Sittercity helps Kent families find the best nannies

Hi, my name is Tayler! I have over 10 years of experience working in childcare and have cared for children of all ages and stages. My favorite part of working with kids is watching them learn, grow, and discover new things each day. I love creating fun, engaging activities that encourage learning while also supporting each child’s unique personality. When children are in my care, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and confident. I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and encouragement as they grow.

Hello! I've been nannying for the past 4+ years. I am a veteran of the Army National Guard/ Reserves and am currently in graduate school part-time for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently looking for full-time or part-time opportunities.

With over 5 years of childcare experience, I am very passionate about providing children with a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I was a Lead Toddler Teacher for 2 years and a Lead Preschool Teacher for 3. I have also taught school age children ages 6-15. I have also taught swim lessons for 3 years. Additionally I have a lot of experience working with children with disabilities in a variety of settings. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have a drivers license and a car. When I’m not teaching and caring for children, I enjoy swimming, board games, photography, and art. I am very passionate, empathetic, caring, and patient and I look forward to meeting and caring for your little ones.

I'm looking for part time, hopefully I can be one of your sitters! I have a lifetime of hands-on experience being the eldest of five. Now I’m a grandma of two boys. I've worked full time for 40 years, the first 20 as a travel consultant and 20 as a church secretary. I then transitioned to this role which I find rewarding and fun. I worked regularly for a family with 3 girls, ages 7 and 4 year old twins for the past 7 years, all of which are now in school. They also have a dog and cat, I grew up on a small farm so I’m very animal friendly. My husband and I are life-long residents of Cuyahoga Falls and own our home. Our son and his family live just two blocks away. We are blessed with frequent visits from our 6 and 10 year old grandsons. If you feel that we may be a good fit, I look forward to hearing from you! Linda

Hello my name is Rachael. I have always enjoyed working with children. I have over 6 years experience working in a licensed daycare facility where I was active in all the rooms of all ages. I started in the toddler room for about 2 years, then moved over to become the lead preschool 4/5s teacher for a little over a year before going back to school and working in the infant room for the remainder of my time at the center. After I moved to New York and worked as a live in nanny for a family with 3 children for about 4 years. I helped with all meals, homework, playtime, bath time, bedtime, errands, housecleaning, school activities, grocery shopping, laundry and general housekeeping.

Hi! My name is Rheagan Thompson and I have lots of experience with babysitting.

I always am a middle school girls basketball coach in which I have received a background check, CPR certification, First Aid certification, concussion training certification along with lots of experience with helping children and coaching them to be their best self! I love being around children and pets. My career goal is to be a neonatologist and some of my favorite hobbies are playing basketball, working out, cleaning and organization!

I grew up with three younger siblings and I took care of them a lot until I moved out. I also have babysat and nannied for multiple families in the past which has been such an amazing experience.

Hello! My name is Izzy, I’m a 23 year old collage student at Kent State pursing a degree in special education. I’m passionate about nurturing young minds and fostering growth and development. I have three years of childcare experience at the Akron YMCA and 5+ years of experience working with children. I'm hoping to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your family! I’m patient, creative, and passionate about my work in childcare. Clear communication is key, so I keep parents regularly updated on their child's day, whether through verbal updates at pickup, text messages, or phone calls—whatever works best for you. My approach to childcare prioritizes safety first, and fun second. With children I enjoy playing outdoors, engaging in games and puzzles, or supporting development through educational games. I have First Aid and CPR training, so you can rest assured that your child's well-being is in capable hands. I'm also more than happy to assist with tasks like cooking meals, carpooling, light housekeeping, and whatever else I can to support your family! If you have any questions please reach out!

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 student at Kent State University, where I am finishing my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I am a Paramedic with 5+ years of 911 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 for the Fall semester, which has me available nights, weekends, and mornings before school starts. 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, unfortunately I've been finding work off a different website for years and my reviews are all on there! Thanks!
