Lauren W., Babysitter in Independence, OH 44131 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Anastasia D., Babysitter in Independence, OH 44131 with 5 years of paid experience

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)!
