Christina G., Babysitter in Portage, OH 43451 with 1 year of paid experience

I am a great sitter who works in my home, with families dropping off their children. I worked in healthcare for 10 years, and I don't mind long hours and physical work. I am compassionate, patient and accommodating. I can routinely babysit for 12-hour shifts, for nurses, healthcare techs and shift workers who may be having a hard time finding a sitter willing to work long hours. I work weekends, too. My clients can count on me to take care of their children every day, even if they are sick. I watch infants, even preterm ones, by holding them all day if needed. I offer these extras and I keep my fees low because I was a new mother once and I remember how difficult it was to go to work. This past year I have cared for a 3-year-old with autism, which has been very rewarding. I am limiting myself to three children so that I may give them lots of attention. I have been CPR certified for 10 years.

I am a retired special education teacher; I have experience teaching and caring for children of all ages. I was living out-of-the-country for several months, and have recently returned. I live in the Bowling Green, Ohio, area and am interested in a part-time/full-time nanny situation. I am willing to do light housekeeping, and I am very comfortable with animals. As a teacher, I can assist your child/children with their homework or assist in helping them learn to read.

Kenna S., Babysitter in Portage, OH 43451 with 5 years of paid experience

I just graduated college with my Bachelor of Science, and I am looking to work with kids until I start my doctorate program. I am patient, hardworking, responsible, fun, caring, and trustworthy. I have a reliable car in case of emergency or transportation needs. I love the outdoors, playing soccer, spending time with friends and family, cooking, cleaning, picking up new hobbies, etc. I have always loved babysitting and have 7 years of experience. I currently have experience working at a daycare program and nannying a 4 month old. I would love to help out as little or as much as needed. I like to be hands on when I babysit and spend meaningful time when a child is in my care. I would love to get in touch and answer any further questions!
