A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Shay, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children of various age groups. I’ve spent 1 year caring for school-aged children in an after-school program and 2 years as an assistant teacher working with infants and toddlers (birth to age 3). I enjoy helping children grow, learn, and reach developmental milestones.

I’m currently a psychology student at Circleville Bible College. I hold a Child Development Associate certificate along with current CPR/Basic First Aid certifications. I’m seeking a full-time childcare position, Monday-Friday from 8:30-4:30pm. My starting rate is $25/hour and will increase depending on the number of children.

I’m seeking a long-term position with a family that offers benefits and is open to a nanny contract that ensures protection and clarity for both parties.

I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping and preparing meals for the children. I look forward to working with a family where I can make a positive difference every day!

A little bit about me

My name is Hila, I am a mom to Lyla, a freshman OSU student. I have experience caring for infants and toddlers, most recently taking care of Maya. I started working with Maya's family when she turned three months, until her first birthday, when she joined daycare. I have experience working with toddlers in different daycare settings, in the US and abroad.

I believe in nurture through communication, warmth, consistency, and age appropriate challenges. When caring for infants, I find talking, listening to music, reading books, playing, looking at flash cards, engaging in sensory activities, encouraging tummy time, taking walks outside, and interacting with other babies all to be very important, each activity promoting a different aspect of development.
Working with toddlers, I follow the same philosophy, with emphasis on education, tactile learning, and gross motor skills development.

I speak fluent English & Hebrew.

and CPR certifications available.

A little bit about me

Hey! My name is Dream, I’m a young babysitter/nanny. I’ve been doing it for about two years. I’ve watched children from the ages 0-14 years old. I will be 18 years old next year. I’m a Christian, great with kids & parents! I’m very nice & helpful around the house, I’m willing to do laundry, meal prep, & whatever else you need me to do. My availability is most likely always open. Only times I’m not available is sunday mornings because I will be attending church at that time from [phone number hidden] ish. Anything else you want to ask you can reach out & I respond pretty quickly. I know how to do cpr & stop a choking kid if I have to, but I keep a close look out so that’s nothing you’d have to worry about, I’m very high alert & pay close attention.
