Sittercity helps Brecksville families find the best babysitters

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 student at Kent State University, where I am finishing my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I am a Paramedic with 5+ years of 911 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 for the Fall semester, which has me available nights, weekends, and mornings before school starts. 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, unfortunately I've been finding work off a different website for years and my reviews are all on there! Thanks!

Hi, there! My name is Anastasia and I am a licensed school social worker. I grew up in a big family with lots of siblings, so I can handle it all. I started to baby sit when I was around 11 years old and it has created some of the most fun and exciting memories. I love crafts and going outside, but reading together and doing work is just as important to me as well. I have interned at elementary, middle and high schools and have done many mentoring programs where I had the opportunity to work with children one on one. It’s summer break so I am very flexible with time. Looking forward to working with your little one(s)!

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 have been nannying for 7 years with a wonderful family. The youngest is starting kindergarten in the fall, so I will be dispatching full time and nannying part time. I'm looking for a loving, positive environment, and look forward to meeting your family!

My name is Zakiyyah. I have been babysitting since I was a young teenager for family and friends of the family. I currently also work with the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools Program where I implement a reading curriculum, foster the love of reading and learning in my scholars and their need to make a difference. This will be my fifth summer with the program and I love it! Working with young people has made my ability to individualize the needs if each person exceptional. This is very important to me because each child is different. I am also able to do this at the various high schools and middle schools where my on campus organizations volunteer. I love working with young people, and although it is not always flawless, the patience, life experience and impact I have gained is incomparable. I am CPR trained and efficiently responsive in a crisis. I would be glad to offer care, compassion and positive leadership to where you and your family needs it most!

Hi! I’m a 21-year-old nursing student with a deep passion for caring for children and a dream of becoming a pediatric nurse. I’ve been babysitting for over three years, and every moment spent with kids has only strengthened my love for helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. There’s something so special about being part of a child’s world, and it’s what inspired me to pursue pediatric nursing. I’m CPR certified, compassionate, and truly dedicated to making a difference in the lives of little ones because for me, this isn’t just a career path, it’s what I’m meant to do.

My name is Jessica, and I’m a wife and mother of two wonderful boys. I earned my degree in Special Education from Ohio University and have extensive experience working with children from infancy through school age. I taught kindergarten for two years, worked at KinderCare for ten years, and assisted two families with pod learning during the pandemic. Currently, I’m a teacher’s assistant, seeking a less demanding role to allow more time for involvement in my children’s schooling and extracurricular activities. At KinderCare, I served as the Learning Adventures teacher, where I led small groups in subjects like math, music, reading, and phonics. I was also a Pre-K teacher for three years and floated between classrooms during my spring and summer breaks. I absolutely love working with children! Creating a structured and engaging environment that fosters developmental growth is one of my greatest joys. I have a passion for working with kids and a deep patience for navigating different personalities. Knowing I can be a listening ear or a helping hand in a child’s life is what makes my work so fulfilling.
