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.

Nicole O., Child Care in Rootstown, OH 44272 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Nicole. I’m a mom to 4 boys with their ages ranging from 23-15, and that is where most of my experience comes from. I have over 70 college credit hours, and most of them are in ECE (Early Childhood Education). Some professional experiences I have working with children are the daycares I worked at in the early 2000s. At Active Little Explorers for example, I became a toddler lead from 2006-2009. In 2009 I chose to switch back to working in healthcare. I have been a Certified Nurses Aide and Home Health Aide for over 20 years. I’m a compassionate and caring person as well as dependable and punctual. I enjoy working with children, teaching them, watching them learn, and having fun! I would love an opportunity to work with your child(ren) while always providing a safe environment. I do have First Aid certification. I do have a clean driving record as well as a clean background. I have been CPR certified many times, but not currently. If that is required, I can obtain it.

Martraia was super helpful and wonderful with my babies. She was engaging with them, loved to play with them and read to them, and would hold them their entire nap just to comfort them. ❤️ I would recommend her any day.

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!
