Booked by 1 family in Lockbourne, OH

I am very experienced, responsible, loving and compassionate and energetic! I have two sons who are 24 and 28. (one has epilepsy and one has ADHD) I also have two stepdaughters who are 13 and 15 (one is ASD) I have always had a passion for taking care of babies, children and animals. I worked at my aunt's in home daycare when I was younger. She has a degree in early childhood development. She taught me ways (that still have an impact on me) to provide a nurturing and safe environment and fun ways to instill learning I am a nonsmoker, have reliable transportation and high comfort level with animals. I currently take care of my friend's baby on their date nights, have been taking care of her since she was born. She is now 14 months. I recently left my career in corrections (8/24/25) for a career that is more rewarding. For me, that is helping people. I have a BA in Criminology (minor in Soc) from Capital. My CPR and First Aid certifications are through Franklin County (copies available) I currently nanny part time for 3 families on week days (ages 7 months to 10 years old). I am also a available on occasional weekday evenings and weekends.

Hi! I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with over three years of experience working with children in both home and church settings. I’ve been a nanny to an 8-year-old boy, a 5-year-old girl, and their sweet dog for about a year. I’ve also served in the childcare ministry at my church for two years, where I gained valuable experience caring for children of all ages. I also write children’s books, so I love engaging kids in storytelling, crafts, and other creative activities that spark imagination and build confidence. I’m passionate about providing a safe environment where children can thrive emotionally, spiritually, and developmentally. I believe every child deserves to be protected, encouraged, and loved just like family. I’d love to support your family with care you can truly count on!
