Rhonda Campbell
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Rhonda! If you’re looking for someone who truly loves being around kids—you’ve found her 😊 I’m a trusted, experienced caregiver with a fingerprint clearance and a clean driving record. I’m also the owner of Sensory Celebrations, a local kids entertainment company that creates themed activity tables for birthdays, school events, and community festivals. There’s a good chance your little ones may have already played at my tables at Campbell Park, Oktoberfest, Halloween events, or the Bunnies & Bonnets Parade event! I bring that same playful, engaging energy into every babysitting experience. I don’t just “watch” kids—I connect with them, play with them, and create fun, hands-on moments that keep them happy and engaged (and give parents peace of mind). I’m also a proud grandma to three AMAZING grandchildren (two borns in 2025 and one in 2023), and I care for them often. Being part of their lives is one of my greatest joys. In addition, I serve in the nursery and toddler classrooms at my church, so I’m very comfortable with infants, toddlers, and young children of all personalities. What you can expect when I’m with your children: • Warm, attentive, and patient care • Engaging play (not screens unless you prefer it) • Safe, reliable, and responsible supervision • A natural ability to connect with kids of all ages Whether you need a few hours to run errands, a date night, or overnight care, I would love to support your family. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! 💛 — Rhonda
