Hi! My name is Sydney and I recently moved to Columbus, OH from Charlotte, NC. I have spent the past 4 years nannying for 3 families in Charlotte while getting my B.S. in psychology. I am entering a graduate program for Human Developmental and Family Sciences at Ohio State University this fall and hoping to find a family to babysit or nanny for! I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children. I am easy-going, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and absolutely love time with children!

Taeler $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Taeler! I’m currently a full time preschool teacher with infants. As a childcare provider with five years of experience, I'm dedicated to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children. My journey began when I discovered my passion for childcare through previous babysitting roles. I find great joy in positively impacting children's lives and supporting families. Patience, creativity, problem solving, and approachability are my key strengths. I believe in open communication with parents, providing daily written reports (if needed) and engaging in verbal discussions during pickup. I'm confident in enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. From board games and puzzles to educational games that promote learning, I enjoy a wide range of activities with children. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, aged between 0 and 11 particularly focusing on the 0-3 age group. I'm happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks, and I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications.

Cynthia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I have a background in psychology/ education and a natural ability to connect with both children and animals. I’m warm, calm, and attentive—and I truly enjoy providing a safe, caring environment. Child Care I care for one child at a time so I can give them my full attention. I enjoy creative and educational play, and I’m experienced with young children, especially through my time with my grandbaby. I’m happy to help with basic routines, light meals, and keeping your child engaged in fun, age-appropriate ways. Pet Care I also offer pet sitting for one dog at a time. My deep experience comes from caring for my own dog for 13 wonderful years. I’m now a grand-dog mom too! I’m happy to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your pet, and I’m comfortable with dogs that shed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, calm, and kind, I’d love to support your family—whether human or furry.
