Daishunai S., Nanny in Kent, OH 44240 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi there! I'm Dai'Shunai — most families just call me Dai. I'm 25, currently pursuing my Master's degree, and have several years of hands-on experience caring for children ages 3 months to 17 years, including multiples. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, dependable, and genuinely love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged — think puzzles, arts and crafts, nature walks, and educational games over screen time. I also have experience supporting children with ADHD and autism spectrum needs. I'm comfortable with the full range: homework help, meal prep, potty training, bath and bedtime routines, transportation, light cleaning, and pet care. Based in Hudson, OH, and happy to travel. I'd love to bring structure, warmth, and good energy to your family!

Dana J., Nanny in Kent, OH 44240 with 6 years of paid experience

I have six years of professional childcare experience with all ages and I first started working with children when I was 16 through volunteering at my church and fell in love with it! Creating happy moments for children and a safe space that they’ll always feel loved in is what I’m about. I understand that each child is special for a reason and I enjoy being an integral part in their growth. I am someone that you can depend on, communicative, adaptable, incredibly patient, joyful, and very fun. I have excellent references and I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I can also provide my resume for anyone interested. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities, taking them on outings or walks, and teaching them in any way that I can. For a bit about me, I’m a middle child and both of my sisters are my best friends. My mom and dad both work in the medical field so an importance of safety was instilled in me since my childhood. A few of my hobbies include baking, crafting with polymer clay, candle making, or going on coffee trips. I’m also a huge lover of dogs and cats and willing to provide care for them upon request!

Dana is a wonderful caregiver for our son. She has been with us for a year since he was 4 months old. Dana is always very punctual, caring and professional. Our son lights up when she comes for the day. She spends time reading, practicing colors, numbers and other fun activities each day. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny or babysitting services.

Zach B., Nanny in Kent, OH 44240 with 10 years of paid experience

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 graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor's of science in Early Childhood Education. 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!

Zach is fantastic with kids young and old! Our youngest son gets anxious when mom and dad are away but he loves when Zach comes over! Our oldest asks for him by name and tells us to leave the house "so Mr. Zach can come play". Zach is knowledge of what kids like and gets right down on their level. He's a positive influence in our household when we're away, he was a big help with getting our three year old ready for preschool (we were at the end of our rope with potty training!) and has helped our almost seven year old iwith his reading! He's patient and has more unique experience than anyone else we found! We can't recommend him enough!

Linda M., Nanny in Kent, OH 44240 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello! 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. I’m looking for part time, hopefully I can be one of your sitters! If you feel that we may be a good fit, I look forward to hearing from you! Linda

Cynthia B., Nanny in Kent, OH 44240 with 4 years of paid experience

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.

Martraia was super helpful and wonderful with my babies. She was engaging with them, loved to play with them and read to them, and would hold them their entire nap just to comfort them. ❤️ I would recommend her any day.

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.

I have 5 years of paid childcare experience and grew up caring for my two younger sisters, which helped me discover my love for working with children. I’ve worked in daycares with children ranging from 6 weeks old to 5th grade, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of ages. I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their little ones, and I strive to make every family feel confident and at ease. I would love the opportunity to help your family!
