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! ◡̈

A little bit about me

My name is Kara Moody. I recently graduated in 2018 from The Ohio State University with a bachelors degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. Currently I am in an advanced nursing program full time. I have been professional nannying/ babysitting for families for about 6 years now and when I saw your job posting I thought that it might be the perfect position for me. I have experience with all age ranges of children and currently I am a full time nanny to a 4 month old girl and 2 year old boy for the the past 2 years. I enjoy being hands on with children while interacting with them and learning the things they enjoy to do which helps pass the time while their parents are away more enjoyable for them. I enjoy cooking healthy meals for children and including them as well. Aside from all of this I enjoy taking children to the park, the zoo, the pool, and COSI if allowed by the parents. Thank you for reviewing my application and please feel free to contact me anytime.
