Ashlynn $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ashlynn and I am going into my senior year at Ohio State University. I work at Ohio State’s childcare center, through which I am CPR and First Aid certified and take care of children 0-5. I have been working there for about 3 years, and seeing the children learn and getting to know them is one of the greatest joys of my life. Outside of the center, I’ve babysat since I was 16. I’m energetic, patient, and most of all, I love kids. My primarily language is English, but I am an ASL double major at school and would love to teach your children some signs if that is something you are open to. I can’t wait to meet your family and see if we’re a great fit :)

Hi! My name is Sophie and I'm a 23 year old Poetry MFA student at Columbia. I adore working with children, and am passionate about the patience, care, and creativity that it takes to give children the love they need! As well as being an experienced babysitter since I was thirteen, I have been a preschool teacher since I was a junior in High school, working at Shirat Hayam preschool of the North Shore from 2[removed] and the Preschool of the Arts Cambridge as a full-time preschool assistant during the summer of 2021 and 2023. There, I worked in the infant classroom as well as substituting for the 4-5 year old class. After graduating from Bennington College in 2023, I also worked as an English teacher in Kazakhstan for seven months, teaching classrooms of teenagers. It's very important to me that I create a safe, open, and fun environment where kids can feel their best to explore and feel grounded. I am skilled at creating projects and games for children, changing diapers, and well-versed in caring for infants. I am CPR certified. Feel free to contact me about references!
