Joy Bedford Heights
$21 per hour for 1 child

I would describe my personality as calm, honest, and kind. I enjoy working with children because the time I spend with them supports parents in raising them “in the way they should go.” Helping instill morals, character, and work ethic (in alignment with each family’s values) through creative play and real-life experiences is truly a joy for me. I have experience with children of all ages, including infants, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I’m looking for a part-time, consistent position with a family who values collaboration and open communication. Families I’ve worked with describe me as dependable, patient, and resourceful, which I believe are key in creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for children. In my spare time, I enjoy quality time with my husband and stepson. One thing you should know about me is that I am a devoted Christian. I will never share my personal beliefs with your children unless you request it. For families who desire, I also offer Christian discipleship support.

$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kristin, and I have been working with children since early 2020. I am a teacher that loves working with kids, and strives to encourage them to be happy and healthy. I work hard to promote kindness, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. I am patient, warm, and engaging. I am also an academic wizard with an invested interest in any child's academic success. When I am with your child, I bring activities that take them away from screens. Save for dance parties; everyone should get a dance break at least once a day!

I am an experienced and compassionate caregiver with over 5 years of professional experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I currently serve as a Lead Preschool Teacher at a Head Start center, where I focus on early learning, kindergarten readiness, and supporting children’s social and emotional development. Previously, I worked as a Lead Infant Teacher in a 5-star Step Up To Quality center, providing nurturing, developmentally appropriate care and maintaining detailed developmental records. I am CPR certified and currently pursuing my graduate degree in Psychology at Cleveland State University. I am skilled in effective communication, time management, flexibility, and problem-solving. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and feel supported. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and attentive, and I value strong partnerships with parents to meet each child’s unique needs.
