My name is Morgan and I hope to help you and your family meet caregiving needs! I have worked full-time as a Certified Child Life Specialist at Cleveland Clinic Children's for 2.5 years in the NICU and pediatric EMU. Due to working 8-5 during the week, and some weekends and holidays, I believe I will be of most help for date night purposes/ weekend needs. As a child life specialist, I work with pediatric patients and their families during their hospital admissions by helping promote a more positive coping experience for children through developmentally appropriate preparation, diagnosis education, teaching effective strategies and helping implement a child’s coping plan to the medical team. Most importantly, I work to help normalize the hospital setting and building rapport with children through play! In pursuing this career, I have had the opportunity to gain many different experiences working with children of all ages from infants to adolescents including previous experiences working for the YMCA, after school programming for a high school, and babysitting for a family during COVID in addition to my clinical experiences in the hospital setting that were required to obtain my certification. With my background in child development and psychology, I feel confident in my abilities to help guide children in their learning and growth both cognitively and emotionally. When I’m not working, I really enjoy, painting, exploring new parks with my fiancé, going to sports games, and spending time with friends and family! I think children I have worked with in the past would describe me as dependable, empathetic, patient, creative, and most importantly; fun!!!

I'm a college student attending LCCC currently for my Associates of Nursing. While I don't have professional experience babysitting, I have 2 younger siblings who I've nearly raised as my own kids since they were young. I am CPR and first aid certified. I decided to be a sitter due to my compassion for kids and ability to connect! My abilities also extend beyond sitting to more, such as basic household work (laundry, dishes, etc.), running errands, in addition to having my own car. I am particularly available in the mornings, but have a flexible schedule so feel free to reach out!

Hello! My name is Mallory Heartsong and I have almost 20 years of experience nannying and working with children of all ages including children with disabilities and infants! I live just a few miles away in Olmsted Township, and would love to meet your family to find out if we could be a good fit! I’ve been certified in CPR and first aid, though the most recent training was 3 years ago. I’m also a massage therapist and musician, if you desire your child to experience live music or infant massage, though I understand if that isn’t your preference. My background is in music therapy and I have studied children’s development as well. I’m available M-F though I have a chiropractic appointment at 5:30 pm on either Monday or Wednesday each week. Please feel free to look at my bio and contact me! The fastest way and most reliable to reach me with an unknown number and email is via text at 216-544-6870. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi!! My name is Stephany. I am one of 10 children, I being the oldest and the youngest being 9 years old. There are 7 boys and 3 girls. Most of them are in there teens now, but I have personal experience with a different ages. One of my brothers is handicapped and diagnosised being mentally retarded with a behavior disorder, so I also have some experience with disabled children as well. I also have experience babysitting outside of my family. I used to babysit for my really good friend who has 2 children. Also from March 2017 to September 2017 I worked in a day care. I started out working my first two weeks in the toddler room and then moved over to the infant room 1-2 years of age, and finally settling into the baby room working with children 6 weeks to 1year. From 2018-2021 I worked for a family who had 4 children various ages. I would focus on the youngest during the school year and would have all 4 during the summer anywhere between 2-4 times a week. I currently started working with a family in September of 2021. I work with several kids now 2-3 regularly. Most of my toddlers will be starting preschool this year, so I am looking to move to in-home care at my house and bring in 1-2 more families or 1-2 more newborns-toddlers long term!!

Hi! I’m Mia, a freshman at Ohio University. I’ve worked with kids of all ages for about 4 years now. And I’m looking to babysit on my breaks from school. :)

Hi! My name is Hannah and I am 31. From 2020 - 2021 I was a full-time nanny for a 2 year old, 3 year old, and 6 year old (all siblings). And was a nanny for families with kids ranging with children from ages 1 to 6years old from 2022-2023. I am a personal professional blog writer since 2015, am in the process of obtaining my BA in Creative Writing, have typing skills, and have been an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician/ABA therapist) full time since June of 2023. I have had 13 years working with children from babies to older teenagers. Prior to becoming an RBT I, in addition to working at multiple day cares and preschools, while taking care of a range of children (including some with special needs/autism), some of the experiences I've had throughout the years with children/teenagers would be: Being a PSR 2nd and 3rd grade teacher for a number of years. In addition to previously working in day cares for a while taking care of a range of children---- a floater, Lead and Assistant Toddler teacher, a Pre-K teacher assistant, and working with infants, and working with a lot of youth I was also a PSR 2nd and 3rd grade teacher for a number of years. As well as being youth councilor on retreats (2 years), Confirmation Formation Assistant for teens at my Church parish (1 year), and a Youth Minister Assistant for a littler over a year from 2022 - 2023. As an RBT/autism behavior therapist I love helping shape our client's behavior and communication skills, and helping them to communicate and to grow. While allowing them to still be themselves and respecting them as little humans and embracing all that they are and can be while meeting them where they're at. Making positive changes in children's and their families lives and giving families hope. I'm reliable, patient, caring, attentive, creative, flexible, easy going person, a planner, creative, fun, organizer, outgoing, structured, and like to multitask. I absolutely love working with children, especially children with special needs and who may be seen as a minority in society, and helping them reach their full potential.

Hi! My name is Grace Minnes and I am a recent undergrad graduate from the College of Wooster with a degree in Cognitive Behavioral Neuroscience. I have extensive background experience working with children and infants both with and without behavioral disorders. For the past 3 summers I have worked as a behavioral aid with the Cleveland Clinic Summer Treatment Program for Children with ADHD. I started working with children when I was in 6th grade and have not gone a summer without working with children! Working with children gives me so much joy because I love seeing how children interact with the world and watching them develop their own sense of self. Each child is different and unique and I enjoy exploring their interests with them. They always end up teaching me something! I love exploring the outdoors, playing sports in the backyard, and overall creating an adventurous environment when I babysit. I am currently getting re-certified in CPR and First-aid.

I am a mother of 4, and a grandmother of 6. I worked for 10+ years in daycare with the YMCA of Lorain and 1+ 1/2 years with the Abundant Life Church of Elyria.

I have experience babysitting children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve cared for multiple children at once, helped with meals, bedtime routines, homework, and playtime, and made sure children stay engaged in a fun and positive environment. What skills and training do you have? I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, with strong communication skills. I’m good at following instructions, keeping routines consistent, and handling unexpected situations calmly. I’m attentive to safety, organized, and always focused on making sure children feel comfortable and supported.
