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!

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 enjoy an on the go lifestyle and keeping little ones active inside and outside of the home. 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. 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. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Robin is amazing. She's on time and always prepared. I wish we could keep her forever. Her word really is her bond. She cooked dinner every night for the family (evening babysitting), and she always brought crafts and activities to do with the children. I would hire her again in a second.

Anna went above and beyond our children. She helped shape our children’s future by talking with them, engaging with them in activities and teaching them along the way. She communicated with them in a way that not only did they understand but retained the vocabulary as well. Other examples include teaching our children how to dress themselves to helping our children with potty training. She was an instrument in my children’s life and will always be a part of our family. I give Anna the highest of reviews.

Jessica J., Child Care in Independence, OH 44131 with 12 years of paid experience

My name is Jessica, and I’m a wife and mother of two wonderful boys. I earned my degree in Special Education from Ohio University and have extensive experience working with children from infancy through school age. I taught kindergarten for two years, worked at KinderCare for ten years, and assisted two families with pod learning during the pandemic. Currently, I’m a teacher’s assistant, seeking a less demanding role to allow more time for involvement in my children’s schooling and extracurricular activities. At KinderCare, I served as the Learning Adventures teacher, where I led small groups in subjects like math, music, reading, and phonics. I was also a Pre-K teacher for three years and floated between classrooms during my spring and summer breaks. I absolutely love working with children! Creating a structured and engaging environment that fosters developmental growth is one of my greatest joys. I have a passion for working with kids and a deep patience for navigating different personalities. Knowing I can be a listening ear or a helping hand in a child’s life is what makes my work so fulfilling.
