Hi, dear family! My name is Evilyn, I am 25 years old and I am from Brazil. I have experience with childcare for all ages for at least 5 years, but I have much more experience with toddlers and infants since I was an Au Pair and took care of to kids from 0 to 3 years old. I am affectionate, easy going, helpful and energetic. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Also, I have my California driver's license, so I am available to pick up and drop off children.
“Evilyn was very kind and caring with our children. She did very well with the baby. She's able to help out around the house beyond child care as well!”
I started working in after-school programs when i was 15years old. I was a daycare provider for 15years. I have my associates in childcare development. My passion is working with children.
“I made arrangements literally at the last minute and she accommodated me and my 3 sons. My boys fell in love with her immediately. She is very professional and I felt comfortable with her positive energy she brought into my home. Thank you Ms Sagirah, we are definitely gonna see you again…PS my sons can’t stop saying your name..lol”
Hello! I am an youth mentor and artist in Columbus. I have supported youth in a variety of settings over the past ten years and am comfortable with infants through teenagers. I've taught art, cooking, gardening, science, math, social studies, language arts, and nature-based exploration for afterschool programs, summer camps, and as a school teacher. I am patient, caring, and compassionate with youth while also maintaining structures and routines. I work well with parents and caregivers to meet the needs of your specific family. I am organized, punctual, and clean, respectful, and a good communicator. Please feel free to send me booking requests or a direct message of inquiry. Thank you!
Hi! I’m Claudia, a caring and dependable childcare professional with 10+ years of experience working with children and families. I have a BA in Psychology and a background in education, teaching, literacy intervention, behavioral support, and long term nannying. I’ve worked with children from newborns through their teenage years and have experience with homework, reading, school routines, activities, transportation, and everyday care. I’ve also worked as a family assistant, helping with the day to day needs of busy families. I’m organized, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy working with children. I love creating a balance of structure and fun through reading, games, outdoor activities, crafts, and learning. I especially enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and finding activities they are excited about. I also speak English and Spanish fluently and have knowledge of Portuguese. I’m currently looking for occasional and weekend childcare opportunities and would love to be a dependable extra set of hands for your family! I have references upon request!
“very capable and kind. prompt and helpful.”
I graduated with a degree in design, which has fueled my creativity and nurtured my ability to engage children in imaginative and enriching activities. With over five years of babysitting experience and a close-knit family dynamic, including caring for my three energetic nephews, I've honed my skills in fostering a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids. On a personal note, I'm an avid reader and nature enthusiast, and I love sharing my passions with curious young minds.
“Liliana has taken care of our son multiple afternoons over the past couple of weeks and has been great to work with in all respects - flexible, patient, creative, and reliable. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and look forward to having her back!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
