A little bit about me
I recently turned eighteen, and I'm looking to babysit until I head off to college. I've taken first aid and cpr classes at school, I'm currently in early childhood classes, and I absolutely love working with kids! Although I'm brand new at official babysitting (I watch my young family members from time to time) I am confident with my skills as a caretaker!

Hello, my name is Lisa! I'm 25 years old and with 10 years of childcare experience. 5 of which is part and full time nannying.
A few things I can provide are healthy meals, a plan for each day that includes activities, outings, rats & crafts, and fun learning opportunities. I also have multiple references available upon request. I am a photographer as well, and love to provide photo updates throughout the day. I am open to household duties as well that we can discuss at the interview. I have experience with all ages and children with special needs. I also have safe, reliable transportation. Having me as your nanny is a way to have a peace of mind that your child will be taken care of by me like it's my own.

A little bit about me
I’ve been working as a cook for 15 years but I’ve always wanted to work with children. Because of my background I can create healthy meals on a small budget. I worked with children with special needs through my church before I ended up choosing a different career path. I’m very detail oriented and have a very large capacity for multitasking. I love singing along and dancing to all Disney movies, especially the classics!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Julia I am 20 years old and I'm about to move to Lakewood! I have been caring for kids in my family since I was 11, and have been a paid babysitter for about 2 years. I also was a gymnastics coach for roughly 4 years working with kids aged 3-13. I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn and grow! I am CPR and First Aid certified. I do not currently have a car but am actively working towards getting one, and would be able to find reliable transportation for work. I love being active and being outside, I try to do that with the kids I care for as much as possible. I am good with pets, and would do light housework as well! Let me know if you have any questions! I do not have a drivers license or a car, so I really am looking for something in Lakewood and easy to get to!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a bilingual aide for Cleveland Metro Schools, currently supporting students in grades K–8. I have 4 years of experience in daycare, preschool, and public school settings, with my strongest experience in preschool-aged care.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish with a minor in Communication, and I bring a calm, creative, and caring approach to my work. I strive to help kids feel safe, encouraged, and understood—whether we’re playing games or working through emotions. I’m also happy to support household routines and keep open communication with parents throughout the day.
I’m looking for a summer role with a family who values a reliable, nurturing caregiver. I also enjoy taking kids on outings, like the park, library, or a local museum—anything that gets kids exploring the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing yoga, and going to the beach.
