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.

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!

I have worked as a nanny for approximately 7 yrs. In CA. and now going on 3 yrs. here in Ohio. I have completed 6 ECE units at Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo CA. I am a mother to two beautiful children. My daughter is 21yrs old and is finishing up her final year at UCSC. My son is 3 yrs and he does come with me while I work, though can stay home with dada on the weekends if you prefer. I have worked at various daycares in the infant rooms ranging ages 6 weeks to 20 months with a ratio of 4 infants to one adult. I am pediatric first aid and CPR certified. I absolutely love being a child care provider and look forward to getting to work with new families

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.

I’m a loving mom of 4 kids & grandma to two little ones! I love caring for children ~ I have lots of patience & lots of love to give. Very dependable with reliable transportation. Thanks!

Hello! My name is AnnaClaire Lackney and I’m a school Speech-Language Pathologist serving grades PK-3rd. I’m originally from Cincinnati, OH but have recently relocated to Medina, OH. I’m looking to build relationships with families locally to provide quality childcare during my summer break, after-school, or weekends during the school year. I’ve always enjoyed working with the pediatric population and have been babysitting since 5th grade. I have provided childcare services while working at Barre 3's play lounge. I also was a nanny for multiple families for 10+ years! I’m excited to get to know you and your family!

I have 2 nieces and a nephew that I adore. Being around children gives you a fresh perspective that is needed within adult minds. I used to work at a daycare for about a year with kids ranging from month old babies to middle school children. I volunteered for the zoo and helped with the zoo camp. I also was able to teach a couple lessons to second graders. I used to tutor high school students and help them out with their homework. I also used to babysit and value outside time to play.

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.

Hello! My names Alexis but you can call me Lexi and I’m currently in the mix of looking for babysitting opportunities on the side between school and working. I come from a background of being around kids most of my life as I was involved in girl scouts for about 8 years and have a 5 year old sister at home. I currently am enrolled at the University of Akron on a 4 year scholarship, as working with kids is something I really enjoy I feel that babysitting is a perfect way for me to get some extra cash on the side while bonding with the little ones as I too remember having a babysitter that I could never forget. Over this past summer I was a full time nanny so my skills are a wide range. I can cook, do basic and deep cleaning, snack prep, potty training, bedtime and so much more. Not to brag but I work with all ages! I am certified in CPR and first aid. I do not mind animals, I have my own reliable and safe transportation along with insurance and I am willing to use my car for activities and such. I’m 20 years old and have a lot of energy when it comes to watching young ones. I would love any opportunity to have fun and make a difference in someone’s family!

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:)
