lots of experience with children! I have worked as a Nanny for the past 8 years! I have a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education and have found that working with children one or two at a time is a rewarding way for me to provide quality care and interaction. I began working with children as a Swimming Instructor as a teenager. As an adult, I studied Early Childhood Education at Ohio State University and have since provided child care to families, worked in a local preschool, worked as a substitute teacher, music teacher, and as a children's Food Educator. I am passionate about providing quality care to children. I strive to provide a safe, loving, fun and supportive environment to help children grow and develop. I believe in following the interests of the child and building upon it, encouraging them to think about things in new ways or asking them guiding questions to assist them in their learning. I also believe that rules help keep children safe and I am very practiced at maintaining the balance of fun and structure. I have a lot of experience designing lesson plans and creating activities for children. I love music and art as well as outdoor activities and believe that children need to be active and engaged in what interests them the most. I am a non-smoker and I am comfortable with animals. I just purchassed my Sitter City background check and I am up to date on my CPR certification. I have recieved all Covid-19 vaccines. I am currently looking for a class to renew my First Aid certification and I can provide excellent references. I look forward to talking with you to see if I may be a good fit for your family.

Hi, my name is Molly. I am a very social, empathetic, and fun loving person. I have done missions work most of my adult life; traveling to other countries starting schools and helping to train and educate in various parts of the world. I moved back to Ohio a couple years ago and began watching two of the sweetest kids. I loved helping them learn, planning fun days, and making sure they have the support they needed to grow. I have studied multiple languages while I was living abroad and loved having the opportunity to help kids learn new things, while trying to cater to their individual needs. Children never cease to amaze me with their creativity, ideas, and sweet smiles. I am passionate about helping children and truly want every moment they have to feel warm and exciting. Also for them to be taken care of and enjoy every moment of their childhood. I would love to find a new family to work with and help in whatever way I can.

Hello! I am Mari. I have provided child care in the Columbus area for 20+ years and, as it turned out, primarily for families in which both parents are doctors. I have a B.A. in Communications. I enjoy kiddos and have plenty of experience with transporting them to activities & appointments as well as accomplishing light housework. I would like the opportunity to talk and/or meet to see if I am a good match for your family. Thank you, Mari

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

I am an active babysitter who loves to go on outing events. I believe in gentle babysitting and building a connection with each child I take care of, no matter how little time it is that we are together. I will actively communicate with you and make sure that all of you’re child’s needs are met. A little about myself is that I’m a college student, majoring in air transportation and I’m a pilot working my way to the airlines. This is my second degree as I already have my associates in social science. I will bring my 5 month old son who is a super happy baby and loves everyone. love cooking. I don’t mind security cameras in your home, or pets. I hope to meet you and your child(ren) soon.

Hello! My name is Marissa. :) I'm an energetic, honest & reliable 27 year old from Westerville. I have 15 years of nannying experience, ages newborn-teen & I have nannied every summer since I was 12! Additionally, I have worked at a daycare, worked night shift watching a newborn, and had a class of 6 2 year olds as a toddler teacher. (As hard and playfully chaotic as it was; I absolutely loved it.) Prior to being a toddler teacher, I worked at Kinsale Golf & Fitness center in the kids club, ONE-CHURCH kids youth ministry & babysat for several well known & highly respected families in Columbus. Aside from working with kids, I have practiced real estate, started & ran a successful high-end resell business, and served at 2 high-end restaurants. With that said, working with children has brought me more joy than any of my other endeavors, and ironically serves as a form of therapy for me.
