Ashley L., Child Care in Akron, NY 14001 with 12 years of paid experience

I truly care about the children I look after and always lead with patience, kindness, and warmth. I've been caring for kids since 2012, with hands-on experience with children ages 6M - 14, and I'm comfortable adjusting to different routines, personalities, and stages. I believe kids thrive when they feel safe, seen, and encouraged to be themselves. I'm nurturing, patient, and creative, and I love connecting with children through play, art, music, movies, outdoor time, and simply being present with them-especially during big emotions or quiet moments when they just need support. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and respectful of each family's rules and preferences. I'm happy to help with daily routines and child-related tasks, and I value clear, honest communication. I'm hoping to find a family I can truly blend with and support long-term. Making children feel cared for and giving parents peace of mind is what makes this work so meaningful to me.

Hi, I’m Paige! I have over three years of experience as a nanny in Los Angeles, caring for both infants and toddlers. In addition to my hands-on childcare experience, I’ve worked as a substitute teacher, giving me valuable skills in education, patience, and creativity. I also spent time as a party princess, bringing joy and magic to children’s events—so I know how to keep little ones entertained! Currently, I work for Compeer, a mental wellness organization, where I support individuals in building confidence and connections. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to learn and grow. I am CPR and First Aid certified and know basic Spanish and intermediate level ASL.

Menayal T., Child Care in Akron, NY 14001 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi, families! My name is menahil and I am a medical school graduate . I have over 6 years of experience caring for children, ranging from newborns to teenagers, many of whom I have met through Care and while tutoring. I was a Sunday School teacher for few years before moving to Buffalo. Not only that, i also got to babysit with special needs. Children are such a joy and it has been a privilege to work with many families. While I value safety, it is also important to me that kids simply have fun in a creative, loving environment. I enjoy all aspects of childcare, but I especially enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor play, and reading.

Augusta R., Child Care in Akron, NY 14001 with 15 years of paid experience

I am a mother of three boys with over 10 years of experience supporting children from infancy through school age. I bring a calm, patient, and nurturing presence into every home I enter, with a focus on creating a sense of ease, structure, and trust for both children and parents. My background includes working in an inclusive early childhood classroom that supported both typically developing children and children with special needs, including autism and other developmental differences. In that environment, I helped create a structured and supportive space where all children could learn and feel valued. We also incorporated basic sign language to give children multiple ways to communicate, which strengthened my ability to support different communication styles, emotional needs, and developmental stages with patience and understanding. In addition to my professional experience, I bring personal experience as a mother of children with varying needs, including attention-related challenges, physical limitations, and severe allergies. This has deepened my awareness, adaptability, and commitment to safety, clear communication, and meeting each child where they are. Over time, my work has grown beyond childcare into supporting mothers as well, especially during the postpartum period. I understand how important it is for a mother to feel seen, supported, and able to rest while adjusting to life with a new baby. My approach is simple: I meet families where they are, offering gentle, reliable support that helps create a calm and functional home environment. Whether I am caring for your child, assisting with light household tasks, or giving you space to breathe, my goal is to support your family in a way that feels natural, respectful, and reassuring. I also offer postpartum wellness guidance through my business, Sacred Doula Service, for mothers seeking more intentional support during their transition into motherhood.
