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!

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!!

I bring approximately one year of professional childcare experience. In addition to caring for my younger sister throughout my upbringing, I have worked in a daycare setting as well as provided in-home childcare for a family several evenings per week. I truly value supporting parents by ensuring their children are safe, and well-cared-for, which allows families peace of mind and the opportunity to take time for themselves. I am certified in CPR and First Aid.

Heather B., Babysitter in Amherst, OH 44001 with 0 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because interacting with kids and helping them grow is very important to me. I also love being a sitter because I want to help families in need of care, and create a safe and trusting bond with both parent and child. Experience I have is babysitting for my family, as well as working a summer job at the Children's Learning Center at LCCC. I have strong childcare skills, including creating fun and safe activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and maintaining routines like bedtime. I’m trained in CPR and first aid, so I’m prepared for emergencies. I also have experience with conflict resolution, patience, and communication, which helps me connect with kids of different ages.

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!
