I have been married to my husband Doug for 11 years and we have 3 kids, Peyton (19), Kamryn (17), and Brantley (11).
My husband and I both grew up in Sandusky, Ohio and moved to North Ridgeville about 12 years ago. We have loved raising our kids here, but every summer we miss Sandusky and being by the lake, so we make sure to visit often.
I have been a dental hygienist for 13 years and have been lucky enough to work at an amazing office in Norwalk ever since I graduated from hygiene school in 2012. While I love where I work I have been longing to do more.
Beth and I have been friends for a very long time. I was there when she built Babysitting Connection from the ground up. I still remember her picking out the name and logo. I have watched her make so many great connections with families and sitters and I know how passionate she is about helping others. When Beth offered me the opportunity to launch Babysitting Connection here in Northern Ohio I knew it was the right thing for me.
I cannot wait to connect with families here in North Ridgeville, in my hometown, and everywhere in between. I know this is a great service to the community and I feel there is a need for families to get the help they deserve during some of the most stressful and fulfilling years of their lives.

Parent Testimonials
I’m so thankful for the past two years with Babysitting Connection!
When working for BC you have the ability to work around a busy schedule, the parents are great with communication, the BC team is great with communication and I love the BC group meets. They have always been supportive, kind, and structured. If you’re looking for a job I recommend Babysitting Connection. I’m so thankful for the past two years with Babysitting Connection!

We were so happy to have her stay with our kids!
I really don’t want to share the good news because everyone will want to book Kim. She was on-time, assertive, and enthusiastic. She enabled us to leave the kids peacefully, as she quickly gained their attention. She followed the game plan perfectly and left the house just as she found it. We were so happy to have her stay with our kids!

Our son felt happy to have her there
You know someone is special when your 2 year old runs up to them upon the first meet and gives them a hug! Jillian was wonderful and it was clear from the beginning that our son felt happy to have her there. Highly recommend and looking forward to having her back 🙂

Savannah was incredible with my children!
Savannah was incredible with my children! She was on time, kind, responsible, creative and my children adored her. She sent me a picture of the kiddos but handled the 8 hour day with them like a true professional! Highly recommend having Savannah as a babysitter!

Above all, they are kind and responsible
I’ve always relied on my own connections for my babysitting needs, but my work load has increased and the importance of reliable childcare have become more and more important. I turned to Beth to find me consistent care with quality sitters and she has MORE than provided. I’ve had the privilege of working now with several sitters on her staff and they are all wonderful and unique. Above all, they are kind and responsible. Beth runs a fantastic business!!!

Maddy
8 Years of Experience
Comfortable with infants +
I've been nannying and babysitting for the past 8 years. I have worked with kids from 3 months old to 8 years old. I love playing board games, playing outside, and playing creative games with or without toys. I recently stopped nannying since receiving my Bachelors in forensic chemistry. However, I would still love to put my skills to use as "the fun babysitter". I have a lot of experience with childcare and love keeping kids entertained with my animated personality!
