Hi! I have 30 1/2 years of experience as a Professional Career Nanny seeking employment with a family I can grow with. I also have years of experience as a Household Manager and as a Family/Personal Assistant. As well as a Pre- School Teacher's Assistant/Teacher. I majored in Early Childhood Education while in college. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am a non smoker. I have had the pleasure working with children from newborns, toddlers, and teens. As well as experience with twins, ADD, ADHD, Aspergers, mild cerebral palsy, autism, and down syndrome. I try to be the best role model for children. I love to get out and explore and encourage active participation, while creating a fun, positive environment. I love helping guide children to be the best them that they can be, to grow emotionally, and influence them to be creative, bright, responsible, kind, and loving young adults. I treat children like they are my own. I am well organized, I can multitask well and I am also motivated and hardworking. I love being silly with kids and having fun with them! I am always open to learning new things. I am compassionate, patient, mature, responsible, and loving. I love organizing, and turning homes into a stress free zone where my employers can find more time for themselves and their family. Thanks so much!

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!

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!!
