Currently I’m available for occasional or date nights as I am working with 2 families through Sittercity & a client referral. I am experienced with newborn, toddlers & school age children. I am always open to occasional sitting so that the family & I can get acquainted. I really like reading & playing & visits to the library. I previously finished a job with a Westlake family of 3 boys. The boys are older now & are taking care of themselves. (Palmer reference available upon request). Currently I’m taking care of a baby & a toddler for 2 families. My last position ended due to the pandemic. Mom would travel for a week to conventions, dog & horse shows as she sells animal supplements. When I started with the family the 2 adopted girls were 4 & 5. I have worked for them for 4 years & still see the girls occasionally. (Corsaro reference available upon request). Formula, park & library visits, preparing meals for the whole family or just the kids & getting them to eat & into bed happy are all part of my experience. I love to help with homework or just teach younger children the basics. I teach children how to cook or bake when appropriate - or just decorating the finished cupcakes! I am happy to help with light housework tasks & laundry as needed. I love all pets but am allergic to cats. The flag on my background check is because I didn’t come to a complete stop at Jennings & Bagley roads, & there was a police car behind me.

The reason I became a caregiver was because I always got along very well with kids, I’ve always loved kids! When my aunt and cousins and sisters started having babies I was always around kids and always seeing and hanging out and watching them! That’s what made me become a babysitter it interests me and always keeps me moving and having fun! My first family was for a couple in Westlake who had 3 children ages 8, 11, and 13. I took them to camps, practices, to the pool, to museums, the zoo, the movies, always somewhere, always doing something keeping busy and active! That was a summer job and we had a great connection I still keep in touch with them! My next job was for my sister Hayley, my nephew who’s 1 years old. My most recent job is for a single mom in North Olmsted, 3 children, ages 3, 5 and 8. The youngest are girls and the oldest is a boy. We were always keeping busy also and then they would take baths, I would feed them and clean the whole house. That was up until covid hit and she could work from home! Now I’m currently working in a dental office, looking for a new family to nanny for!

Hello, and welcome to my page! I am currently enrolled as an undergraduate student majoring in Inclusive Elementary Education at OWU, and minoring in Zoology. I possess several years of experience babysitting for parents in my neighborhood, family friends, a handful of families on Care.com, and have watched after my three younger siblings during our adolescence. I also obtain a tutoring background, dabbling in both elementary schools and in homes. I love to read, write, draw, play outside, engage in sporting activities, take care of animals, sing and dance, as well as make kiddos laugh. Having fun is essential in my caretaker philosophy, but safety will always remain my first priority. I am trustworthy, dependable, and most importantly, am able to establish trust and rapport with children. I am a safe and licensed driver, and would be happy to run errands or take the kids to the park and elsewhere, if given permission. The sitter role has been an integral aspect of my life as I have learned various ways to manage behavior, observed differing personalities in children, and have dedicated myself to understanding the needs and patterns of kids with special needs; factors including these have been crucial in my ever-growing experience and out-of-classroom education, molding my role as an influential teacher for my future students to depend on. Thank you for your time and consideration, and have a lovely day!

I'm a college student attending LCCC currently for my Associates of Nursing. While I don't have professional experience babysitting, I have 2 younger siblings who I've nearly raised as my own kids since they were young. I am CPR and first aid certified. I decided to be a sitter due to my compassion for kids and ability to connect! My abilities also extend beyond sitting to more, such as basic household work (laundry, dishes, etc.), running errands, in addition to having my own car. I am particularly available in the mornings, but have a flexible schedule so feel free to reach out!

Hi!! My name is Stephany. I am one of 10 children, I being the oldest and the youngest being 9 years old. There are 7 boys and 3 girls. Most of them are in there teens now, but I have personal experience with a different ages. One of my brothers is handicapped and diagnosised being mentally retarded with a behavior disorder, so I also have some experience with disabled children as well. I also have experience babysitting outside of my family. I used to babysit for my really good friend who has 2 children. Also from March 2017 to September 2017 I worked in a day care. I started out working my first two weeks in the toddler room and then moved over to the infant room 1-2 years of age, and finally settling into the baby room working with children 6 weeks to 1year. From 2018-2021 I worked for a family who had 4 children various ages. I would focus on the youngest during the school year and would have all 4 during the summer anywhere between 2-4 times a week. I currently started working with a family in September of 2021. I work with several kids now 2-3 regularly. Most of my toddlers will be starting preschool this year, so I am looking to move to in-home care at my house and bring in 1-2 more families or 1-2 more newborns-toddlers long term!!
