Sittercity helps Gates Mills families find the best babysitters

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.

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.

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.

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.
