Find experienced babysitters in Akron, OH

Hello! I have always enjoyed working with young children. I began working at a daycare when I was 18 in the infant room. I stayed for 3 years until I was offered a job at a prestigious daycare for the preschool teaching position. I later left when offered a nanny position with a family from my old daycare. I then nannied for 8 years with a few wonderful families. I am currently dispatching full time from 4pm to midnight and nannying part time. I'm looking for a loving, positive environment, and look forward to meeting your family!

Working with children is my passion and I have done this my entire career. I am a certified teacher who chose to make childcare my full-time career in 2008. I have experience with ages newborn to 15 years old, including multiples. Pets and helping around the house are not a problem. I am reliable, honest, clean, and organized. I have a reliable and safe car with insurance and a clean driving record. I have a clean background check and resume with references available for interviews. I take pride in nurturing children and infants as they grow and learn, socially and educationally. I have two children of my own (both in school) giving me additional experience and compassion. I am looking to help out other families occasionally. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Hi! I'm Thayna (pronounced “Tynah”), 26 years old, and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position. Before moving here, I volunteered at a shelter where I cared for children ages 1 to 15. I have experience with children of different ages and families. Currently, I work 3 days in the mornings taking care of an infant, and I also babysit toddlers (2 and 4 years old) on Saturdays. In the past, I’ve cared for other families as well, including three children ages 4, 6, and 7 for several months and another family’s children ages 9 and 11 for two years. I truly love spending time with kids and always do my best to support their growth and happiness. I am patient, flexible, responsible, friendly, and loving. I have my own car, am comfortable with pets, and can provide references upon request. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and energy to another family in need of childcare support.

My name is Cynthia. I am married and the mother of three boys, ages 6, 5, and 12 months. For the first four years of our boy's lives, I cared for our children in our home. The first three years of a child's life are invaluable and my ability to be with them during these critical years is one I will always be grateful for. Our day consisted of lots of outdoor play, trips to local parks and reserves, art and reading. Above all it was important to me to involve my children in the simplicity of the day. Everything that we did was used to feed their whole sense of self. From going to the farmer's market, library, hikes, or even gardening at home, my children thrived when they were involved in experiencing the day with me. When school age approached, myhusband and I enrolled or boys in a local private school that we felt best suited the learning style and curriculum that we had been implementing in our home. Due to the healthy rhythms and activities that were familiar to our children, the transition was seamless. I began nannying as my children started their journey at school. I was left with the desire to start this process again. My strong belief in the importance of children being at home from birth to age three overflowed into my newfound career. I have been honored to work for two incredible families in the last four years. I have watched their children grow and developed lifelong relationships with them. I am looking to begin a new journey with a family; one who shares the same love of child nurturing that I do. I prefer to nanny from your home to ensure a consistent environment for your child/children. Healthy foods, minimal screen time, and outdoor play are some of the fundamentals that will drive our daily routine. Some of my parenting techniques include: "RIE" as well as "Lifeways Childcare Providers." I am currently working on my Lifeways Child Care certification. I have a daily rate which includes gas for travel and cost of activities. I have annual memberships to Stan Hwyett Hall and Gardens, Akron Zoo, Hale Farm, The Museum of Natural History and Loyal Oak Lake. I am CPR trained and certified. I offer light cleaning, shopping, laundry, meal preparation, school/ activities transportation, and play dates. For your benefit and mine, I ask for a four week trial period. During this time we can determine if I am the best fit for your family.

Hi there! I'm Dai'Shunai — most families just call me Dai. I'm 25, currently pursuing my Master's degree, and have several years of hands-on experience caring for children ages 3 months to 17 years, including multiples. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, dependable, and genuinely love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged — think puzzles, arts and crafts, nature walks, and educational games over screen time. I also have experience supporting children with ADHD and autism spectrum needs. I'm comfortable with the full range: homework help, meal prep, potty training, bath and bedtime routines, transportation, light cleaning, and pet care. Based in Hudson, OH, and happy to travel. I'd love to bring structure, warmth, and good energy to your family!

Hi there! I am a fun-loving guy who has been working with children since High School, which is where I discovered my love for teaching young people and helping them to discover themselves and grow into wonderful adults! I am a graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor's of science in Early Childhood Education. I am a Paramedic with 10+ years of EMS experience and a former employee of Akron Children's Hospital, which gives me significant experience working with children with special health needs and developmental disabilities. I am currently looking for work that fits around my schedule, I currently work part-time but am also helping to manage and support my mother during cancer treatment. My schedule is generally flexible. As one of few experienced male caregivers on Sittercity, I hope that if you're searching for an energetic, friendly, positive male role model to look after your kids, you'll reach out and see if I'm the right fit for you! I do have numerous families available for references, however, as I've been finding work off a different website for years, most of my reviews are over there! Thanks!

MY EXPERIENCE I am blessed to be a mom, but my baby is now an adult and out on his own! I am a stepmom to a live-in young adult male with autism, and this experience has taught me how to communicate in a whole new way. In addition to being a parent, I was a babysitter for many years in my teens. I currently babysit the children of extended family members whenever possible! WHY I LOVE IT I was recently laid off from my corporate job and have decided to switch gears and follow my heart by pursuing a part-time job caring for children. Working with children makes me happy. I truly enjoy watching them grow and live life to their potential. Being a part of that journey is extremely rewarding. As a parent, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I am someone who will show up, engage with your children, help them develop, and reinforce your household routines and rules. MY SKILLS & TRAINING - Adult and Pediatric First Aid and CPR Certified - Patient, trustworthy, kind, and caring - Fun, energetic, like to play games and be creative - Enjoy the outdoors (hiking, water and snow skiing, etc) - I am a dog person. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and a few birds. I enjoy most pets. Exceptions are snakes and hairy spiders, but I can deal with them if they are in a secure cage:)
