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!! :)

Michel Trenton
$12 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Michel, but everyone calls me Kells. For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Co-Junior Church Leader, where I’ve worked closely with children of all ages. This role has helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills while teaching me the importance of patience, encouragement, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids to learn and grow. Working with children on a regular basis has given me valuable experience handling different personalities, resolving conflicts calmly, and being someone they can trust and look up to. In addition to my church experience, I’ve also spent many years helping care for my disabled grandmother. Being one of her caregivers has taught me responsibility, compassion, reliability, and the importance of putting others’ needs first. It has required patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to help with daily tasks while ensuring she was cared for with dignity and respect. These experiences have shaped me into a dependable, caring, and hardworking person. I enjoy helping others, work well with people of all ages, and always strive to bring a positive attitude wherever I go. Whether I’m working with children, supporting those who need extra care, or contributing as part of a team, I take pride in being someone others can rely on.

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!

Arizona Cincinnati
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! With a bit of extra time on my hands, I’m excited to find new rewarding ways to help out in my community—whether it’s caring for little ones, seniors, or the family pet. As a mom of three, grandmother of three, and a former K-3 teacher (B.S. Ed from Miami University), I bring a wealth of experience and a calm, organized energy to every home. Beyond my background as a YMCA camp director, I am a graduate of the Paws-Ability dog training program and am comfortable caring for everything from high-energy dogs like my Australian Shepherd, Piper, to smaller friends like turtles and birds. I find working with children, the elderly, and pets to be very rewarding. Part of my volunteer experience includes spending time with Veterans in assisted living or memory care. I love hearing stories they share about their life and watching their face light up as they relive the memory. I have learned so much from the wealth of knowledge elderly have. Watching children master tasks they are given because of your guidance is so satisfying. Just being around the pure, genuine, honest, curious, carefree and unfiltered perspective on the world that children have is so refreshing. It motivates me to provide them with the best possible environment to keep that curiosity alive. The unconditional bond that develops as you work with animals is so pure and incredibly rewarding. Animals don’t have hidden agendas, they love you unconditionally. They are loyal and are always so happy to see you. My current work in accessibility has given me a deep appreciation for clear communication and attentive care. I treat every loved one with the same respect and joy I give my own family, and I look forward to helping yours!"
