Skye Akron
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Skye!😊 I’ve been working with kids for a long time. I started babysitting my younger cousins around age 12–13, mostly kids under 5 and infants. From there, I helped out at my great-aunt’s in-home daycare whenever I didn’t have school and sometimes after. I babysat a lot throughout middle school and high school for families in Twinsburg and for family members. My senior year, I worked in an after-school program, and during 12th grade I was also an assistant after-school childcare director at the Carl Reminderville Athletic Club. The summer after I graduated, I worked full-time at an in-home daycare called Kayla Cares for Kids as an assistant daycare teacher. Since then, I’ve gone back to babysitting and nannying. I’m now a sophomore at the University of Akron majoring in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Child Development. I also work as a substitute paraprofessional in the Cuyahoga Falls City School District, mostly in elementary schools. I have all my background checks through the state of Ohio, and one of my classes has me observing in an elementary school this semester too. I really love working with kids and feel very comfortable with all ages.

Sydney Akron

Hello! My name is Sydney and I have been working with children since I was a senior in high school. I started my journey working with school aged kids, but realized I seemed to thrive working with younger children. I decided to work in preschools and found my passion there, but I really enjoy working with children of any age. I have spent time as an intern for a children’s choir and I have a vast knowledge of music. I have also spent time working at a sports camp for young girls, so I have some sports knowledge as well! I have a lot of training in early childhood education and I am CPR and First Aide certified!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
