Hi! I'm Joy and I am an energetic bilingual (Spanish) caregiver with many years of experience across all ages, from infants to teens. I currently work part-time with a kind , loving, & smart 7 year old boy , and an adorable 16 year old non-verbal boy with autism and Down syndrome ( I have worked with his family for 17+ years) I have a B.A. in Spanish and an A.A.S. in Occupational Therapy Assistant Technology . I have previously worked here in Cleveland in the rehab dept. of nursing homes as a COTA, at Trader Joe’s , and as a preschool teacher at Mandel Jewish community center. I grew up in Portland, Oregon and I absolutely love the outdoors, metro parks, animals, music, and arts & crafts....tons of crafts! (I carry around a box of craft materials in my car at all times, and kids know me for this). I also enjoy children's books, the library, board games, and making up silly stories with kids. In addition, I still like to climb trees and play hide and seek, sing, dance, goof around, and be silly when silly is called for. I volunteered as an English teacher for K thru 6th grade students with WorldTeach while living abroad in Costa Rica for two years . I’m adventurous and tons of fun, but I don't forget to enforce rules, teamwork, sharing, respect for other kids, and cleanup . (I trained with Amy Speidel to learn "Conscious Discipline" and continue to get coached by her). If your kids are young, you will often find me on the floor playing and recalling what it was like to be that age.

hello my name is Gianna, I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for children and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. I used to work as an assistant teacher caring for toddler-aged children, where I changed diapers, prepared meals, and planned fun, age-appropriate activities.

I’m also a college student studying nursing, with future goals of becoming a Labor & Delivery nurse, so I take responsibility, safety, and compassionate care very seriously.

Hello! I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your child(ren)! I am currently working as an Infant and Toddler Teacher, a role I have held for nearly three years. I am now seeking to transition into a nanny position, as I am passionate about supporting children and helping families thrive. In addition, I am preparing to open my own learning studio this May, which will focus on parent-child bonding classes. I studied Music Education at Cleveland State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree, and I have also completed coursework in Child Development at Post University. My primary experience and expertise are with children from birth to three years old, though I also have experience working with preschool-aged children. I have always been deeply interested in child development and the psychology behind how children grow and learn. This passion has only strengthened since becoming a parent myself last August. I am committed to creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment that supports each child’s developmental growth. I am also happy to assist with establishing consistent routines, potty training, and transitions such as introducing solid foods. I value open communication, collaboration, and transparency with the families I work with, including regular updates and sharing photos when appropriate. As a parent, I understand firsthand the importance of trust when it comes to caring for your child, and I would be honored to provide that level of care and support for your family. Thank you for your time and consideration!
