Hi! I'm Chandini, I'm a college student at Ohio State studying accounting. I love babysitting and getting to meet new families and people. I have 4 younger cousins who I have taken care of since I was 15 and it's been so fun watching them grow up! I love playing with kids whether its making up games or helping with homework. I mostly watch children 8-13 but I can watch younger kids as well. I am very responsible, I have a scholarship to OSU and I have earned a Big Ten All Academic award as well as a Scholar of Distinction Award while being a Division 1 fencer. I can cook, clean, run errands, and help with laundry! I am super flexible and can't wait to work with you.
