A little bit about me
I am the oldest sibling of 5 and come from a huge family! My Dad has 11 siblings and my Mom has 4, so family dynamics is all I have ever known. I was the mature and responsible child so I was constantly supervising and taking care of my younger siblings and cousins or close family friends. As I got older, I started doing more volunteer experiences like with my church and school. I was a Junior Camp Counselor, helped with Sunday School, and babysat a lot because it was what I was taught to do. When I entered College, specifically when I was 19 and moved to Columbus in 2018, I started babysitting for a job. I have since then been a paid tutor, babysitter, and nanny. I just left a position where I was the Head School Age Teacher at a local day care. I also have volunteered at YoungLife Summer Camps for 4 years where I served in many different roles and also helped with the camp session for Teen Mothers.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Perla! I'd describe my personality as fun, loving and patient.
I started working with children ever since my mother started her home day care. There, I realized I loved working and caring for children. I started to pursue an interest in Early Childhood Development courses and I’m currently working on my AA.
I like working with children because they have a way of bringing you into their world and enjoy and appreciate the little things in life that now as grown ups we tend to forget. Children are just amazing, and I get to be a part of their life even if its just a few hours a day but knowing that I am helping them develop and grow is such a joy.
I'm looking for a job that allows me to care for the child a few days a week/hrs even for date nights or just to give parents a lending hand. I am willing to be CPR/FIRST AID certified and I am currently fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and follow strict CDC guideline.

A little bit about me
I’ve been working at Balanced Family Academy in Upper Arlington for 3 and a half years and have nannied and babysit since I was 14. I’ve worked with infants-preschoolers at BFA but currently work with infants. This job has been a top propriety of mine as I love working with kids and wanted to grow within this company. However I’m ready to move on and finish college so I’m currently trying to knock out my classes at Cstate so I can finish my bachelors at OSU. Because of this, my hours for work have decreased and I think it would be more beneficial to put all my time towards one family instead of working with a company. If any parents need part time help and my availability works for you please let me know! ◡̈

Hi I’m Rylee! I am an energetic, highly dedicated caregiver who truly loves what I do. I bring 4 years of professional childcare experience working with kids aged 2 to 10. My approach is entirely hands-on, play-based, and educational. I specialize in turning everyday moments into fun learning experiences, whether through creative arts, outdoor and everyday activities. Fostering strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents is the foundation of my care. I am incredibly reliable, highly organized, and committed to providing a stable, nurturing environment. I also have hands-on experience supporting children with autism, which has deeply taught me how to be patient, adaptive, and attentive to unique sensory and behavioral needs. I would love to connect and see how I can support your family!
