Nanny And, Or, Babysitter Available

Responds within a few hours

I have babysat and took care if my 3 cousins and my sister (12 years younger than me) since I was 12 years old until I moved away for college. When I began babysitting the ages of my cousins were 9, 7, 4, and my sister was about 3 months old. I have experience taking care of special needs children as well. I began going to college for Nursing in 2016, but changed my major to Social Work in 2018. I will be graduating from The University of Memphis (online schooling) this December 2020. Beginning in the Summer of 2021 I will be attending Grad School to earn my Master of Social Work. My end goal is to become a Psychotherapist working with children who have experienced trauma. I am full of imagination and adore caring for children. I, myself, throw tea parties for my gal pals and love a good dress up day. I enjoy engaging children the many adventures that the great outdoors holds.

Responds within half an hour

I enjoy children and get a lot of joy out of nurturing and teaching them! I am physically fit, CPR certified for infants and children, and I have my own reliable transportation. I am a positive person who gets along with everyone. I can provide references upon request. I have experience with all age ranges. I am available past midnight, but not overnight. Also, I can sometimes change my day time schedule around in order to accommodate a few hours, so please do not hesitate to ask! I am a great date night sitter, Monday-Sunday. The schedule does not reflect accurately my availability, so please do not hesitate to ask! r In addition, pets are not an issue for me! No allergies or fear of our four legged friends! I enjoy helping out with them too, and am available for pet sitting duties! Bottom line: I now have more time to do things that bring me happiness and joy. Children and pets certainly are great sources for me, so I want to help where/when I can. Thank you for reading this -Cathy.

Jennifer J.|Akron, OH

$15-25/hr • 10 yrs exp • 22 yrs old

I am 21 years old and an Early Childhood Education/Special Ed major at the University of Akron. I also take classes in music and dance, and love to sing and learn languages. I've been babysitting since I was 11, and have experience with kids of all ages (3 mo-14 yrs). I plan to change the world through education by helping kids believe in themselves, see all of the beauty in life, and care about things enough to want to make a positive impact themselves. I love stories (telling and hearing), playing games, going on adventures, looking at the sky, and making music the very most. :)

She is very patient and consistent, I have 4 children 2 of which have special needs and often exhibit disruptive behavior and she did amazing work with them. She potty trained my youngest and was always willing to do anything for any of my children. She truly is a life saver.

I can't say enough positive things about Kaitlyn. Even though she only worked with our family for a short time, she made sure our children were kept busy by going outside (even if only for a walk), playing board games, crafts, etc. She even took them for ice cream! Our children looked forward to the days in which Kaitlyn would be with them. I highly recommend her to any family.

Elise G.|Akron, OH

$10-20/hr • 10 yrs exp • 30 yrs old

Caregiver

While pursuing my BA at The University of Akron, I would provide weekend and evening child care for local families. After graduation in 2013, I was hired as a full-time nanny for a family and their 3-month-old daughter. It was my greatest joy to watch her grow, and then her brother too, as I cared for them and their home for nearly seven years. I left in the summer of 2019 to pursue a position at a local independent school, Old Trail. My philosophies, focus and teaching style were each highlighted by their mission. The school, located in a national park, and the only one of its kind, holds in high regard the importance of outdoor exploration, hiking, exercise and the mental health of each of their students. As a nanny, deeply involved in daily activities and development, I am passionate about the conscious and present understanding of the complex emotions of children. Always patience, always kindness.

Josephine R.|Akron, OH

$15-25/hr • 4 yrs exp • 22 yrs old

I am a professional, licensed babysitter babysitting/nannying full time while I go to school online. I am extremely active and love to take the kids outside to go for walks or hang out at the park. I am also a huge fan of arts and crafts, or just snuggling up to watch a movie before bed. I love to help with homework, and to inspire children in their learning through tutoring, flash cards, games, etc. Although I have taken classes in caring for young children specifically, I am more than qualified to take care of older children as well. Cooking/meal prep is something that I am more than willing to do, and I have my own car. I am licensed in baby and adult CPR, and I graduated from high school in the top 10% of my class. I love meeting new families and building a lasting bond with the children/parents I work for.

Jessie H.|Akron, OH

$12-20/hr • 5 yrs exp • 22 yrs old

I love working and playing with kids. Growing up I had a lot of younger cousins so I am used to being around younger kids. I am very responsible, caring and patient. I am flexible and will do other tasks if needed. The past few years, I have watched my now 3-year-old niece, spent long weekends at my aunt house babysitting my 8 cousins age ranging from 2-14, spent the summer at my other aunts house and helped with her 5-year-old triplets and 7-year-old son. I helped a lot throughout the day and would watch them if they went out for date nights. Also watched my old bosses 2 kids that were 2 and 6. I would drive the older one the summer camp some days and watch the younger one during the day.

Childcare

Hello! My name is Summer. I am 34years old. I provide numerous services which include but are not limited to the following; child care, pet sitting, pet care, house cleaning, and organizing services. I have great references and years of experience. I am also a hard, dedicated and honest worker. I have two children of my own. Two boys, one 13 and one 6 years. I am very energetic, love to make crafts and be outside. I do not believe in sitting a child in front of screen as a form of entertainment. However, every once in a while, I do like to play video games with the kiddos, they seem to like that. Personally, I believe they just think it is funny that I am not that good at them, but it boosts their own confidence so it is worth it. I look forward to speaking with you, thank you in advance for your time.
