Hi! I'm Thayna (pronounced “Tynah”), 26 years old, and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position. Before moving here, I volunteered at a shelter where I cared for children ages 1 to 15. I have experience with children of different ages and families. Currently, I work 3 days in the mornings taking care of an infant, and I also babysit toddlers (2 and 4 years old) on Saturdays. In the past, I’ve cared for other families as well, including three children ages 4, 6, and 7 for several months and another family’s children ages 9 and 11 for two years.

Hello! I have always enjoyed working with young children. I began working at a daycare when I was 18 in the infant room.

I then nannied for 8 years with a few wonderful families. I am currently dispatching full time from 4pm to midnight and nannying part time. I'm looking for a loving, positive environment, and look forward to meeting your family!

2018: Hello my name is Alexandra! I love children and am looking for a steady job babysitting throughout this summer before I start school again in the Fall. I have been watching children since I was 13 years old starting out with my little cousins then moved onto family friends and so on. I am comfortable with watching newborns - teenagers. I am very playful and love to interact with the kids and can help with homework. I currently attend Kent State University where I will major in nursing. I hope to become a pediatric nurse after graduation. Life update 2023: Hello everyone! In 2022 I graduated from Kent State University and started my dream career as a Pediatric ICU nurse. My passion for children continues to shine through no matter what I do. I currently work part-time nights at the hospital and am looking for PRN/occasional sitter needs, 1-2 days per week and occasional weekends if needed. Although I truly love my job as a nurse, I simply miss being a babysitter/nanny so I figured I’d try to start again now that I have the time.

I have 2 nieces and a nephew that I adore. Being around children gives you a fresh perspective that is needed within adult minds. I used to work at a daycare for about a year with kids ranging from month old babies to middle school children. I volunteered for the zoo and helped with the zoo camp. I also was able to teach a couple lessons to second graders. I used to tutor high school students and help them out with their homework. I also used to babysit and value outside time to play.

Hi there! I am a fun-loving guy who has been working with children since High School, which is where I discovered my love for teaching young people and helping them to discover themselves and grow into wonderful adults!

I am a Paramedic with 10+ years of EMS experience and a former employee of Akron Children's Hospital, which gives me significant experience working with children with special health needs and developmental disabilities. I am currently looking for work that fits around my schedule, I currently work part-time but am also helping to manage and support my mother during cancer treatment. My schedule is generally flexible.

I do have numerous families available for references, however, as I've been finding work off a different website for years, most of my reviews are over there! Thanks!
