Hi, I go by Miss Kristen! I graduated from high school in May of 2018. In addition I completed the Early Childhood Education program, that worked along side the preschool and kindergarten teachers. After high school I went to a community college for a year while I was an after school babysitter. I then worked at BioLife Plasma as a playroom attendant and receptionist for a year to then go back to being a nanny (full time). After that employment came to an end, I have been at University Hospitals (UH) full time for four years and love continuing to babysit on the side - such as weekends and weekday evenings! I have been providing childcare since I was ten. Over the years I watch many children (from the age of newborns to 12 year olds) for numerous families and various cities all over! I enjoy doing arts and crafts with the children! When the weathers nice I like to take them outside. As a babysitter I enjoy playing with them down on the ground, playing board games, and lots of sport activities. I also clean up any mess that was made while I am babysitting (light housekeeping)! I was in 4-H for ten years showing my guinea pigs and doing self determined projects. I was on the Junior Fairboard for Lake County for seven years. We help run the milkshake booth and various events through out fair week.

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 five year old boy with behavioral special needs and a 15 year old non-verbal boy with autism and Down syndrome part-time. ( I have worked with his family for 16 + 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 a nursing home 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 trampolines. 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 1st 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.

I am a registered nanny through an agency located in Beachwood, Ohio and would like the possibility of more jobs. I have been a full time parent to my 2 beautiful daughters who are now ages 32 and 33 and loved every minute of it. They are Irish twins.I can definitely relate to the pleasures and pressures of parenting directly. I believe my friends and former employers would describe me as funny and confident. I try to be very flexible and provide specialized care for each child. I have been an assistant soccer coach in the past for 6 years from preschool to third grade. I have also worked in my church's nursery and enjoyed it very much. I’m proud to have completed my formal training through the former English Nanny & Governess School located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 2015.

I have worked with children and animals for the majority of my adult life! After a brief career in cosmetology I’ve spent 8 years total as a part time nanny, babysitter, daycare worker, dog walker, and pet sitter. I love to be silly and enjoy the little things that make life special while looking after our most beloved, and most vulnerable little ones - both human and four legged! I really value being trusted with their care. I’m comfortable watching up to 3 children at a time and I have significant work experience with ages 0-5, however in my personal life I’ve experience with supervising children of all ages.

Hi! I love all kids & caring for them/helping them grow is my passion! I am the oldest of 6 kids. There has not been a time in my life where I was not around kids! I am a nursing major at Kent State & I know I will one day be a pediatric nurse. I work as a Nursing Assistant II at UH Rainbow Babies & Childrens hospital main campus (in downtown Cleveland)! I absolutely love working at Rainbow & I have happily worked there since May, 2022. I work in their float pool, meaning I go where the staffing needs are higher for that day! I am PRN, which means I schedule my own shifts every scheduling period (which allows me the flexibility to be a sitter as well)! Every scheduling period at RBC, I just have a minimum amount of hours that I am required to schedule, so as long as I meet the minimum, I can schedule as much as I would like or I can just work the minimum, allowing me this flexibility. This has given me experience as a nursing assistant caring for the kiddos on all of their units, including: the cardiac stepdown, the pediatric ICU, the child and adolescent psychiatric unit, their peds med/surg unit, the NICU stepdown, the respiratory floor, the GI/GU floor, & their pediatric hematology/oncology unit! I have trainings for pediatrics that I constantly have to stay up to date on as well. I could not say enough amazing things about Rainbow & how much I love working there! I also work at a daycare as needed (depending on staffing needs & my job at RBC) & I have happily been employed with them for over two years now as a childcare provider float. I love working with children. I am registered through OCCRAA and have completed all my required childcare trainings through ODJFS. I am CPR BLS certified. I am fully vaccinated, including fully COVID vaccinated as well! I can do light housework, laundry, or whatever is needed. I have my drivers license & my own vehicle for any transportation needs (a 2015 Chrysler 200 & completely safe)! I have a clean driving record (never even been pulled over) & a clean background check! I am completely okay with any animal care as well! I am hard working & punctuality is important to me! I am extremely easy to work with & very thoroughly experienced! Currently, I live in Willowick, OH! It is my passion to protect all of the tiny humans! I would love the opportunity to care for your kiddos as well!

Hello! I have nearly three years paid experience working in an early childhood education center. During my time there I worked with infants as young as six weeks old, toddlers, and preschoolers, up to age five. Also, I am experienced creating and implementing curriculum that is tailored to the interests of each child that will help build necessary skills while also building an interest in learning. The most rewarding part of working with children, for me, is seeing them accomplish something that they thought they couldn’t. I am experienced in introducing solids for the first time, and am very comfortable assisting families with this transition. I also have experience potty training, and will happily assist with this, often difficult, transition as well. I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and will wear a mask during my time in your home to protect your family and mine. I have a bachelors in psychology, with a concentration in child development. I am seeking to further my education through an online masters degree program with the goal of becoming a school counselor. I allow the children to take the lead on which activities they would enjoy doing, while ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being. Some activities that I highly enjoy doing with children include those that encourage sensory exploration, arts and crafts, imaginative play, puzzles, and building with items such as blocks or magnet tiles. Another activity that I enjoy is story time, this provides a great opportunity for younger children to be exposed to language and new words, while also allowing for ample learning opportunities for older children. I look forward to spending time with your children, and helping them grow and thrive very soon!

Hi families my name is Stephanie, I'm from Brazil, I'm 27 years old, I’m nanny/babysitter, I had experience as an au pair which has helped me improving with my English skills! I'm a communicative person, As a nanny used to live with the family and kids, while I lived in DC, I have patience to take care of kids even in bad situations, for example if the kid aren't having a good day, I understand that they don't know how express theirs feelings so it's normal sometimes they get mad or be a little bit mean, but if you talk nicely and try to understand them you got it, because it's possible!

Have babysitting experience over past 12 years caring for infants through middle school. Love children and pets and have raised my own over the years. For the past 8 years, I have been with a family of 5, with 3 children, helping to care for all of them, including their preteen daughter who batted brain cancer for 5 years. I also do light housework, laundry and prepare meals for the kids. I have been driving the youngest one to and from preschool as the others are on a bus transportation schedule. Lake County and East Suburbs of Cuyahoga County. Kids are definitely the key to our future and we need to spend time with them, make sure they know they are loved and appreciated, and that they are all destined for great things! Your family will become an extended part of my family, and I look forward to working with you. 🥰
