Hello future families! I have been kid wrangling since middle school and am the oldest of four. I graduated from CSCC in 2011 with a degree in Early Childhood Development and then again in 2017 with a degree in Social and Human Services. I spent most of my 14 year preschool career with toddlers and Pre-K but have been with all age groups over that time period. Currently a Paraprofessional at a Southwest City School Kindergarten. I enjoy spending time at my cabin in the Hocking Hills, going to library and COSI, going to concerts/movies, and playing euchre. (References available.)

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.

$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.
