Sittercity helps Kent families find the best babysitters

Hi! My name is Sydnie! I’m currently a lead daycare teacher in an infant classroom and have been working in childcare for about 8 years! I’m CPR and First Aid certified. Through the two daycare facilities I’ve worked at, I’ve taken many classes on childcare and child development. I love working in childcare because of the accomplishments I see in the children as they grow up! Working with many age groups has helped me adjust my mindset to be exactly what the child(ren) in my care need!

I grew up with three younger siblings and I took care of them a lot until I moved out. I also have babysat and nannied for multiple families in the past which has been such an amazing experience. I have always adored being around kids and it brings me extreme joy. I am CPR certified and first aid certified. I am currently in school to become a DA. I believe children are little joy of life.

Hello! My name is Izzy, I’m a 23 year old collage student at Kent State pursing a degree in special education. I’m passionate about nurturing young minds and fostering growth and development. I have three years of childcare experience at the Akron YMCA and 5+ years of experience working with children. I'm hoping to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your family! I’m patient, creative, and passionate about my work in childcare. Clear communication is key, so I keep parents regularly updated on their child's day, whether through verbal updates at pickup, text messages, or phone calls—whatever works best for you. My approach to childcare prioritizes safety first, and fun second. With children I enjoy playing outdoors, engaging in games and puzzles, or supporting development through educational games. I have First Aid and CPR training, so you can rest assured that your child's well-being is in capable hands. I'm also more than happy to assist with tasks like cooking meals, carpooling, light housekeeping, and whatever else I can to support your family! If you have any questions please reach out!

Hello! I have been working with children for a while! I babysit for my family and friends often, but more notably I worked at Goldfish Swim School as a Deck Supervisor for over 2.5 years. There, I worked closely with students of all ages. I became close with many families due to the nature of my job being 1 on 1 support with crying kids, special needs kids, and kids who need extra help learning the material. I have a Lifeguard Certification which covers First Aid and CPR. I am an Early Childhood Education major at Kent State University, and my availability on Friday nights/weekends is very open!

I genuinely enjoy babysitting because I’ve grown up around kids my whole life. As the oldest of 8, I’ve naturally taken on a leadership and caregiver role from a young age. I’m used to everything from helping with homework and making meals to calming tantrums and organizing fun activities. Babysitting feels natural to me—it’s something I’ve had years of hands-on experience with, and I’ve learned to be patient, responsible, and creative. What I enjoy most is the connection I build with kids. I like making them laugh, helping them learn new things, and being someone they can trust. Every child is different, and I like adapting to their unique personalities and needs. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I find meaningful and rewarding.

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.
