Hello! I have always enjoyed working with young children. I began working at a daycare when I was 18 in the infant room. I stayed for 3 years until I was offered a job at a prestigious daycare for the preschool teaching position. I later left when offered a nanny position with a family from my old daycare. 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!

I have been a teacher for over 15 years and am raising my own two school aged children. I would love to work with your family part time, while me own kids are in school or even help after school when my own kids would be around too!

***I offer childcare in my own home as I currently care for my elderly parents.*** Hello! I’m Caitlin and thank you so much for taking the time out to check my page out! I am a veteran of Sittercity and have had quite a few families choose me as their caregiver for their children and I am more than happy to give their information to use as references! I like to do educational and value style of interactions as well as a lot of fun outdoor activities as much as the weather allows! If weather pushes us indoors, we do board games and crafts, as well as group activities so no one feels left out!

Hi! I'm Thayna, (it sounds like ''Tynah”). I'm 26 years old and I'm looking for part time babysitting position. Before moving here, I volunteered at a shelter where I cared for children ages 1 to 15 years. I have experience with children of different ages and families. At the moment I work daily (afternoons/evenings) with two boys (9 and 11), and I also babysit toddlers (2 and 4) on weekends. In the past, I have cared for other families as well, including three children ages 4, 6 and 7 for several months. I truly love spending time with kids and I always do my best to support their growth and happiness. I am patient, flexible, responsible, friendly and loving. I also have my own car, am comfortable with pets and can provide references upon request. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and energy to another family in need of childcare support.

Hi! I'm a student at Kent State University (currently taking a gap year) and the oldest of 5 children. I am an experienced caregiver with a background in both home-based care and an educational daycare. Over the years, I have gathered experience ranging from infants to elementary school age, providing developmentally appropriate care in a variety of settings. I have training in both cpr and first aid. As the older sibling of some special needs children, I pride myself in being a safe space for any and all children. My goal is that with every child who's life I'm apart of (no matter how shortly-) I'm creating a fun, engaging and entertaining experience that also fosters their growth and unique little journeys. I hope that you'll choose me for your angel's next adventure <3

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 graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor's of science in Early Childhood Education. 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. As one of few experienced male caregivers on Sittercity, I hope that if you're searching for an energetic, friendly, positive male role model to look after your kids, you'll reach out and see if I'm the right fit for you! 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!

Hi there! My name is Dai’Shunai, but everyone calls me Dai. I’m 24 years old and currently pursuing my Master’s degree after earning my Bachelor’s. Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with families on flexible schedules, caring for children 13 months- 17 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for up to three children at a time. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and highly engaging, and I enjoy keeping children active through hands-on activities such as puzzles, arts and crafts, nature walks, and educational games. I strongly believe in creating fun, enriching experiences that don’t rely on screen time. I’m happy to assist with homework, meal preparation, light cleaning, potty training, transportation, bath and bedtime routines, and pet care. I also have experience supporting children with ADHD and children on the autism spectrum. I’m based in Hudson, OH, and am more than willing to travel to meet your family’s needs. I look forward to bringing positive energy, structure, and creativity into your home!

Raised by educators, my experience as a caregiver began at age 12. Initially, I worked for families with children ages 5 - 9, eventually expanding to infants and young adults over the years. I am now the proud SAHM mother of 2 (age 18m & 4yrs). I am well-versed in feeding schedules and sleep training along with homework assistance and meal preparation. Additionally, I have a personal affinity for baking, exercise, and reading so I try to incorporate those activities whenever possible. I prefer to provide daytime care in my Brecksville home but am open to discussion for short term and last minute jobs.
