Find experienced child care providers in Stow, OH

Hi! My name is Diamond and I am currently a Graduate student getting my Ph.D in Counseling Psychology. In my journey, I realized my passion for working with children and adolescence. During the Covid lockdown, I got a job at a daycare and it was the most fulfilled I have felt in a job. It helped me realize my strengths as a caring, creative, and energetic person. Being able to work with children keeps my hope alive and allows me to connect with the future of our world. Being a part of their development and having the opportunity to learn from children is something I value greatly in life.

Hi, my name is Caidrea Barnes! I am 23 years old and live in Stow, Ohio. I am a graduate student at Kent State University. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and experience caring for special needs children. Before graduate school, I worked as a registered behavior technician with young children with autism. I love working with kiddos of all ages and stages!

Raised by educators, my experience as a caregiver began at age 12. Initially, I worked for families with children ages 5 - 9, eventually expanding to infants and young adults over the years. I am now the proud SAHM mother of 2 (age 18m & 4yrs). I am well-versed in feeding schedules and sleep training along with homework assistance and meal preparation. Additionally, I have a personal affinity for baking, exercise, and reading so I try to incorporate those activities whenever possible. I prefer to provide daytime care in my Brecksville home but am open to discussion for short term and last minute jobs.

My name is Cynthia. I am married and the mother of three boys, ages 6, 5, and 12 months. For the first four years of our boy's lives, I cared for our children in our home. The first three years of a child's life are invaluable and my ability to be with them during these critical years is one I will always be grateful for. Our day consisted of lots of outdoor play, trips to local parks and reserves, art and reading. Above all it was important to me to involve my children in the simplicity of the day. Everything that we did was used to feed their whole sense of self. From going to the farmer's market, library, hikes, or even gardening at home, my children thrived when they were involved in experiencing the day with me. When school age approached, myhusband and I enrolled or boys in a local private school that we felt best suited the learning style and curriculum that we had been implementing in our home. Due to the healthy rhythms and activities that were familiar to our children, the transition was seamless. I began nannying as my children started their journey at school. I was left with the desire to start this process again. My strong belief in the importance of children being at home from birth to age three overflowed into my newfound career. I have been honored to work for two incredible families in the last four years. I have watched their children grow and developed lifelong relationships with them. I am looking to begin a new journey with a family; one who shares the same love of child nurturing that I do. I prefer to nanny from your home to ensure a consistent environment for your child/children. Healthy foods, minimal screen time, and outdoor play are some of the fundamentals that will drive our daily routine. Some of my parenting techniques include: "RIE" as well as "Lifeways Childcare Providers." I am currently working on my Lifeways Child Care certification. I have a daily rate which includes gas for travel and cost of activities. I have annual memberships to Stan Hwyett Hall and Gardens, Akron Zoo, Hale Farm, The Museum of Natural History and Loyal Oak Lake. I am CPR trained and certified. I offer light cleaning, shopping, laundry, meal preparation, school/ activities transportation, and play dates. For your benefit and mine, I ask for a four week trial period. During this time we can determine if I am the best fit for your family.

Hi there! I am a fun-loving guy who has been working with children since High School, which is where I discovered my love for teaching young people and helping them to discover themselves and grow into wonderful adults!

I am a Paramedic with 10+ years of EMS experience and a former employee of Akron Children's Hospital, which gives me significant experience working with children with special health needs and developmental disabilities. I am currently looking for work that fits around my schedule, I currently work part-time but am also helping to manage and support my mother during cancer treatment. My schedule is generally flexible. As one of few experienced male caregivers on Sittercity, I hope that if you're searching for an energetic, friendly, positive male role model to look after your kids, you'll reach out and see if I'm the right fit for you! I do have numerous families available for references, however, as I've been finding work off a different website for years, most of my reviews are over there! Thanks!
