Find a last-minute babysitter in Strongsville, OH

Hello, my name is Laurin! I am currently a nurse for Cleveland clinic looking for a part time babysitting job. I worked at a before and after school daycare for 3 years. I also started babysitting when I was 14 and loved every minute of it! I have my own transportation and am willing to go to practices, movies, etc. if requested. I am more than qualified to help with school activities, cleaning house, making any meals, etc. I am willing to negotiate prices and absolutely can meet the family before setting anything up, let me know if anyone has questions!

Hi! I'd be happy to be your occasional date-night sitter! I've been babysitting for 14 yrs, and I'm very friendly, fun, trustworthy, and dependable. Prior to babysitting I was a flight attendant for 28 yrs, and each yr I had 2 days of emergency requalification, including CPR/First Aid. I enjoy playing with kids indoors and out, helping them to learn, and reading to them. I've been the 1st-time non-family sitter for most of the families I've worked for, and children feel comfortable with me really quickly. I work on call, weekday and weekend evenings from 5 pm - 2 am, 20/hr for one child and $25/hr for two children, with a 4 hr min. I take cash or check only. Short notice jobs are welcome; as long as I haven't already made plans I may be available within 3-4 hrs. I have twenty-eight 5-star reviews from two other babysitting sites, as well as a great written reference from parents whose son I took care of from 1 - 4.5 yrs-old before they moved to Europe, and I still work for them every Summer when they return to this area; I'd be happy to send you those reviews and reference. Thanks so much for reading my profile!

I have extensive experience and love working with large families and children with disabilities. I enjoy filling babysitting time with craftwork and enjoying the outdoors, and the kids do too! I am confident that whatever the challenge, I am up to the task, and have been a reliable go-to person for friends, family, and even former teachers for a variety of childcare needs. Since I was just a ten year old girl, I’ve translated my experience with my own anxiety into a comfortable stay for countless anxious pups under my care. Making sure your dog adjusts while away from their parents is my priority. I have spent hundreds of hours volunteering with animals at local rescues and have learned so much about how to provide the best, most loving care to your pet!

Hi! Next time meet you! My name is Gina and I am a proud mom of 4 children. I have 3 sons and 1 daughter their ages are 8, 6, 4, and 2. I love children with my whole heart and soul. My children are the greatest gift I have ever been given. The joy I receive from educating, nurturing children is a blessing. I always had a fondness for children as I looked forward to baby sitting my friends younger siblings. There is a song lyric I think about often it is “find something that you love and do it everyday, do that for the rest of your life and the world will change.” This is how I feel about childhood education and child care and why I am passionate about it. I believe how we raise children is the most important thing we can do to change the world. I believe all children are a gift from God. All of my experience and self education is life experience and reading books such as How to Talk so Kids will Listen and How to Listen so Kids will Talk, Whole Brain Child, and No Drama Discipline. I believe in gentle parenting to my core. Gentle parenting does not mean hands off parenting. It keeps adults educated on controlling emotions and parenting from an executive function part of the brain instead of a primal impulsive one (emotional). The behaviors we want to see in our children starts with us. I believe in using connection to foster respect for the positive behavior not punishment. Another thing I prioritize in child care is ensuring the children are safe. You ensure this by being involved with the children at all times (do not be on phone) and educating children on unsafe behavior. I also find education important which means being firm on limiting electronics. Encouraging children to use their imagination and reading. I am a Christian and have strong biblical values in case your family does as well. I respect all religions (except satanism) and above all I respect a parent’s choice for how THEY want to raise their child. I am self educated in health and do know how to cook a healthy home cooked meal and encourage children to try new foods by making it fun and silly. Which being fun/silly is usually the best way to motivate a child to do anything lol. Also for dog sitting/walking you can take almost all of my views above and apply to fur babies. Dogs just need love, patience and attention. I also have big love for dogs. Another blessing I feel god gave us is to care for animals. Thank you for taking the time to read. God bless you!
