Booked by 1 family in Dayton, KY

Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a senior at UC. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a PCA at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in the step-down for the cardiac intensive care unit. I am BLS/CPR certified. I have three years of experience at my job, especially with infants and toddlers. I have nine years of babysitting experience prior to my job- but am often involved in one-on-one patient care and responsible for “babysitting” an infant or toddler who needs extra medical attention or comfort for the duration of my shift. I have two dogs and a cat- and have cared for a plethora of other pets before! I can drive, run errands, clean, and cook/bake. I have payment rates for varying scenarios on my profile but am flexible surrounding my pay.

Sierra Norwood
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hello all, I am Sierra! I am a junior college student at Xavier University in Cincinnati. I have some babysitting experience (about 7 years) because I was raised as a military brat and would frequently watch my younger brother, my parents' friends, and various other kids. My mom also used to foster kids. Not only that, but I am in a STEM major, so I can definitely help out with the homework as well. Lastly, I have a very outgoing personality and will be great to have!! :)
