Find experienced nannies in Wadsworth, OH

I have been a teacher for over 15 years and am raising my own two school aged children. I would love to work with your family part time, while me own kids are in school or even help after school when my own kids would be around too!

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.

Hi, my name is Caidrea Barnes! I am 23 years old and live in Stow, Ohio. I am a graduate student at Kent State University. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and experience caring for special needs children. Before graduate school, I worked as a registered behavior technician with young children with autism. I love working with kiddos of all ages and stages!

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.

I am a reliable, patient, and energetic nanny with experience caring for children from infancy through childhood. After nannying, I worked as a preschool teacher for over a year and as a teacher assistant in infant–toddler classrooms, giving me strong skills in early childhood development, age-appropriate learning, and nurturing routines. I’m confident handling feedings, nap schedules, curriculum-based activities, and safe, engaging play. Families describe me as responsible, communicative, and genuinely invested in children’s growth. My goal is to provide consistent, supportive care that helps both children and parents thrive.

I am currently a Middle School Writing Teacher for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. I graduated from Ashland University with a Bachelor’s in Middle Grades Education (ELA and Social Studies). I have been a Writing teacher for about 2 years. Before starting this position, I was a Substitute Teacher for about 2 1/2 years, with grades K-5. Growing up, my Grandma ran a daycare. Once I was a teenager, I frequently helped her run her day care. Taking care of infants all the way up to 5 years old. I have such a love and passion for working with children. However, I need to take a step away from the classroom setting for a while, and work in a different environment.

MY EXPERIENCE I am blessed to be a mom, but my baby is now an adult and out on his own! I am a stepmom to a live-in young adult male with autism, and this experience has taught me how to communicate in a whole new way. In addition to being a parent, I was a babysitter for many years in my teens. I currently babysit the children of extended family members whenever possible! WHY I LOVE IT I was recently laid off from my corporate job and have decided to switch gears and follow my heart by pursuing a part-time job caring for children. Working with children makes me happy. I truly enjoy watching them grow and live life to their potential. Being a part of that journey is extremely rewarding. As a parent, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I am someone who will show up, engage with your children, help them develop, and reinforce your household routines and rules. MY SKILLS & TRAINING - Adult and Pediatric First Aid and CPR Certified - Patient, trustworthy, kind, and caring - Fun, energetic, like to play games and be creative - Enjoy the outdoors (hiking, water and snow skiing, etc) - I am a dog person. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and a few birds. I enjoy most pets. Exceptions are snakes and hairy spiders, but I can deal with them if they are in a secure cage:)

Boy mom here! I have over 13 years of experience in the medical field, along with extensive childcare experience prior to that. I worked as a nanny for 3–4 families and spent 12 years at Lewis Little Folks, NASA’s on-site childcare center. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children ranging in age from 6 weeks to 13 years old. I began babysitting neighborhood children at a young age and obtained my first daycare position at a local center near my home. As a nanny, my responsibilities included preparing and serving breakfast and lunch, transporting children to and from school, chaperoning playdates and field trips, planning age-appropriate outings, and providing light housekeeping. I pride myself on being reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s individual needs.

I have such a passion working with kids usually multiple at a time! I love showing them the love I can give and I can teach them practical life skills in the house. I have experience in two different churches babysitting for their children ages ranging from infant to 13. I can make food and I love doing art and helping the kids find their creative side. I worked in a special needs van for Norton and I also work with 5 different families as needed for their kids some having 4 kids at once! I have a Cosmetology License and I have CPR training. When I’m not with kids I am usually painting or outside in nature coloring! I love exploring the kids passions with them and helping them excel in them! I am super energetic and I love to move and play with the kids! I love cleaning the houses and straightening up after the kids before parents get home for less stress on them! I have my own car and I am skilled in catering to the child’s specific needs and interest! Contact me with any questions!
