Hi! I’m Betsy. I’m a preschool teacher on the UWS and I have 2 children of my own (ages 10 and 12). My background is in theater and I love being silly, storytelling, and arts and crafts!

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 :)

Maggie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Maggie and I’m excited to apply for the caregiver position. I bring with me a strong sense of responsibility, deep compassion, and a genuine love for helping others. I’ve always believed that caregiving is not just a job—it’s a commitment of the heart. I take pride in being reliable and trustworthy, showing up consistently for the people, children, pets or homes I care for, both emotionally and physically. Whether it's assisting with daily tasks, providing companionship, chasing a toddler or simply being a calming presence, I give my full attention and respect to the individual’s needs. My honesty and loyalty are values I live by. Families who have trusted me with their loved one, thier homes and or fur babies have always appreciated my open communication, integrity, and long-term dedication. each person, child, pet and home I care for as if they were my own family—with kindness, dignity, and love. Being a caregiver is more than a role to me—it’s a calling. And I am committed to making a positive, meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve. Thank you for considering me. I would be honored to bring my heart and skills into your home. Sincerely Maggie
