We absolutely love Lauren. She has been a wonderful caregiver for our toddlers and baby. Not only is she knowledgeable about child development, but she’s also so creative with activities. Every time she watches the kids, they are doing fun, engaging things that keep them excited and happy. She also helps out around the house, tidying up after the kids and even helping with meal prep, which is such a huge help for us. Lauren is reliable, kind, and our kids adore her. We feel so lucky to have found her!

April O., Child Care in Akron, OH 44313 with 18 years of paid experience

Working with children is my passion and I have done this my entire career. I am a certified teacher who chose to make childcare my full-time career in 2008. I have experience with ages newborn to 15 years old, including multiples. Pets and helping around the house are not a problem. I am reliable, honest, clean, and organized. I have a reliable and safe car with insurance and a clean driving record. I have a clean background check and resume with references available for interviews. I take pride in nurturing children and infants as they grow and learn, socially and educationally. I have two children of my own (both in school) giving me additional experience and compassion. I am looking to help out other families occasionally. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Nora C., Child Care in Akron, OH 44313 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! I am a college student currently living in Lewis Center, OH for the summer. I have been working with children for a while! I babysit for my family and friends often, but more notably I worked at Goldfish Swim School as a Deck Supervisor for over 3 years. There, I worked closely with students of all ages. I became close with many families due to the nature of my job being 1 on 1 support with crying kids, special needs kids, and kids who need extra help learning the material. Since starting college, I have worked in an afterschool daycare program. I have a Lifeguard Certification which covers First Aid and CPR. I am an Early Childhood Education major at Kent State University, and I am available much of the summer until I go back to Kent for school!

Hi! I’m Theresa 😊 I’m a reliable, caring sitter who genuinely enjoys being around kids. I have a calm, nurturing personality but I’m also fun and love keeping kids engaged with activities, homework help, or just making them feel comfortable and safe. I take responsibility seriously and understand how important trust is when it comes to your children. I’m very adaptable to each child’s needs and always communicate clearly with parents to make sure everything runs smoothly. I’d love to connect with you and your family!
