Donna U., Child Care in Westlake, OH 44145 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!

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!

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!

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I'm currently looking for a part or full time position with a loving family after moving back home from the west coast. About Me: I have over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, stable environment with a focus on fun, learning, and balance. I plan outings, activities, art projects, obstacle courses, etc. to keep kids engaged and happy while also ensuring that they have downtime to recharge. I recognize that all families and all children are different. I can quickly adapt my approach based on the uniqueness of each child and the needs of the family. Hope to hear from you soon!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Rachael. From day one, she gained the trust of both of my kids through her warm tone, playful energy, and genuine attention to who they are as individuals. She has a special talent for making everyday moments fun and cooperative. For example, when my son was deep into space and astronauts, she turned breakfast into “astronaut fuel from outer space” — and suddenly eating was an adventure instead of a struggle. She’s thoughtful like that. She remembers little details about each child (like how my younger one likes his morning “nest” with all his stuffies and a blanket) and uses those details to make them feel safe and understood. She is incredibly responsible and reliable — always on time, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I especially appreciate how responsive she is. Mornings can be hectic, and she consistently shows up ready to help. One of her first questions is, “How can I help?” — and she means it. She’ll jump in to tidy up blankets, reset the couch, or handle small things without being asked. It makes such a difference. What stands out most is how calmly and proactively she navigates tricky moments. Once when my son was upset and crying in the car, she had already anticipated the possibility and brought bubbles to help him regulate — which worked beautifully. Another time, she noticed him swinging a chip clip on a string in a way that could have been unsafe. Without any prompting, she stepped in kindly, explained the issue, and he willingly stopped — and hasn’t done it since. She handles safety with confidence and warmth, not fear or overreaction. She drives my kids to daycare in the mornings, and I feel completely at ease knowing they are with her. She brings a bubbly, joyful presence into our home that we all genuinely look forward to. Any family would be lucky to have her.
