Booked by 1 family in Canal Winchester, OH

I have worked as a classroom assistant for childcare center from 2[removed]. I helped teachers supervise children during play, implement lessons, and help during bathroom/diapering. I worked with ages 6 weeks to 6 years-old. I have a BA in Psychology and also hold a MSW and was a child and family therapist for 10 years. Currently, I am transitioning to focus on writing and music career, and would like part time work to support myself. I'm flexible, independent, and fun. I believe in making children feel safe above all things. I love music, art, dance, and games and share those activities with children. I am dancer with education and teaching experience in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and musical theater. I have play piano and bass currently.

“It’s our first time working with Angelique. So far our 1 and 2 year old didn’t fuss. They played with her and did not cry ”

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Natalie. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 10 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, and I currently work from home as an Account Manager for Vibrant Wellness Labs. I’m very hands-on and always engaged with the kids, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or keeping them active. I keep a clean, tidy house and am happy to help with household tasks. I’m CPR certified, love playing soccer, walking my dog, and cooking healthy meals.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
