Hi! My name is Maddy and I’m a recent graduate from the Ohio State University. I just earned my bachelors in Special Education and I begin teaching in the fall. I love kids, I’m the oldest of 9 and I’m great with pets too! I have 2 huskies of my own and I’m recently married. I’m so excited for a summer of great opportunities!
I am very experienced, responsible, loving and compassionate and energetic! I have two sons who are 24 and 28. (one has epilepsy and one has ADHD) I also have two stepdaughters who are 13 and 15 (one is ASD) I have always had a passion for taking care of babies, children and animals. I worked at my aunt's in home daycare when I was younger. She has a degree in early childhood development. She taught me ways (that still have an impact on me) to provide a nurturing and safe environment and fun ways to instill learning I am a nonsmoker, have reliable transportation and high comfort level with animals. I currently take care of my friend's baby on their date nights, have been taking care of her since she was born. She is now 14 months. I recently left my career in corrections (8/24/25) for a career that is more rewarding. For me, that is helping people. I have a BA in Criminology (minor in Soc) from Capital. My CPR and First Aid certifications are through Franklin County (copies available) I currently nanny part time for 3 families on week days (ages 7 months to 10 years old). I am also a available on occasional weekday evenings and weekends.
Hi! I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with over three years of experience working with children in both home and church settings. I’ve been a nanny to an 8-year-old boy, a 5-year-old girl, and their sweet dog for about a year. I’ve also served in the childcare ministry at my church for two years, where I gained valuable experience caring for children of all ages. I also write children’s books, so I love engaging kids in storytelling, crafts, and other creative activities that spark imagination and build confidence. I’m passionate about providing a safe environment where children can thrive emotionally, spiritually, and developmentally. I believe every child deserves to be protected, encouraged, and loved just like family. I’d love to support your family with care you can truly count on!
Hello my name is Jennifer. I have been watching kids for 10+ years including from babies to school aged kids. I am offering childcare. My responsibilities have been picking kids up from school and helping with school work.
Hello!! My name is Jackie; I’m a recent Marietta College graduate earning my BA in strategic communications!! I am offering childcare, senior care, & household services! I’ve been working professionally in childcare the last two years with a nonprofit educational foundation working with children ages 3+. I am CPR certified & have had multiple online state certified trainings. I also have worked privately for families with up to 4 children youngest being 3 mo since I was 15! My responsibilities have included driving to/from daycare, crafts, homework, enrichment activities, & more! While I have more experience in childcare I am comfortable working with seniors as well! I spent time in college volunteering with the local senior center preparing meals, assisting with activities, and helping with transportation duties! I am comfortable with cooking, driving, & other tasks for any age! (I’m also great Euchre partner and a big Disney fan lol!!!) Love all animals especially cats & dogs!
