About

Sunflower Childcare Substitutes

We provide substitute early childhood educators on demand to support child care centers in need across Northeast, Ohio. We employ, train, and send qualified teachers to centers in the Greater Cleveland and Akron areas, including Summit, Lake, Stark, Geauga, Cuyahoga, and Medina counties. Our CEO’s and Client Success Manager have over 60 years of combined experience and knowledge in the early childhood field. We understand how challenging it can be to spend numerous hours covering room ratios while your daily operations are being put on pause. We know how important it is to be flexible in a field that must accommodate families’ individual needs, which led us to pursue Sunflower Childcare Substitutes.

Sunflower Child Care Substitutes Employee Recruiter

  • Since 1995, I've been dedicated to childcare, shaping young minds and fostering growth. Family is my foundation—I'm a proud mother of three boys, a grandmother to a granddaughter, and happily engaged to my childhood sweetheart.

    I've taken on the role of Staffing Manager at Sunflower Subs, and I’m excited to apply my childcare experience to building strong a team. I look forward to making a positive impact and connecting with others passionate about professional growth!

  • Intake Specialist

    I live in Columbus with my wonderful husband Isaac and my sweet fur child Sammi. In my spare time I am always trying to get outdoors for some hiking or kayaking, and I'm part of the Akron Roller Derby team! My derby name is Spider-Gwen or Spidey.

    I've worked in child care since 2020. I am beyond excited to be apart of this company and ever grateful for the wonderful experiences to come.

  • Business Development Representative

    I believe in children. I am in awe of their sense of wonder. Impressed by their tenacity. And I am delighted by their giggles. My favorite Dr. Seuss quote is "KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS". 

    In my role as Sunflower Subs' Business Development Representative, I want to get to know you and form positive partnerships, so that we together can MOVE MOUNTAINS!

    I am a Medina girl who loves a Medina boy.  We together created a home and raised a son, and two daughters...our pride joys!  We enjoy everything outdoors, boating, camping, hiking, fishing; but, most of all, just being together!

  • Marketing and Special Projects Manager

    Hi, I’m Sav! I am behind the scenes most days managing marketing and ensuring all our systems and operations are working for YOU! I have a dual BA in Education and Communication and have worked in childcare for over 10 years. In my personal time, I like to be outdoors with my dogs and husband, or crafting while listening to podcasts.

  • Hello my name is Whitney! I have spent the last five years in customer service and administrative roles. I look forward to connecting with you and helping you achieve outstanding results as Gina’s Admin Assistant!

    I have two dogs and a flock of 40 chickens. In my spare time I enjoy being in the garden, or in the kitchen.
