ABOUT ME: Hi! My name is Jamie, I am a mom to four beautiful little girls. I am a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant but have stayed home the past 10 years to raise my family. I absolutely love the baby stage and have lots of experience raising little ones. I'm here to help with infant home day care. It will be a 1:1 ratio as my girls will be at school most of the day. I will love, cuddle, and sway with your little one and there will be lots of play and exploring. You are their mother/father and I will take your lead, whether it's paced bottle feeding for pumped milk, formula fed, cloth diapering, disposable diapers, baby led weaning or purées. I'm here for all of the things. The health and safety of your child is my top priority. We have an outdoor play set for nice days and a finished lower level that is a play room. Please don't hesitate to reach out for further questions and see if I'm a good fit for you! I am fully vaccinated and smoke free home. We do have a 15 year old Yorkiepoo (hypoallergenic) but he just sleeps all day :). I look forward to hearing from you! Jamie Sayavong

Kiser Family Care

< 1 mi

About Kiser Family Care: My name is Desiree and I have opened my home up as a daycare center for an infant (newborn-12 months). I live in a two bedroom apartment located on the second story of an in-law suite. We are located in Galena, Ohio next to Hoover. The kitchen, bathroom and stairs are blocked off with baby-gates and I have baby-proofed all electrical outlets, cords, etc. I have toys for each developmental stage for a child newborn to twelve months of age. Your child will sleep in a crib special for him/her in a room with a door that is able to close. I have a video monitor in the room that your child will sleep in. Depending on your child's age, I can provide healthy meals and will give you a meal plan for the week/days your child will be here. I keep my home very clean; I vacuum once a day, clean the bathroom every other day and dust once a week. A little about me: I am a mother of two children (two years and ten months) and am currently pregnant with my third child. I have been babysitting since I was ten years old and I helped out tremendously with my three younger siblings growing up. I have experience with children from newborn to fifteen years of age. While I am not CPR certified, I have taken great lengths to educate myself on the method for my own children, as well as those under my care. I have a current drivers license and my own vehicle which can be used for transportation for emergencies. About our home: I have two Great Danes and two cats. The dogs are enclosed in the kitchen area and are moved to another secure location during meals. Our cats free-roam the apartment, but are very gentle with children. We also have two fish tanks which can be endless entertainment for any age child.

I just built a brand new home in Lewis center. It is so wonderfully set up for in-home daycare with a huge playroom that is on the main level. I can always keep an eye on the children even while prepping meals. I provide breakfast, lunch, and healthy snacks. I am a Christian mother of two children. We attend church every week. My kids are a 8-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old boy. I can service the Glen Oak school area and get the kids on and off the school bus. When you leave your children at my house, you will know you are making the right choice. It is newly built and very clean, but we also have toys galore. We love to play outside every single day that weather permits. We have a swing set and small children's pool for summer. We will have so much fun learning to count and sing our ABCs. I utilize awesome websites for reading and math when they are older kids. We have two iPads for fun toddler apps like tracing numbers and matching games and color/shape recognition. I am very creative with our craft ideas and also love teaching by way of sensory fun such as drawing letters in sand or shaving cream. My hours are 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. These are my set hours, but I am available for times outside of this for an additional fee so that you can work late, grocery shop, doctor appointments, or date night. I have so much more information to give, so feel free to contact me for anything you need. I look forward to hearing from you and giving your family a tour of our home.

Are you searching for a provider that you can count on, that goes above and beyond? For over 20 years, I have loved being an intricate part in the growth, development and nurturing of many children. Many are still a big part of my family. Working together with the families, we have experienced great success with potty training, walking, talking, transitioning from bottle to cup or no pacifier, fine gross motor skills, learning our numbers, letters, shapes, colors, object recognition along with socialization skills of sharing, caring, kindness and good manners. Our bright and enchanted storybook hollow playroom is full of exciting options to fill our day with fun and learning. I have many references from families (including several teachers) that I have provided care for in the past as well as currently. I am a Mom of 3 children. A daughter, 26, living on her own, a son, 20, who attends Harvard University and my youngest, a son who is about to graduate High School and will be attending Kent State with a goal to study abroad in Paris in 2 years. I live in North Columbus in the Forest Park area between Morse Rd and 161. About 8 minutes from Easton. I live on a very quiet cul de sac. If you are interested in chatting about your childcare needs, please give me a call at 614-284-1482. Thank you. Melissa

Hello! I opened my daycare eight years ago in my home after I adopted my second child. I was a foster parent for four years, during this time, I attended several training classes including First Aid and CPR, both of which I am still current in. I also went to College and completed three out of five years towards my Early Childhood Degree. However, life doesn't always take you in the direction that you thought! Now, I get the opportunity to follow my dream! In my home, your children will start out their morning by free play and eating breakfast. After that, we go to the playroom and we incorporate puzzles, books, musical instruments, flash cards as well exploring their imagination with forts, tents, etc. Around 11:30 a.m., we leave the play room and watch Sesame Street or another age appropriate show while I make lunch. During lunch, I play CD's of nursery rhymes and music. Nap/Quiet time is from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., depending on the needs and desires of the parent/child. When all the children are up, we have our afternoon snack and free play for the remainder of the day. During the nap/quiet period, if I have children who will not nap, I will introduce Play Doh, finger paints and also put in a Disney movie. My home is filled with age appropriate toys, as well as all the essentials a newborn/infant would need. Cribs, Pack and Plays, High Chairs, Strollers, Bouncers just to name a few! Our home is also equipped with fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, and ADT should an emergency develop. Also, whenever possible, I have a fenced in backyard where I have many outdoor toys such as a trampoline, monkey bars, slides, riding toys and a water table for the children to play with. I also have a sprinkler and several small kiddie pools. My hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I provide breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. I also include the baby wipes for all children as well. My home is smoke/drug/alcohol free. We are pet friendly with a small dog and cat. I look forward to hearing from you!
