A little bit about me

I'm Tiara, a college student studying at The Ohio State University. I've babysat frequently throughout the years but have 6+ years of professional experience. Previously, I served as an afterschool teacher in the Grandview Heights district, but for the last two years I've been working as a nanny for a family of three—a nine, five and a half, and 2-year-old. This included providing learning activities for the five-year-old in preparation for kindergarten, engaging the 2-year-old in age-appropriate development, carpooling, and housework. My experience in summer camps left me with a ton of ideas to keep children entertained and occupied without the use of electronics! Woo-hoo!

My certifications are: First Aid, CPR, Child Abuse, Food Allergies, Early Childhood Lesson Planning & Communicable Diseases. I also have experience with Autism, ADHD, and developmental delays.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Iris Miller. I'm 22, recently graduated from The Ohio State University, and will be beginning graduate school this fall. My undergraduate studies were in psychology with a minor in Child Abuse and Neglect. I have worked in five childcare settings- two daycares, two schools, and one summer camp- and have provided in-home care for more families than I can count! I have immense experience with children from 6 weeks to school-aged with diverse backgrounds and needs. I love building relationships with children and families and am interested in nannying while in graduate school! I’d love to connect! :)

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a incoming first year physical therapy student at Ohio State University looking for part time work outside of school hours (May-September, Monday, Friday and weekends). A little about me: I am a University of Michigan graduate with a Bachelor’s in movement science. A fun fact is that I did pediatric yoga research as well as research in activity and health in pediatric disabilities, so getting your child/children active is a must for me. Outside of learning about child development, I have worked as a teachers aide, camp counselor, and full time nanny. I am looking forward to potentially meeting you and your family and helping in anyway possible! (Schedule must be flexible but I am 95% available all day Mondays, Fridays and weekends)
