A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jacqueline! I’m a fun-loving, organized, and passionate caretaker and teacher. I’ve worked as a babysitter, infant teacher, and preschool teacher for over 3 years! I believe that all activities are opportunities for our little ones to learn and grow. I have studied developmental psychology at the Ohio State University. I’m currently looking for a family of 1-3 children ages 0-4. Be sure to reach out if you’re looking for a full-time nanny and at-home learning and enrichment. I love creating activities and schedules catered to your little ones!

A little bit about me

I have been working in childcare since my junior year of college, and have experience with a wide variety of needs! Some of my previous positions include nannying, being a Youth Services Worker (essentially a daycare teacher) for the Clintonville Community Resource Center's Kids Club, working as a counselor at a summer camp for kids on the Autism Spectrum, and working as a toddler teacher at an ability-inclusive daycare center.
I am passionate about music and art, and love to incorporate this into my work with kids! I'm definitely a people person and bring lots of energy to what I do :)

A little bit about me

and I’m a dependable, caring, and responsible person with a natural ability to connect with children. I’ve spent time watching and caring for kids of different ages, and I truly enjoy being part of their growth, learning, and day-to-day routines.

I’m patient, friendly, and always focused on making sure children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, preparing meals, or just being a positive role model, I take my role seriously and always give my best.

Parents can count on me to be on time, attentive, and respectful of their household rules. I’m proud of the trust people place in me when it comes to their children, and I’m always ready for the responsibility that comes with it.

My name is Judeah, I am 21 years old and have plenty of experience working with people of all ages and disabilities! I love making everyone around me happy and comfortable! Care taking is something that is natural to me. Growing up my mom ran daycare centers so being a round kids and making sure they are learning while still having fun and being safe is very important to me.
