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.

I've trusted Ashley with my daughter's care since she was about two years old, and she's now ten. Over the years, she has been a steady, caring presence in her life, helping with morning and everyday routines, playtime, and overall support as my daughter grew. She's also taken her overnight for sleepovers, where they'd spend time together watching their favorite shows and just enjoying each other's company. They've even spent a few New Year's together, which speaks to the level of trust and comfort we've always had. Ashley is patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids she cares for. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! <3

Linda was awesome! She watched my 2 boys (22 months and 5 y/o) for the majority of the day and evening while my husband and I attended a wedding in downtown Buffalo. She was great with communication, we were able to FaceTime ahead of the wedding so my older son could meet her and be comfortable and the day of she sent me message to keep my updated on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Linda! If we are even in Buffalo in the future and need a babysitter we would definitely use her again!

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.

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.

I love being a sitter because kids are so positive, and they bring so much light to each day, which is so meaningful to me. I understand how difficult it can be for parents to leave their kids for work or any other reason, and being someone who can help out in those moments is extremely fulfilling. Playing, reading stories, or chatting about the weather can all be so entertaining with kids and can be so crucial to their development. With babysitting, children get more one-on-one attention, as opposed to a daycare or camp, which can also benefit them. I babysat my nephew from when he was three years old to nine years old, which is six years ago to today. We have built such a meaningful connection because of it. I taught at a dance studio for a year, with kids from ages three to eighteen, and I have volunteered with kids a couple of times. I have developed a lot of patience, communication, and problem-solving skills through these experiences. I am also First Aid and CPR Certified through the National CPR Foundation.
