Anna-Faith $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Anna-Faith, I am a recent graduate from the University of Kentucky, and I just moved to Cincinnati from Lexington, KY. Over 6 years ago, I began my professional childcare journey in high school when I became a nanny to 4 girls, ranging from ages 3 to 11. This really kickstarted my love for working with kids, and I went on to nanny for 3 other families after this, babysitting for many others in between. My most recent work was at the Tates Creek Community Center in Lexington, KY, where I was able to meet and form deep connections with the people and kids that came to the center. I taught many kids how to crochet, how to cook, and organized fun activities and events. Through these experiences, I gained crucial experience working with infants, children with physical disabilities, mental and cognitive disabilities, behavioral issues, and ADHD. In my years of experience, I have worked with many different families with a diverse range of backgrounds, belief systems, and lifestyles. This has given me an extensive set of skills to adapt to different situations, and meet your child(ren) where they are now. I also understand that many things come along with taking care of children, such as meal prep, laundry, cleaning, homework, etc. and I would be happy to discuss in detail how I might help you and your family make life a little easier. When I am not working with kids, I really enjoy walking and hiking, playing pickleball, making and trying new foods, traveling, and spending time with my husband and our dog, Maisy. My favorite show is Gilmore girls, and my favorite food is probably chicken wings, but it’s really too hard to decide (I’m a big foodie and LOVE to cook and bake with the kids). I look forward to meeting you soon! Anna-Faith
