A little bit about me

As for my qualifications here is a list:
1. I have a degree in Elementary Education from Baldwin Wallace University
2. I am certified in CPR and First Aid
3. I have worked at a before and after-school program as a teacher’s aide for about two years
4. I subbed in Strongsville City Schools for children from 5 years old to 12 years old
5. I also have 10 years of experience running my own in-home childcare service. I really enjoyed teaching the children that I took care of their letters, numbers, and shapes. I helped the children paint, color, and make a variety of crafts.

But I believe the most valuable qualification that I have in order to be a nanny is my 20 years of experience being a mom. I know how to multitask, run a household, run errands, and organize activities .

I am available for full-time work. I believe all of my previous work experience has helped me so that I can be a wonderful nanny for a family sometime soon!

"Kim Moore was a nanny for our family for 13 months. She cared for our daughter (2 to 3 years old) and then our son after he was born (birth- 6 months). Kim did an excellent job caring for our children as well as working hard with our daughter to help her potty train, sight read her ABC’s, numbers, colors, shapes and other items that were advanced for her age. She really spent time putting together crafts and activities that my daughter loved to do. She would work with us on what our expectations were for development. She would bring in fun activities that would help my daughter learn as she played. Kim spent a great deal of time putting thought into how to structure the day and the activities that would be educational. ​Kim is very thoughtful, respectful, and skilled. Our children both adore her and love to see her every morning. As a parent, you are always concerned about the wellbeing of your child. I always knew that she would care for them as if they were her own children."

I create safe, engaging, play-based environments where children thrive while giving parents peace of mind through dependable care and thoughtful communication. My greatest strength is observing each child’s unique development and using individualized strategies to help them grow with confidence and joy. I believe children learn best through secure relationships, curiosity and play.

"Lydia is an amazing caretaker and teacher. She is very patient with our special needs child, and follows his lead and engages with him in ways that are fun and educational. She finds ways to incorporate his interests into learning opportunities. Her past occupation as a special ed teacher comes through very clearly. She’s not just watching our child, she is finding the best approaches to help him develop. Our son has come a very long way thanks to her. She is punctual and responsive. We trust her with our son."

A little bit about me

I was a CT/MRI technologist for 30+ years. Now retired. I love children! Much experience, excellent references. I adapt to the parent's parenting. The child will always be loved and well cared for. I can be very adaptable to changing schedules. I am only looking for a part time position, 18 an hour or above. I am open to nanny share, which is a really good idea. Stuff happens. If there are two people covering a schedule, you won’t be caught short. I would like to mention that I’ve had 3 Covid vaccinations and 3 boosters. . Please note that I am not able to work fulltime, because I have another family on Fridays. References are all very good. I have an adverse
on Checkr showing I lost control of my car. This was in 12/19. I slid on black ice and just slid across the road. It wasn’t bad driving.

"Mary has been watching my three-year-old daughter for nearly two years, and I am continually impressed with her professionalism, reliability, and the strong bond she has formed with my child. Mary consistently arrives on time and has shown remarkable flexibility with her schedule, which has been incredibly helpful for our family. Her ability to adapt to our needs, while maintaining a calm and positive attitude, has made her an invaluable support to us. What stands out most is the genuine connection Mary has developed with my daughter. My child looks forward to spending time with her, and I can see the trust and affection that has grown between them. Mary engages with her through play, learning activities, and attentive care, ensuring she feels safe and happy at all times. I wholeheartedly recommend Mary as a babysitter. She is dependable, caring, and a wonderful person to have looking after children."
