I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.
“Ava is a wonderful babysitter. She kept my daughter active, having fun and learning while doing things! My daughter LOVES Ava and gets so excited when she is babysitting. I recommend Ava without hesitation. You and your kiddos will love her.”
Hi! My name is Lilah. I am a certified Direct Support Professional, and am also certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, and Safety Care. I spent the last year and half working professionally with people of all ages who have Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. I am well equipped with the skills to handle anything that goes on in a relaxed or wild household! I am a laid-back and creative person who has always loved working with and getting to know kids. I was a babysitter for 4 years and worked with kids of all ages- which I absolutely loved. I am a big animal person as well, and am not afraid of any messes. I actually really like to clean! I would be happy to care for kids of any ages, cats or dogs, or assist with any errands or household tasks.
With over 10 years experience nurturing kids from newborns to teens, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional support to both your children and your family. I bring fun, creativity, and a sprinkle of imagination to every babysitting gig while ensuring parents feel secure knowing their little ones are in caring hands. With a Master's in Social Work and a career dedicated to empowering seniors, I am equipped me with exceptional communication skills, allowing me to connect with children on their level while fostering a safe and engaging environment. Whether it's organizing fun activities or providing emotional support during difficult moments, I thrive on creating positive experiences for every child in my care. I am eager to broaden my day-to-day experiences by returning to my roots of working with kids. Being active and engaged is essential when caring for children. Whether it's organizing outdoor games or crafting creative projects indoors, I always strive to keep kids entertained while nurturing their creativity. My strong communication skills allow me to build trusting relationships with both children and parents alike, ensuring open lines of dialogue about any concerns or updates. I pride myself on being punctual and responsible. My patience and creativity allow me to tackle challenges with a positive attitude. I have experience with caring for up to 8 kids at once. I thrive in busy settings where I can make a positive impact on young lives. I have successfully managed bedtime routines, meal preparation, homework assistance, responding to atypical physical and intellectual abilities, transporting to and from activities, and while maintaining a fun and active atmosphere. My ability to communicate effectively with both children and parents has always been a cornerstone of my approach—fostering trust and ensuring everyone feels heard. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your family's needs and how I can contribute positively as your babysitter.
I grew up taking care of my little cousins and dogs! I used to work in a nursing home as a wait staff. I am going into nursing for pediatrics. I now own a little black cat named Jasper. I enjoy doing art, reading, and playing outside with kids!
Hi! My name is Lauren, and I have a Master’s degree in Psychological Science from Tulane University. I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with the goal of working with children and families. My education has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional well-being, and creating supportive, engaging environments for kids of all ages. I’ve worked with children in a variety of settings, including as a STEM Lab Leader and Literacy Tutor at GiGi’s Playhouse, where I support children with diverse learning and developmental needs. I’ve also provided one-on-one childcare for children with special needs, tailoring activities to each child’s strengths and interests while ensuring they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve volunteered with organizations that support children through education, mentorship, and enrichment programs. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely caring. I love planning fun, screen-free activities like crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and creative projects while always prioritizing each child’s safety and well-being. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I strive to create a positive, nurturing environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel comfortable. I look forward to getting to know your family!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
