Dana J., Child Care in Rootstown, OH 44272 with 6 years of paid experience

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!

Dana is a wonderful caregiver for our son. She has been with us for a year since he was 4 months old. Dana is always very punctual, caring and professional. Our son lights up when she comes for the day. She spends time reading, practicing colors, numbers and other fun activities each day. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny or babysitting services.

Alexandra R., Child Care in Rootstown, OH 44272 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Nora C., Child Care in Rootstown, OH 44272 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! I am a college student currently living in Lewis Center, OH for the summer. I have been working with children for a while! I babysit for my family and friends often, but more notably I worked at Goldfish Swim School as a Deck Supervisor for over 3 years. There, I worked closely with students of all ages. I became close with many families due to the nature of my job being 1 on 1 support with crying kids, special needs kids, and kids who need extra help learning the material. Since starting college, I have worked in an afterschool daycare program. I have a Lifeguard Certification which covers First Aid and CPR. I am an Early Childhood Education major at Kent State University, and I am available much of the summer until I go back to Kent for school!

Kimara A., Child Care in Rootstown, OH 44272 with 6 years of paid experience

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

The only reason Kimara isn't my go-to babysitter anymore is because she left Georgia! My boys loved her and they were always doing a fun and creative activity or learning something new. I couldn't recommend her more!
