Find experienced babysitters in Mentor on the Lake, OH

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 kind , loving, & smart 7 year old boy , and an adorable 16 year old non-verbal boy with autism and Down syndrome ( I have worked with his family for 17+ 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 nursing homes 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 making up silly stories with kids. 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 K 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.

I am a registered nanny through an agency located in Beachwood, Ohio and would like the possibility of more jobs. I have been a full time parent to my 2 beautiful daughters who are now ages 32 and 33 and loved every minute of it. They are Irish twins.I can definitely relate to the pleasures and pressures of parenting directly. I believe my friends and former employers would describe me as funny and confident. I try to be very flexible and provide specialized care for each child. I have been an assistant soccer coach in the past for 6 years from preschool to third grade. I have also worked in my church's nursery and enjoyed it very much. I’m proud to have completed my formal training through the former English Nanny & Governess School located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 2015.

Hi, I go by Miss Kristen! I graduated from high school in May of 2018. In addition I completed the Early Childhood Education program, that worked along side the preschool and kindergarten teachers. After high school I went to a community college for a year while I was an after school babysitter. I then worked at BioLife Plasma as a playroom attendant and receptionist for a year to then go back to being a nanny (full time). After that employment came to an end, I have been at University Hospitals (UH) full time for five years and love continuing to babysit on the side - such as weekends and weekday evenings! I have been providing childcare since I was ten. Over the years I watch many children (from the age of newborns to 12 year olds) for numerous families and various cities all over! I enjoy doing arts and crafts with the children! When the weathers nice I like to take them outside. As a babysitter I enjoy playing with them down on the ground, playing board games, and lots of sport activities. I also clean up any mess that was made while I am babysitting (light housekeeping)! I was in 4-H for ten years showing my guinea pigs and doing self determined projects. I was on the Junior Fairboard for Lake County for seven years. We helped run the milkshake booth and various events throughout fair week.

If you’re looking for a loving, nurturing babysitter, then look no further!

I have also been an after school coordinator as well. I am certified in CPR and first aid for adults, children and infants.

Hi families! I’m Carolyn Walker — a mom, early childhood therapist, and caregiver who truly loves helping little ones grow. Parenthood has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m so grateful to share it with my wonderful husband and our spirited three-year-old son. Being a mother has only strengthened what I’ve spent the last ten years doing professionally: supporting children’s emotional, social, and behavioral development. As an early childhood therapist specializing in behavioral therapy and autism support, I understand how uniquely and beautifully each child learns and grows. My approach is rooted in patience, empathy, and meeting children exactly where they are. Whether you need reliable babysitting, consistent nanny support, or an extra set of hands during busy moments, I bring my therapeutic background directly into your home by creating: ✨ Safe, nurturing, and consistent routines ✨ Hands-on, age-appropriate activities ✨ Calm, supportive guidance during challenging moments ✨ Environments filled with joy, play, and trust I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your child’s world. My goal is to make your little one feel supported, engaged, and genuinely cared for whether I’m hosting them in my home or caring for them in yours. I’m excited to partner with families who want not just a sitter, but someone who understands child development, loves children wholeheartedly, and will cheer your little one on every step of the way.

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!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. I enjoy building relationships with children and helping them learn and grow through everyday activities and play. What experience do you have? I currently work at a preschool, where I care for children throughout the day and help with routines, playtime, and activities. I also have babysitting experience providing one-on-one care for children of different ages. What skills and training do you have? I am CPR and first aid certified. I have strong child supervision and communication skills, along with patience and reliability. My preschool experience has taught me how to manage routines, keep children engaged, and handle different behaviors calmly while prioritizing safety.

I started babysitting at 13 years old and I furthered my experiences by becoming a nanny 3 years ago. My most recent and current experiences are in being a professional Nanny, but the certifications and experiences required to become a nanny overpower the credentials needed to be a sitter. Although it will be an odd change to go from a nanny schedule to a baby sitter's; it is a task I am more than confident I can handle.

I am a current college student who has only worked with kids for the past 3 years. I’ve been a babysitter, youth swim teacher, and a youth soccer coach and I’ve loved every second of it. I understand the importance of keeping kids safe and happy. I am cpr and first aid certified to ensure your child is safe.
