Kathleen N., Child Care in Oberlin, OH 44074 with 2 years of paid experience

I am a patient, kind and caring individual with a warm personality who has decades of experience with children. I babysat and nannied as a teen caring for young babies, toddlers and preschoolers and worked as a camp counselor for 8 to 10 year olds during my college years. I have now raised four children with my youngest child being 18. As someone who enjoys being a caretaker and a homemaker above all else, I am looking to share my homemaking skills, enthusiasm and positive attitude with another family in need of a seasoned caregiver for their children. I am CPR + First Aid certified. I enjoy connecting with children of all ages through games, snacks, conversation and helping them learn. I enjoy tidying homes and prepping for meals. I have my own car and can also assist with running local errands on occasion if needed. I’m ready to fill in the gap for parents looking for a trustworthy and dependable caregiver who will take a genuine interest in their children, creating a safe and comfortable environment for children while parents are away.

We adore Kathy! She is a tenured caregiver, with years of mothering and basic culinary experience. She is kind, gentle, and extremely patient, having the perfect demeanor for caring for babies and young children. Kathy is exceptionally detail oriented and was great at coming up with educational and fun activities to keep our son entertained without any screen time. She followed our desired schedule to a tee, putting our six-month-old son down for his naps, feeding him his bottles, and giving him plenty of tummy time and independent play. She took him outside frequently when the weather was nice, so that he could experience different textures and environments. On rainy days, she read and sang nursery songs with him. She kept our home very neat and tidy and was happy to cook and support us in our baby led weaning approach to introducing solids, which made the transition less daunting that it would have been otherwise. Kathy was a lifesaver when it came to soothing our baby from teething, always chilling the appropriate teethers and offering them to him for comfort. She is very reliable, punctual, and overall really great with children. Our baby loved spending time with her. We trust her completely, I only wish we lived closer so that she could be our nanny!

Leta B., Child Care in Oberlin, OH 44074 with 1 year of paid experience

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!

Stephany L., Child Care in Oberlin, OH 44074 with 6 years of paid experience

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!!

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.

Heather B., Child Care in Oberlin, OH 44074 with 0 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because interacting with kids and helping them grow is very important to me. I also love being a sitter because I want to help families in need of care, and create a safe and trusting bond with both parent and child. Experience I have is babysitting for my family, as well as working a summer job at the Children's Learning Center at LCCC. I have strong childcare skills, including creating fun and safe activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and maintaining routines like bedtime. I’m trained in CPR and first aid, so I’m prepared for emergencies. I also have experience with conflict resolution, patience, and communication, which helps me connect with kids of different ages.
