A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Bethany! I’m 25 years old, born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. My passion for childcare started when I was employed as a dance instructor for ages 6-13 at Patternz Summer Camp and pushed me to dive deeper into childhood development. I love the arts and am a professional dancer for Thiossane West African Dance Institute. My favorite hobbies outside of creating art are reading, taking walks outside and watching Disney movies. I am currently employed as an Infant teacher at the Primrose School at Mill Run and am looking to move my employment to a more intimate setting to grow in childcare, cooking and house keeping. I have no plans on it soon but do aspire to be a mother and raise a family of my own in the future! I hope we can connect further on whatever needs you have your child(ren) and home.

A little bit about me

Hello Families! I'm 36, originally from Ohio and have recently moved back from Chicago. I have about 15 years total experience, with 8 years of that being full-time. I've taken care of children, from newborn babies to children 10 years of age. I would describe myself as very reliable, responsible, fun, friendly, and active. I'm sensitive to the needs of parents, as well as children. I'm looking to have a working relationship based on mutual trust and respect.
I love animals and do not mind doing light house cleaning.

I have several excellent references that I can give as well as written reviews on Care.com and Sittercity.

A little bit about me

Hi! As a recent college graduate at 22 years old, I bring almost a decade of babysitting experience, having nurtured and cared for the children of neighbors and family friends since I was 13. My passion for childcare is matched by the strong, lasting relationships I've built with the children and families I've worked with/cared for. Beyond my love for kids, I have many interests, including cars I am a big time Porsche enthusiast and love BMW, motorsports (I have worked in IMSA!), fashion, traveling, and event curation. This diverse background enables me to offer a dynamic and engaging environment for the children I care for, ensuring their safety and happiness while fostering their curiosity and creativity.
