Hi, I’m Harmony! I love being a sitter because caring for children comes naturally to me and brings me genuine joy. I’ve always had a passion for helping kids feel safe, happy, and understood. Growing up as an only child, I developed a nurturing personality and found it easy to connect with younger kids—creating fun, meaningful moments through play, conversation, and encouragement. Watching a child grow more confident, learn something new, or simply feel at ease in my care is what makes this work so rewarding. I’ve babysat for several families, caring for children of various ages and personalities. I also completed an internship at Little Children's Hospital, where I supported kids in a hospital setting with patience and compassion. In college, I studied child development and had the opportunity to teach in a classroom setting, helping children learn through both structure and creativity. These experiences have strengthened my instincts, patience, and ability to meet children where they are emotionally and developmentally. I’m CPR certified and well-versed in both babysitting and early childhood education. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and creative—especially when it comes to keeping kids engaged with fun activities and routines that suit their personalities. I value safety, clear communication, and consistency, and I treat every child with kindness, respect, and care. If you’re looking for someone warm, responsible, and truly passionate about working with kids, I’d love to be a part of your family’s support system!

Hello! I am Lyndsae Westrich, and I will be moving to Central Ohio in June 2024. I hope to hear from you soon! I worked as a nanny and have provided childcare for hundreds of children over the years in my home or in the families homes with newborns to age 12 years. I have also worked in preschools, Head Start, childcare centers, private and public elementary schools. I have also had 3 years experience in a special education emotional disability classroom. I have loved working with children since I was old enough to babysit, so for 26 years as I am 38 now. I have an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Nanny Childcare Provider Certificate and am always current on my CPR certificate. My local community college was not an option on this app, so I chose something similar. I graduated in 2006 from Lake Land College in Mattoon, IL.
