$13 per hour for 1 child

Hi im Destiny I grew up looking after my younger siblings and also my younger cousins. I was always the person in the family that everyone would call when they needed a babysitter. I have watched kids age ranging from 4 months to 10 years old. I also have 3 dogs all different breeds and love animals so I could pet sit also.

Emma Covington
$18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Emma :) I am 20 years old and currently living in Covington, Kentucky, where I am enrolled in the nursing program at the University of Cincinnati. I am training to be a NICU/pediatric trauma nurse. Before I moved here for college, I lived in a small town in Ohio and loved babysitting for nearby families a couple of times a week, and especially on the weekend. I have been babysitting ages 1-12 since I was 16 years old. I am available most days except Thursdays from 11 am-3 pm due to classes. I have also gone through a child CPR class and 3 babysitting courses through the American Red Cross. I am also able to make meals, clean the house, and feed pets as well. Please let me know if you have any questions!
