Leta B., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 1 year of paid experience

I'm a college student attending LCCC currently for my Associates of Nursing. While I don't have professional experience babysitting, I have 2 younger siblings who I've nearly raised as my own kids since they were young. I am CPR and first aid certified. I decided to be a sitter due to my compassion for kids and ability to connect! My abilities also extend beyond sitting to more, such as basic household work (laundry, dishes, etc.), running errands, in addition to having my own car. I am particularly available in the mornings, but have a flexible schedule so feel free to reach out!

Gemma K., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello, and welcome to my page! I am currently enrolled as an undergraduate student majoring in Inclusive Elementary Education at OWU, and minoring in Zoology. I possess several years of experience babysitting for parents in my neighborhood, family friends, a handful of families on Care.com, and have watched after my three younger siblings during our adolescence. I also obtain a tutoring background, dabbling in both elementary schools and in homes. I love to read, write, draw, play outside, engage in sporting activities, take care of animals, sing and dance, as well as make kiddos laugh. Having fun is essential in my caretaker philosophy, but safety will always remain my first priority. I am trustworthy, dependable, and most importantly, am able to establish trust and rapport with children. I am a safe and licensed driver, and would be happy to run errands or take the kids to the park and elsewhere, if given permission. The sitter role has been an integral aspect of my life as I have learned various ways to manage behavior, observed differing personalities in children, and have dedicated myself to understanding the needs and patterns of kids with special needs; factors including these have been crucial in my ever-growing experience and out-of-classroom education, molding my role as an influential teacher for my future students to depend on. Thank you for your time and consideration, and have a lovely day!

Stephany L., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi!! My name is Stephany. I am one of 10 children, I being the oldest and the youngest being 9 years old. There are 7 boys and 3 girls. Most of them are in there teens now, but I have personal experience with a different ages. One of my brothers is handicapped and diagnosised being mentally retarded with a behavior disorder, so I also have some experience with disabled children as well. I also have experience babysitting outside of my family. I used to babysit for my really good friend who has 2 children. Also from March 2017 to September 2017 I worked in a day care. I started out working my first two weeks in the toddler room and then moved over to the infant room 1-2 years of age, and finally settling into the baby room working with children 6 weeks to 1year. From 2018-2021 I worked for a family who had 4 children various ages. I would focus on the youngest during the school year and would have all 4 during the summer anywhere between 2-4 times a week. I currently started working with a family in September of 2021. I work with several kids now 2-3 regularly. Most of my toddlers will be starting preschool this year, so I am looking to move to in-home care at my house and bring in 1-2 more families or 1-2 more newborns-toddlers long term!!

Ashley J., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 10 years of paid experience

I have had roughly 10 years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities, focusing on children from six months of age to three years of age, and those at the elementary level. I also have about three years of experience working with children with disabilites, focusing mainly on autism spectrum disorders. In all of these settings, I have helped prepare meals, cleaned and sanitized surfaces, assisted children in bathroom duties, written lesson plans, and created fun activities to do with the children, meeting thrm at their developmental levels. I have some experience with communication devices and using the PECS system, and have been studying PSE (aka: Pidegon Sign Language, or American Sign Language for the hearing person) since grade seven. I love having fun and making memories with the littles and their families!

Sydnee R., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Sydnee, and I have several years of experience working with children of all ages through babysitting, childcare, and as a substitute teacher for PreK–12 students. I am currently in college studying social work with the goal of becoming a child therapist, so working with and supporting children is something I am truly passionate about. I also have experience working with children with special needs, including autism, which has helped me develop strong patience, communication, and adaptability skills. I enjoy helping with daily routines, homework, creative activities, meals, and keeping children engaged in positive and age-appropriate ways. Families would describe me as dependable, caring, patient, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare, and I always strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I look forward to connecting with families and providing reliable, compassionate care!

Annamarie L., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 6 years of paid experience

I just finished my sophomore years at The Ohio State University. I love being around kids with their fun and imaginative creativity. I have worked with kids in many different settings from having so many little cousins to working at places such as Aqua-Tots swim school and being around them all day. I am planning to work in the healthcare field so I am trained in CPR, BLS, First Aid, and some other skills. I currently am looking for part time jobs while home in the summer while babysitting as well. I share a car with my family so sometimes I do have a car to drive. I have been babysitting for 6 years now and have been with all ages. Please reach out with any questions you may have but I am looking forward to the connections I will build.

Jordyn B., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi - my name is Jordyn, and I just graduated from Ohio Dominican University, where I played soccer and got a degree in Exercise Science. I work/have worked with toddlers and kids (5-12) at my local YMCA, running various camps and working at a child watch program. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, teaching various sports, and organizing group games/activities. In camp, my ratio was 1:18, so I am comfortable watching any number of kids. Being a former college athlete, I love being active with the kids I work with. Whether it’s teaching them new activities, playing board games, baking, or playing outside, I love to see them learn while having fun! Having just graduated, I have a lot of availability and flexibility to help a family/families out!
