Hello families! My name is Jacinda. I am currently double majoring in international business and Latin American culture/literature at The Ohio State University. I have an associates degree from Westmoreland County Community College. I am a pet friendly sitter with a passion for working with children of all ages. I have worked with children as young as 6 weeks to 13 years old. I enjoy helping children to meet evolving milestones and accomplish their goals. I have worked in childcare facilities for 3 years now though I had much experience babysitting family and friends before that. I can help with many needs such as diapering, meal prep, house chores, and more! I am CPR/First Aid certified as well as have my background clearances. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
I am an older sister of 2 sisters and 5 brothers. I have taken care of them my whole life and am very good with kids. I volunteered at a daycare/ summer camp taking care of infants in the mornings and school age children in the afternoon once school let out. I graduated OSU 2 years ago and would love to help with homework. If you need someone to drop off or pickup I would be available since my full time job is work from home and flexible. I am also available to baby-sit overnight if really needed on weekdays and for sure on weekends. I do live with a partner and am willing to have them meet with parents as well. They are also a current OSU student in grad school for architecture.
Hi, I am a graduate from The Ohio State University and am looking to help families out! I am offering child care, senior care or house hold services. I love babysitting and have been babysitting for over 11 years, and children of all age ranges. Children truly bring joy to my life and look forward to babysitting your children!! I also work as a house assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I am also comfortable with senior care. Driving to appointments, cooking, cleaning, or even just being there and playing cards. I love animals, so pets are always a bonus :)
“Very fun, plays big time with kids, would definitely hire again ”

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! I also have 4 years of pet sitting services as well.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"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."
