A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Gaya and I am from Cleveland, Ohio but currently living in Columbus while I attend Ohio State. I am a rising junior studying to be a school psychologist.

As the oldest sibling and cousin in my family, I've been caring for young children my whole life. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve also worked in the preschool Sunday school class at my church. With over 8 years of experience, I’ve cared for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old.

I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and engaging in fun activities! Ideally, I would love to find a family I can work with 3-4 afternoons a week. If you or someone you know is looking for an energetic and reliable nanny, feel free to reach out!
Looking forward to connecting with a great family!😊

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lola, happy to be in touch :) I graduated from Miami University in 2022 with degrees in Psychology and English Literature before moving to New York City for graduate school. While in New York, I continued nannying alongside school and eventually transitioned into nannying full-time. I’ve since moved back home to Columbus, where I currently work as a full-time nanny.

I began babysitting in 2015 and have since gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children, as well as children with a range of developmental abilities. I’ve worked with families in both part-time and full-time roles and really value becoming a trusted, consistent part of a family’s day-to-day life. I’m comfortable balancing childcare with the many moving pieces that come with a busy household while keeping the kids’ needs at the center of everything.

If it sounds like we could be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you! :)

A little bit about me

I'm 18 years old. I not just like a regular old babysitter, I’m very adamant on getting to know them, interact with them, and care for their needs. I'm very mature for my age. I have 4 years of experience with kids from all ages. (0-17y/o) I played softball for 8 years. I took some course at the University of Findlay. I graduated from Watkins High School. I have a good work ethic; I've been working since I was 14. I'm great with kids all ages and I do light housekeeping, cooking, little bit of pet care.

A little bit about me

I am a fun-loving, creative person who truly enjoys working with, learning from, and sharing knowledge with kids of all ages. I love cats and dogs and enjoy listening to music and story-telling. I'm a lover of all things crafty, creative, colorful, vintage, and I love a good book or story. I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and dedicated my first 10+ years in the workforce working with survivors of domestic violence, something I am very passionate about. I am very appreciative of these experiences but I am ready to pursue a different path. I have 10+ years of part-time childcare experience, both in daycare settings as well as after school, evenings, nd weekend care for children. I am really looking forward to making it my full-time profession and passion.
