I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am always happy to help around the house. I love joining kids in what they’re interested in—whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, sports, or homework. I’m comfortable taking kids to activities or outings and have experience with overnight (“sleepover”) babysitting. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids!

Elizabeth $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a 24-year-old dependable, compassionate, and energetic caregiver with over 12 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old and have had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to older children. I also have experience caring for a child with autism, which has strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I genuinely love working with children and strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy engaging kids through creative play, outdoor activities, reading, arts and crafts, educational games, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families through kindness, consistency, and open communication. In addition to childcare, I have three years of experience dog sitting for my sister, ensuring her pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while she was away. I also have experience house sitting for a three-week period, where I responsibly maintained the home, cared for the property, and handled daily tasks. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help care for them as part of your family’s routine. I’m highly organized, responsible, and dependable. I can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, maintaining daily routines, diaper changes, potty training support, bedtime routines, homework help, and transportation when needed. I have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, making it easy to assist with school drop-offs and pick-ups, appointments, extracurricular activities, or outings. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, nurturing, and dependable. I treat every child with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own family. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in a safe, caring, and supportive environment.

Booked by 2 families in Gratis, OH

Hi there! I recently moved from Tampa, FL to Cincinnati OH as I have my master's degree in social work (MSW). I have 7+ years of experience in nannying and babysitting. I babysit and provide pet care for a variety of families, I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a car, I can cook, clean, and take the child/children anywhere they may need to go. I have no issues with babysitting multiple children. Additionally, I am willing to work with any family if they need low-cost care. I'm available nights, weekends, and am available to accompany your family while traveling. Thank you! :) Things parents/caregivers need to know: -I have no criminal record. -I have not experienced any car accidents, and I'm a cautious driver. -I will not hesitate to provide proof of the COVID-19 vaccine to those who request it.

Haley did a wonderful job sitting for our two-year-old daughter and putting her through her bedtime routine. Would highly recommend!
