A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ashley Grenda and I am college student at The Ohio State University majoring in pharmaceutical sciences. I love working with kids as they bring such genuine curiosity, creativity, and joy to every interaction. Their enthusiasm and fresh perspectives can be incredibly rewarding to engage with. For the past 2 summers I was a Summer Camp Counselor for Kids First Sports Center. During high school, I would spend my summers volunteering at Kennedy Heights Arts Centers Summer Camps where I would work with kids of all ages. What sets me apart is my determination and love for kids.

A little bit about me

Hi everyone! I am a graduate from The Ohio State University and I am currently a Graduate student at Capital University. I am a Cleveland native but have been nannying in Columbus and the surrounding areas for the past 5 years while in school.

I have spent the past 8 summers as a full time nanny for various families and have experience with children of all ages ranging from 2weeks-13 years old. I also have experience nannying for both single child families as well as families with up to 5 children. Alongside being CPR certified, I am also a certified lifeguard and swim instructor.

Most recently, I have spent the past year as a full time nanny for a family of 3 boys, primarily spending my time caring for their infant. Due to different scheduling needs with my graduate school requirements, I have to part ways with this lovely family and am in search of a new family to love and care for part time.
