JobsNOW: 24-hour daycare looking for dedicated workers
CAMPBELL, Ohio (WKBN) – Childcare is important. The state has rules on how many workers must be watching with various numbers of children present, and a local provider is hiring.
Children grow fast. La La's Daycare Learning Center in Campbell is growing just as fast as the little learners. It was started to provide a different option.
'We are a 24-hour childcare center, and that's something that sets us apart from a lot of childcare centers in the area,' said Latisha Weaver, owner of La La's Daycare.
La La's Daycare had its grand opening on Easter. It needs more childcare workers with a quickly growing roster.'It seems like we have majority of preschool-age kids. So, anyone interested in working with the younger kids, we definitely could use help with the younger kids,' Weaver said. Employees must pass a background check. They also get training in multiple areas of safety, health, and recognizing abuse related to children.
La La's wants workers who are excited about taking care of children, and also teaching them.'That's a big thing that La La's Daycare Learning Center is about, is actually teaching the kids to their ability — what their ability is,' Weaver said. Weaver prefers a worker with experience. She can provide a shift to meet your need, too, whether it's days, evenings, or overnights.
The children have big personalities. Weaver feels they're fun to be around and wants a worker who can match that personality with compassion.
'You definitely have to have patience with kids. You definitely have to get to know their strengths and weaknesses, because all kids are different,' she said. And they all get treated the same at La La's.
Weaver is ready to talk with people who are interested in working with her and the children. She is also hiring home health aides for the other side of her business, which is La La Love Healthcare.
To apply, call and make an appointment at 330-937-2248. The daycare is located at 178 12th Street, Campbell.

Local barber brings big city feel to small town studio
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – A new barbershop in Boardman is looking to add some local barbers to the team. Kiernan Kiske opened the doors to Stylogarten Barber Studio March 1. Growing up in Poland, Kiernan Kiske wanted to be a tattoo artist, but he could never find a place to learn. Eventually, he got tired of his desk job and took a leap, applying to barber school. 'At that time, the only one around was in Niles — Raphael's, and so that was whenever I quit my job the day that I signed up. I never really thought about cutting hair, but I was like, let's give it a shot,' Kiske said. From that point on, Kiske fell in love with cutting hair. Starting in 2020, he spent five years in a space with other artists until this March, when he opened his own studio — Stylogarten on Market Street. 'I wanted to create my own space. I'd collect a lot of art, Italian glass, very much in arts and culture. I thought that would be my first step into trying to curate a spot that doesn't necessarily look like a barbershop, a traditional barbershop,' Kiske said. Kiske says he loves the freedom of self-employment, and he was excited to bring his own style to the new studio. 'I had this spot open up, and it kind of just seemed to be the perfect timing. I was ready to expand, and my clientele was growing a lot, so I was like, maybe I need a bigger space. Maybe I could start bringing on some other guys who see the same vision as me,' Kiske said. Stylogarten has five open spots that Kiske is looking to fill with local barbers over the next two years. Though the walls of his studio are lined with a wide variety of paintings and decor, he's keeping those five booths empty so any new barbers can bring their own touch to the studio. 'I am trying to make it way more personalized for barbers where they could really make their own hours as long as they're staying consistent. I give them their booth. If they want to add lighting, add lighting. If they want to put up art, put up art. It's yours,' Kiske said. Kiske says he's not only looking for seasoned barbers, but he's willing to use his eight years of experience as a mentor. 'I have five spots open. I would love to have some cool barbers here that kind of see the vision that I'm going for, kind of giving a big city feel to the small town,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Group protests Congressman Rulli's stance on issues and bill
AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Protesters gathered at a Valley grocery store Wednesday, demonstrating about Congressman Michael Rulli's votes on some issues and President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. It was one of many protests being held by constituents outside Rulli Brothers grocery stores. This time, the protest is in Austintown. About 40 people have been outside the store since about 3 p.m. They're calling for Congressman Rulli to hold a town hall meeting with constituents while he is in town, and are also concerned with his stance on some issues. Among their concerns are cuts being made in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, especially to Medicare and Medicaid. This protest comes on the same day that Congressman Rulli introduced the Gambler Act in Congress to address the border crisis, which seeks to allocate money from the US Treasury towards ICE operations. The money will specifically come from gambling tax revenue The act would receive a $300 million fund each year from the treasury. Rulli says the act will strengthen immigration enforcement without raising taxes on citizens. Rulli Brothers issued a statement about the protests: For 108 years Rulli Bros has proudly served the Mahoning Valley as a retailer of groceries and Italian specialties. During that history we have contributed to the local community and economy by providing customers with goods at competitive prices, creating countless jobs, procuring goods from local vendors, and generating local tax revenues that directly benefit the community. We greatly appreciate all our customers, vendors, and employees who represent the political diversity of the Valley. All are welcome at Rulli Bros., left, right, and center as we continue to serve the Valley to the best of our ability. Rulli Bros. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ground broken for new home in Campbell as part of development project
CAMPBELL, Ohio (WKBN) – It's a first in the City of Campbell, aimed at meeting an urgent need. There was a ceremonial groundbreaking Wednesday morning for a brand new home on Whipple Avenue. 'When we have a shortage of housing, and especially that doesn't break people's bank accounts,' said Deb Flora, with the Mahoning County Land Bank. It marks the first time the Mahoning County Land Bank, Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and City of Campbell have worked together on a housing project. Money for this development is coming from a new project from the state known as 'Welcome Home Ohio,' which was created to help working class, middle-income families buy affordable housing. 'At a time where housing construction is very expensive, the Welcome Home Ohio dollars are making it affordable for us, as the developer, to get it done and then there's also a requirement from the state that we can't sell this house for more than $180,000,' Flora said. She says they have to sell the home to a household that is at or below 80% of the average median income. Mahoning County has already received more than $7 million from this program, which will pay for 31 projects around the county. It's the second groundbreaking this month, following one in Struthers last week, with half a dozen more in Youngstown. In this particular case, the land bank purchased this property in 2017 and tore the existing house down. 'I mean, it's going full cycle from being a blighted property that creates negative energy and is kind of a contagion on the block, removing it, the interim use was a green vacant lot,' said Ian Benniston, with YNDC. Now Mayor George Levendis hopes this, along with a revitalization effort of businesses on nearby 12th Street, could help attract new residents to the city. 'This is a first step and, hopefully, there's going to be many more of these kind of houses,' he said. Organizers hope lawmakers will continue funding the Welcome Home Ohio program in the next state budget. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
