Kara M., Babysitter in Columbus, OH 43201 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Janiel P., Babysitter in Columbus, OH 43201 with 10 years of paid experience

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!

Makayla A., Babysitter in Columbus, OH 43201 with 15 years of paid experience

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.

Corlette M., Babysitter in Columbus, OH 43201 with 5 years of paid experience

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.
