Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)
Hello! I am an youth mentor and artist in Columbus. I have supported youth in a variety of settings over the past ten years and am comfortable with infants through teenagers. I've taught art, cooking, gardening, science, math, social studies, language arts, and nature-based exploration for afterschool programs, summer camps, and as a school teacher. I am patient, caring, and compassionate with youth while also maintaining structures and routines. I work well with parents and caregivers to meet the needs of your specific family. I am organized, punctual, and clean, respectful, and a good communicator. Please feel free to send me booking requests or a direct message of inquiry. Thank you!
Hi there, Nice to meet you! I'm Omy, I bring over 5 years of experience, and I'd love to help you with the most precious thing of your life, your children! I'm from Spain, raised in a beautiful archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean known as the Canary Islands. I love to speak to kids in Spanish so they can learn from my culture too! I strongly believe that having a caregiver from a different culture really exposes and expands your child's mind. Only accepting payments via cash. Please, do not hesitate to contact me to discuss more details. Looking forward to hearing from you!
“We feel so lucky to have had Omy as our nanny! We’re sad our schedules don’t align any more, but we’re happy to recommend Omy to the next lucky family to work with her! Omy was dependable, responsible, and always there when we needed her. She was able to really connect with the kids, she really got them. A few more things: - Omy is also a great and safe driver and has her own car - Omy has excellent bilingual communication skills (English and Spanish) - Omy is healthy and energetic and fantastic about encouraging healthy habits - Omy’s very organized and on top of things like schedules, lunches, etc. Maybe last thing to add is that there were a few times where due to unforeseen circumstances we needed extra unexpected help and Omy went above and beyond to adjust her schedule to help us out. This was far beyond what we’d normally expect and showed Omy really cared about the kids and helping us out. I highly recommend Omy! She’s wonderful and was great to work with!”
Hi families! My name is Laura, and I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny currently completing my degree in special education. I‘m looking for a new full time position starting November! I’ve worked with children of all ages—from 3 months to 14 years—through my years as a full-time nanny, babysitter (since age 16!), and camp counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of special needs, and I love integrating what I’m learning in my teaching degree into the way I care for and engage with kids. Whether it’s bedtime stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, tutoring, or helping with routines and transitions, I bring energy, empathy, and structure to every family I work with. I’d love to support your family, whether you need a dependable date-night sitter or more regular help. I’m happy to provide references and look forward to connecting!
“Laura was great with my kid! I had the sense he was in really good hands with her. ”
Hi my name is Dessie. I have experience with babysitting children and dogs. I have past experience with childcare and also currently babysit from time to time. I used to work as a childcare facilitator, where I would do arts and crafts, learning activities, prepared snacks and schedule downtime for the littles. I currently babysit when time allows it and love to do art projects and fun creative sensory games with pantry foods. I also encourage to meet before babysitting to ensure it is a good fit. My experience with dogs has been in a span of several years whether is walking, dog sitting, or just taking care of my own. I have a dog of my own that is very sweet and gentle. In the past I would dog sit for a lot of friends and would also do dog walking for strangers (through dog-walking app) from time to time. I have always loved dogs and have been volunteering at shelters here are there. Outside of childcare and dog care. I work an administrative job for an environmental sustainable company. I often spend my down time rock climbing, running and organizing/ cleaning spaces. I thrive in an environment where I can organize and clean. Often if I am babysitting or dog sitting I will clean the home as much as I can when asked to. If that’s not something you’d like I will respect your space and home but will definitely clean after your pup or child. I know it’s tough finding someone to trust to be in your home and take care of your loved ones so I also encourage that having a nanny cam or pet cam to check in is a good way to have a piece of mind and am always open to any suggestions or constructive criticisms. If you have any questions please reach out. Thank you!
“I cannot recommend Dessrie highly enough when it comes to caring for dogs. She is not only patient, attentive, and deeply responsible, but she also has a natural connection with animals that puts both pets and their owners at ease. What stands out most about Dessrie is the level of trust you can place in her. She is dependable, communicative, and treats every dog as if they were her own. Whether it’s ensuring their safety, giving them the right amount of exercise, or providing plenty of love and attention, she goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly great with dogs, Dessrie is the person you can count on without hesitation”
