Hello there! My name is Valentina Delgado. I am an experienced nanny over 5 years working with kids from 8 months to 12 years old. In case you need any references, I can share with you upon your request. I have been working with the same family for last three years and the youngest girl is going to school now. I am available to work during weekdays from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and anytime on weekends. Feel free to reach out in case you have any questions. Thank you!
I am an ER Physician Assistant waiting to begin my job in April/May! I love kiddos and am looking to help families out while supplementing my income before beginning my career. My previous experience includes babysitting, working with children and adults with developmental disabilities, and working in a pediatric hospital. I spent 4 years as an ER tech at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH which is a Level 1 trauma center so I am very informed on safety, illness prevention, and complex medical conditions. I have experience with infants 0 days old all the way up to 18 year olds. I absolutely adore younger kids and babysitting opportunities so I can have fun doing crafts and playing outside! I grew up in Denver, CO and love the outdoors and really enjoy taking kiddos outside when possible and away from their tablets. I also grew up with cats and currently have two so I am very comfortable with them. I also love dogs and have experience dog sitting.
“Super fast response and short notice acceptance - greatly appreciated! Morgan was great with our almost 4 year old son. Would absolutely hire again!”
Hi, My name is Alexandra! Caring for kids has always come naturally to me - I'm someone who genuinely loves providing calm, nurturing care and helping little ones feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I started working with kids in high school when I got to assist classes for kids ages 2-9 years at my dance studio. Since then, I've babysat for multiple families with children a variety of ages and spent two years working at a city daycare, caring for children from 6 months to 6 years old. Through that experience, I discovered that I especially love working with infants and toddlers and am drawn to the more nurturing side of caregiving. I studied psychology in college with the initial goal of becoming a teacher, and while my career path ultimately led elsewhere, my passion for caring for children has not left. I currently work full-time in a corporate setting, which has made me very reliable, organized, and communicative - qualities I would also bring to a caregiving role. Due to this schedule, I am mostly available on evenings and weekends, but can also provide some mother's helper care during the day and can be flexible! I am energetic, attentive, clean and responsible, and I take pride in being someone that parents can rely on and truly trust. I love supporting families and caring for children, and I'm grateful to be able to do meaningful work with little ones while helping out families before I have children of my own.
“We were lucky enough to have Alexandra as our neighbor and primary baby sitter when my children were in elementary school. She was incredibly engaged and always pulled together fun activities for them. I have two very different children and she was great at meeting both of their needs. Whether they were playing a game in the yard or doing a craft, they were always so excited to spend time with her! We as a family loved getting to know Alexandra. She is beyond genuine. She's kind, caring and extremely dependable. Our kids have aged out of needing a sitter but we stay in touch. I would highly recommend Alexandra to any family with infants up to grade school children. She is a wonderful babysitter!”
Hi! My name is Annika, I work as an Apparel Merchandise Manager at Cintas. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in May 2025 with a Bachelors degree in Business. I was very involved on campus with Greek life & philanthropy organizations. I am offering child care, pet care, & household services. I love being a babysitter & spending time with kids! I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor & babysitter for multiple years for families of all ages. I have primarily worked with kids from 4-12 years old. My responsibilities have included driving kids to school or extra curricular activities, cooking, cleaning, & playing indoor or outdoor games. I love arts & crafts, playing board games, or going on walks! I have my own cat & have experience taking care & walking dogs while watching up to 3 children at once.
With over a decade of professional experience in child care; lifeguard, swim instructor, children's birthday entertainer, substitute teacher, and daycare worker/pre-k teacher, I have just about every child imaginable. I've also been babysitting since I was 12, for my parents, cousins, friends, and the occasional co-worker who needed a night off. I've seen all ages, 6m-17y. I like to think I connect with children so well because I truly am just a big kid at heart. But I also know when play time is over and to be firm, but fair. I have training in basic first aid, CPR, basic diabetic care, certified in anaphylactic safety, certified in allergy safety, certified in food handling and safety.
“Hailey is great! She checked in beforehand for any specific directions and showed up at our home a little early, ready to engage with the kids. She is kind and personable, the kids really enjoyed her being here, and we will see her again! ”
