April O., Child Care in Valley City, OH 44280 with 25 years of paid experience

Working with children is my passion and I have done this my entire career. I am a certified teacher who chose to make childcare my full-time career in 2008. I have experience with ages newborn to 15 years old, including multiples. Pets and helping around the house are not a problem. I enjoy an on the go lifestyle and keeping little ones active inside and outside of the home. I am reliable, honest, clean, and organized. I have a reliable and safe car with insurance and a clean driving record. I have a clean background check and resume with references available. I take pride in nurturing children and infants as they grow and learn, socially and educationally. I have two children of my own (both in school) giving me additional experience and compassion. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

We had Jenna nanny for our 1 and 2.5 year old full time for a week before they started daycare and have used her as a sitter since then. She's fantastic; she's reliable, the kids love her, she comes up with fun things to do with them such as walks to the park, filling up the kiddie pool, play-doh, reading books etc. She prepared their snacks and lunch, kept up with the potty training schedule, put them down for naps. We highly recommend her as a nanny and sitter!

I also have years of experience as a Household Manager and as a Family/Personal Assistant. As well as a Pre- School Teacher's Assistant/Teacher.

As well as experience with twins, ADD, ADHD, Aspergers, mild cerebral palsy, autism, and down syndrome. I try to be the best role model for children. I love to get out and explore and encourage active participation, while creating a fun, positive environment. I love helping guide children to be the best them that they can be, to grow emotionally, and influence them to be creative, bright, responsible, kind, and loving young adults. I treat children like they are my own. I am well organized, I can multitask well and I am also motivated and hardworking. I love being silly with kids and having fun with them! I am always open to learning new things. I am compassionate, patient, mature, responsible, and loving. I love organizing, and turning homes into a stress free zone where my employers can find more time for themselves and their family. Thanks so much!

We absolutely love Lauren. She has been a wonderful caregiver for our toddlers and baby. Not only is she knowledgeable about child development, but she’s also so creative with activities. Every time she watches the kids, they are doing fun, engaging things that keep them excited and happy. She also helps out around the house, tidying up after the kids and even helping with meal prep, which is such a huge help for us. Lauren is reliable, kind, and our kids adore her. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Donna U., Child Care in Valley City, OH 44280 with 20 years of paid experience

Currently I’m available for occasional, date nights & daytime . I have a permanent Saturday/Sunday position (4 years so far) for a 6 year old, 2 toddlers & an infant. This family found me through SitterCity. I am experienced with newborn, toddlers & school age children.  I am always open to occasional sitting so that the family & I can get acquainted.  I really like reading & playing & visits to the library. I previously finished a job with a Westlake family of 3 boys for 4 years when they aged to self care. (Palmer reference available upon request).   A previous position entailed caring for 2 adopted girls who were 4 & 5. I worked for them for 4 years & still see the girls occasionally. (Corsaro reference available upon request). Formula, park & library visits, preparing meals for the whole family or just the kids & getting them to eat & into bed happy are all part of my experience. I love to help with homework or just teach younger children the basics.  I teach children how to cook or bake when appropriate - or just decorating the finished cupcakes!  (@donnathebaker on Instagram) I am happy to help with light housework tasks & laundry as needed. I love all pets but am allergic to cats.

I recently hired Donna to watch my 3 kids a few days a week. She has been wonderful. I have a very crazy schedule and she is super accommodating, and very punctual, which is a huge thing for me! Not to mention she is great with the kids. I love her enthusiasm and energy! My very picky almost 2 year old has taken to her very fast and my older kids enjoy spending time with her. She not only takes care of the kids but she engages them in activities. In fact, she is baking cupcakes with my 8 year old today! I cant wait to get home! lol. And the other day she organized my pantry!!! What more could you ask for! We are super pleased with Donna! She has really been a blessing to our family! And if you want her, you might have to fight me for her!

I'm a college student attending LCCC currently for my Associates of Nursing. I have professional experience babysitting for about 2 years now, as well as 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!

Hi parents!! If you are looking for a responsible, energetic, and genuinely caring babysitter who your kids will love and you can fully trust, I would love to connect with you. I recently graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Biology and am taking a gap year before starting PA school. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and that carries into how I care for children of all ages. I have experience babysitting everyone from newborns to 16 year olds. I am confident with infant care, diaper changes, bottle feeds, nap schedules, and all the little details that matter. For older kids and teens, I enjoy helping with homework, creating fun activities, and making sure they feel supported and safe. I am CPR certified, have my own reliable car, can prepare meals, and am happy to help keep your home clean and organized. Whether you need after school help, date night coverage, or consistent weekly care, I am dependable and easy to communicate with. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. I would be happy to provide references and set up a call to see if I am a good fit for your family. Feel free to reach out. I would love to chat with you soon ◡̈

Maria D., Child Care in Valley City, OH 44280 with 5 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because caring for children brings me so much joy—every day is different, and I enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and supportive environment. I value building trust with families and making sure parents feel at ease knowing their little ones are well taken care of. I have over 4 years of experience caring for children of different ages. For the last 2.5 years, I’ve looked after 4-year-old twins, creating fun daily routines, helping with learning activities, and keeping them engaged and safe. Before that, I cared for a 9-year-old and 3-year-old twins for 1.5 years, balancing homework help, playtime, and daily care. Through my experience, I’ve developed strong skills in multitasking, patience, and problem-solving. I’m attentive to children’s needs, able to manage different age groups at once, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I’m also trained in CPR and First Aid.
