Copley
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 26 families in Akron, OH

Hi!! My name is Paris and I’m a School Psychologist during the school year and have some availability during summer break. My passion Is working with youth and helping them learn in a way that meets their individual needs! I've been a nanny for children from infancy to teenage years. I have also tutored in multiple subjects. I decided to get back into nannying for summer vacations since I do not work during the summer months.

Paris is wonderful! She cared for my 1 year old daughter for a few hours and did an excellent job. She arrived early and immediately engaged my daughter and my daughter didn’t even realize I was leaving (I drove away watching my daughter laugh and giggle :-) Paris is exactly what I look for in a sitter; she’s reliable, punctual and very kind and caring! I will not hesitate to hire her again!

Aurora
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Akron, OH

Hi! My name is Erica, and I’m a dedicated and experienced child care provider with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to pre-teens. I graduated from Clark Atlanta University and have a deep passion for helping children grow, learn, and thrive in a safe, supportive environment. Throughout the years, I’ve worked with families of all sizes, including those with multiples and children with special needs. My goal is to create a nurturing, engaging space where kids feel loved and parents feel at ease. I love planning creative activities like arts and crafts, reading time, outdoor play, and learning games that support development and imagination. I’m also happy to help with school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, light meal prep, and bedtime routines. I believe in clear communication with families and building trust through consistency, patience, and genuine care. Safety is always my top priority. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and can provide excellent references upon request. I look forward to being a dependable, positive part of your child’s day!

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
$16 per hour for 1 child

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."

"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)."
