Find experienced child care providers in Wadsworth, OH

Hi! My name is AnnaClaire, and I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist currently in my fourth year working with preschool through 3rd-grade students at Black River Local Schools. I’m originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, but now call Medina home! I’m looking to connect with local families who need occasional childcare during the school year (after school, evenings, or weekends) or more consistent help over summer break. I’ve always loved working with kids and have been babysitting since I was in 5th grade, giving me over 15 years of childcare experience! I’ve also spent over 10 years nannying for multiple families and previously worked in childcare at barre3’s Play Lounge. Between nannying and my career as an SLP, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all different ages, personalities, and abilities. One of my favorite parts of babysitting and nannying has always been getting to know the families and building relationships with them over time. I’d love to find a few local families I can continue working with throughout the year! I’m happy to provide references, verify my professional credentials, or share information about the background checks I’ve completed for my school-based employment upon request. Looking forward to getting to know you and your family!

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.

I have 2 nieces and a nephew that I adore. Being around children gives you a fresh perspective that is needed within adult minds. I used to work at a daycare for about a year with kids ranging from month old babies to middle school children. I volunteered for the zoo and helped with the zoo camp. I also was able to teach a couple lessons to second graders. I used to tutor high school students and help them out with their homework. I also used to babysit and value outside time to play.

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.

Hi, my name is Rebecca Laughlin. I'm currently a 4th year college student at the University of Akron and majoring in Social Work. I grew up with a family of 4 children. I frequently babysat for neighborhood kids during the summer and some dates nights.

I hope that I get the chance to meet you guys and help take care of your family.
