Find experienced child care providers in Kent, OH

I have six years of professional childcare experience with all ages and I first started working with children when I was 16 through volunteering at my church and fell in love with it! Creating happy moments for children and a safe space that they’ll always feel loved in is what I’m about. I understand that each child is special for a reason and I enjoy being an integral part in their growth. I am someone that you can depend on, communicative, adaptable, incredibly patient, joyful, and very fun. I have excellent references and I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I can also provide my resume for anyone interested. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities, taking them on outings or walks, and teaching them in any way that I can. For a bit about me, I’m a middle child and both of my sisters are my best friends. My mom and dad both work in the medical field so an importance of safety was instilled in me since my childhood. A few of my hobbies include baking, crafting with polymer clay, candle making, or going on coffee trips. I’m also a huge lover of dogs and cats and willing to provide care for them upon request!

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 love being a baby sitter because I love children and helping them grow and learn. I was a Sunday school teacher for 2 years and loved it and have babysat my little cousins! I’m in the military so I’m CPR certified and know first aide. I love to cook and don’t mind helping around the house when the kids are busy playing! I’m very patient but stern when needed. And I would love to be of help to a family!

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! 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

My name is Cynthia. I am married and the mother of three boys, ages 6, 5, and 12 months. For the first four years of our boy's lives, I cared for our children in our home. The first three years of a child's life are invaluable and my ability to be with them during these critical years is one I will always be grateful for. Our day consisted of lots of outdoor play, trips to local parks and reserves, art and reading. Above all it was important to me to involve my children in the simplicity of the day. Everything that we did was used to feed their whole sense of self. From going to the farmer's market, library, hikes, or even gardening at home, my children thrived when they were involved in experiencing the day with me. When school age approached, myhusband and I enrolled or boys in a local private school that we felt best suited the learning style and curriculum that we had been implementing in our home. Due to the healthy rhythms and activities that were familiar to our children, the transition was seamless. I began nannying as my children started their journey at school. I was left with the desire to start this process again. My strong belief in the importance of children being at home from birth to age three overflowed into my newfound career. I have been honored to work for two incredible families in the last four years. I have watched their children grow and developed lifelong relationships with them. I am looking to begin a new journey with a family; one who shares the same love of child nurturing that I do. I prefer to nanny from your home to ensure a consistent environment for your child/children. Healthy foods, minimal screen time, and outdoor play are some of the fundamentals that will drive our daily routine. Some of my parenting techniques include: "RIE" as well as "Lifeways Childcare Providers." I am currently working on my Lifeways Child Care certification. I have a daily rate which includes gas for travel and cost of activities. I have annual memberships to Stan Hwyett Hall and Gardens, Akron Zoo, Hale Farm, The Museum of Natural History and Loyal Oak Lake. I am CPR trained and certified. I offer light cleaning, shopping, laundry, meal preparation, school/ activities transportation, and play dates. For your benefit and mine, I ask for a four week trial period. During this time we can determine if I am the best fit for your family.
