Booked by 4 families in Cincinnati, OH

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter with over 14 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids—whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or keeping them engaged in fun and safe activities. I'm also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and bedtime routines. I strive to create a warm, positive environment and treat every child with kindness and respect. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones like they’re my own!

“Jamye was thoughtful, flexible and kind. Thank you!!”

Tatiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Tati, and I've been a stay-at-home mom and homeschool teacher for the past 12 years -- and I've been caring for kids for most of my life. My son started school last year, so I've started doing part-time work babysitting for infants. I was just re-certified in First Aid, CPR, and the Basic Babysitting and Advanced Childcare Training Courses through the American Red Cross. I'm most comfortable caring for infants and toddlers and would prefer to stay within that age group. I don't believe in exposing kids to screens and too much technology too early in life, and instead like to spend time bonding with them. Some things I like to do while babysitting are taking walks, reading, listening to music, singing, dancing, tummy-time, and playing with toys. :)
