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!

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!

Hi there! My name is Dai’Shunai, but everyone calls me Dai. I’m 24 years old and currently pursuing my Master’s degree after earning my Bachelor’s. Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with families on flexible schedules, caring for children 3months- 17 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for up to three children at a time. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and highly engaging, and I enjoy keeping children active through hands-on activities such as puzzles, arts and crafts, nature walks, and educational games. I strongly believe in creating fun, enriching experiences that don’t rely on screen time. I’m happy to assist with homework, meal preparation, light cleaning, potty training, transportation, bath and bedtime routines, and pet care. I also have experience supporting children with ADHD and children on the autism spectrum. I’m based in Hudson, OH, and am more than willing to travel to meet your family’s needs. I look forward to bringing positive energy, structure, and creativity into your home!

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.
