Kristin Cleveland
$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!

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.
