Sittercity helps Chesterland families find the best babysitters

My name is Aliana, I'm 22 and I have always loved kids. I grew up taking care of my younger cousins and sister. I have babysat on the side since I was 17 and have experience with newborns, babies, toddlers, and young children. I have a BLS and CPR certification. I have always wanted kids of my own so I would enjoy working with children. I will treat your children as if they were my own.

Hi! I'm Joy and I am an energetic bilingual (Spanish) caregiver with many years of experience across all ages, from infants to teens. I currently work part-time with a five year old boy with behavioral special needs and a 15 year old non-verbal boy with autism and Down syndrome part-time. ( I have worked with his family for 16 + years) I have a B.A. in Spanish and an A.A.S. in Occupational Therapy Assistant Technology . I have previously worked here in Cleveland in the rehab dept. of a nursing home as a COTA, at Trader Joe’s , and as a preschool teacher at Mandel Jewish community center. I grew up in Portland, Oregon and I absolutely love the outdoors, metro parks, animals, music, and arts & crafts....tons of crafts! (I carry around a box of craft materials in my car at all times, and kids know me for this). I also enjoy children's books, the library, board games, and trampolines. In addition, I still like to climb trees and play hide and seek, sing, dance, goof around, and be silly when silly is called for. I volunteered as an English teacher for 1st thru 6th grade students with WorldTeach while living abroad in Costa Rica for two years . I’m adventurous and tons of fun, but I don't forget to enforce rules, teamwork, sharing, respect for other kids, and cleanup . (I trained with Amy Speidel to learn "Conscious Discipline" and continue to get coached by her). If your kids are young, you will often find me on the floor playing and recalling what it was like to be that age.

Hi! I love all kids & caring for them/helping them grow is my passion! I am the oldest of 6 kids. There has not been a time in my life where I was not around kids! I am a nursing major at Kent State & I know I will one day be a pediatric nurse. I work as a Nursing Assistant II at UH Rainbow Babies & Childrens hospital main campus (in downtown Cleveland)! I absolutely love working at Rainbow & I have happily worked there since May, 2022. I work in their float pool, meaning I go where the staffing needs are higher for that day! I am PRN, which means I schedule my own shifts every scheduling period (which allows me the flexibility to be a sitter as well)! Every scheduling period at RBC, I just have a minimum amount of hours that I am required to schedule, so as long as I meet the minimum, I can schedule as much as I would like or I can just work the minimum, allowing me this flexibility. This has given me experience as a nursing assistant caring for the kiddos on all of their units, including: the cardiac stepdown, the pediatric ICU, the child and adolescent psychiatric unit, their peds med/surg unit, the NICU stepdown, the respiratory floor, the GI/GU floor, & their pediatric hematology/oncology unit! I have trainings for pediatrics that I constantly have to stay up to date on as well. I could not say enough amazing things about Rainbow & how much I love working there! I also work at a daycare as needed (depending on staffing needs & my job at RBC) & I have happily been employed with them for over two years now as a childcare provider float. I love working with children. I am registered through OCCRAA and have completed all my required childcare trainings through ODJFS. I am CPR BLS certified. I am fully vaccinated, including fully COVID vaccinated as well! I can do light housework, laundry, or whatever is needed. I have my drivers license & my own vehicle for any transportation needs (a 2015 Chrysler 200 & completely safe)! I have a clean driving record (never even been pulled over) & a clean background check! I am completely okay with any animal care as well! I am hard working & punctuality is important to me! I am extremely easy to work with & very thoroughly experienced! Currently, I live in Willowick, OH! It is my passion to protect all of the tiny humans! I would love the opportunity to care for your kiddos as well!

I became a caregiver because it is what I have done most of my life. Taking care of children has been the most rewarding career for me. Being a mother of four grown children and twelve grandchildren qualifies me as a nurturing caregiver. For many years I worked in the hospitality & retail industry. As a nanny I have cared for children newborn to teenagers. I’ve cared for families with one to three children. I’ve previously been CPR certified. My flu shot is updated yearly. I have received all my Covid shots. My Internest updates my shots every 6 months,

I have worked with children and animals for the majority of my adult life! After a brief career in cosmetology I’ve spent 8 years total as a part time nanny, babysitter, daycare worker, dog walker, and pet sitter. I love to be silly and enjoy the little things that make life special while looking after our most beloved, and most vulnerable little ones - both human and four legged! I really value being trusted with their care. I’m comfortable watching up to 3 children at a time and I have significant work experience with ages 0-5, however in my personal life I’ve experience with supervising children of all ages.

Hi! My name is Shalontae. I’m a proud mom and a naturally kid-friendly, attentive, and patient person. I have 6 years of babysitting experience and enjoy what I do. I genuinely love working with children and always create a caring, safe, and fun environment for them. Being a mom has taught me the importance of being nurturing, understanding, and dependable — all traits I bring to every babysitting job. I’d love the chance to help care for your little ones and make your life a little easier!

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.

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!
