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.
Hello! My name is Erinn. I am 33 years and have a 15 year old daughter. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s degree in Special Education with a certification in Autism Spectrum Disorders. I have been working with children for 12 years and teaching for 10 years. I am currently a Pre-K teacher for Columbus City Schools. I love working with children of all ages.
Hello, my name is Alex! I am a recent graduate of OSU with a psychology degree, and I am now looking to save up for graduate school. I love spending time outdoors in nature or inside watching movies and reading with my cat. I have 5+ years of experience with elementary to middle school aged kids. A lot of my experience comes from my position as latchkey counselor within my school district’s elementary schools, as well as my time babysitting for multiple families in my area. Alongside my experience watching kids, I also have years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats and multiple years of professionally cleaning houses that were being prepared to go on the market. I always bring an upbeat, energetic, and kind attitude towards any work I do. This allows for a warm, welcoming, and positive environment that the kids will absolutely love. I am very big on allowing children to be who they are by encouraging them to be creative and by participating in their activities and games. I’m available for nights any day of the week, with possible availability for some mornings or afternoons. I hope we make a great match and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time! :)
Hi, I am a graduate from The Ohio State University and am looking to help families out! I am offering child care, senior care or house hold services. I love babysitting and have been babysitting for over 11 years, and children of all age ranges. Children truly bring joy to my life and look forward to babysitting your children!! I also work as a house assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I am also comfortable with senior care. Driving to appointments, cooking, cleaning, or even just being there and playing cards. I love animals, so pets are always a bonus :)
Hi! I’m Natalie. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 10 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, and I currently work from home as an Account Manager for Vibrant Wellness Labs. I’m very hands-on and always engaged with the kids, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or keeping them active. I keep a clean, tidy house and am happy to help with household tasks. I’m CPR certified, love playing soccer, walking my dog, and cooking healthy meals.
