A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Alijah and I am 22 years old. I have been taking care of children since I was 14 years old. I am the oldest to 3 younger sisters and I raised the younger 2. I have worked in a daycare for about a year and a half at a wonderful learning daycare named Jump City Childcare, where we offered Spanish lessons, monthly field trips, and a thorough curriculum that challenges children’s minds and pushes them to learn how they individually learn. I say all this to say that all of these things will be implemented while your child is in my care. You will love how much your child is learning everyday!

A little bit about me

Hello Parents! My name is Gift and and I am a 3rd year nursing student currently attending Ohio State University. I have been around children of all ages being that I come from a family of 8 siblings all different age gaps. I played a lot of of different roles with my younger siblings which has always made me proud of myself in a way. I am CPR/BLS certified which was something I chose to get even before getting accepted in the nursing program just to make my siblings safer when they are just around me. I currently have a very flexible schedule as a lot of my classes are online and labs are on hold. I can pretty much help with anything and any age child…I’ll figure out some way to keep them entertained because it doesn’t always have to be watching tv all the time. I would love to be a positive influence on any child because I think I’ve tried and succeeded with being just that with my own siblings.

A little bit about me

I have been babysitting for over 10 years. I nannied for the same amazing family of 3 children for 5 consecutive summers. I now work part time at Nationwide Children's Hospital (currently on leave due to COVID-19), & nanny full-time for 2 sweet girls (2&4years old) - due to the pandemic, I will soon be out of work. My responsibilities included transportations, preparing meals, light house keeping, helping with homework, and engaging in fun activities with the kids. I have experience working with children of all ages (1week - 17 years old). I am comfortable changing diapers, bottle feeding, bathing, etc. I graduated from Earlham College with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Biology in 2018. I love being active and engaging in a variety of activities with the kids I have watched. I hope to find a loving family that I can provide care for. If you have any question or would like feedback from previous families that I have watched, please feel free to reach out!!
