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 :)

Camille $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camille, and I am 21 years old. I am offering childcare and household services. I am currently a student at Fordham University, but I am from New Orleans, LA! I have been babysitting since I was 15, so I have over 6 years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I can also work as a household assistant, having previously worked as a personal assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I am very extroverted, and I would consider myself outgoing and enthusiastic. I love arts and crafts, playing board games, and cooking! I am happy to work with families that have pets. I love animals!

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

$38 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mica! I LOVE working with kids and families. I have a TON of experience and consider myself a natural caretaker with a very loving, engaged and nurturing approach. In my over 20 years of experience working as a childcare provider, I have worked for over 60 families and watched literally hundreds of children. I've worked with some families for over 10 years, watching as their family grew from one 2 year old to having four kids! From newborn to middle school, but with the majority of my experience being with newborns and infants to young elementary. My mother was a nursery school teacher and my siblings and I worked summers at their nursery school camp program, which is where I had a lot of parents asking me to babysit from there. I worked occasionally as a substitute assistant teacher at that same nursery school as well. I have a B.A. in Psychology and took classes on developmental psychology, studying attachment theory and so on. A little more about my background: I am the oldest child in my family and even amongst extended family and family friends children, so since I was a child myself I've been put in charge of watching the younger kids! But I started babysitting officially at 14. I also have young nieces and nephew who I've watched extensively as well :) I am half Japanese and grew up living in Japan at least every other summer. I speak a little Japanese and know a little Spanish as well and consider myself very culturally sensitive. I've also taken cross-cultural psychology and just have a real love of other cultures, I've worked for multiple families with immigrant parents and bilingual children :) Some personal interests are health and wellness/fitness/dance, healthy plant based cooking, volunteering, music! I sing and play a little guitar and love when the kids get excited about that as well! I drive and have my own car, I've taken children to and from every activity including doctors appointments. I've done overnights, full weekends and have traveled internationally with families. I can cook/prepare meals, help with homework where needed and do some light housekeeping as well if desired. I have experience with elderly relatives in the home with dementia, etc, and experience with pet and plant sitting. I am open and flexible! :) Feel free to ask me about anything else I may have missed! Love working with and helping families and look forward to working with yours! :) Be well and looking forward to chatting! :) -Mica

“Mica is the ultimate baby whisperer. She worked for us when my daughter was a newborn, helping us as first time parents immensely. Mica helped with diaper changes, feeding (which was an exceptional challenge for us in the early days), and sleep (which was another big challenge!). We continue to use Mica for occasional babysitting for the last 2.5 years and recommend her to other families in our neighborhood. My daughter does not take to new people easily but instantly fell in love with Mica and goes to her with ease when I need to step out. Mica is the best!”
