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 five year old boy with behavioral special needs and a 15 year old non-verbal boy with autism and Down syndrome part-time. ( I have worked with his family for 16 + 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 a nursing home 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 trampolines. 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 1st 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 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.
