Emma $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!

Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Olivia and I am a Junior at the University of Cincinnati majoring in elementary education. I’m offering child and pet care as well as house-hold duties. I have been babysitting for a number of families for a little over 6 years now and have been certified with CPR and first aid training. I have also been a camp counselor for multiple camps throughout the years. I’ve been a nanny throughout the summer for a 6month old and a 9 yr old. Now that I am back in college I would love to meet a family in Cincinnati that I can become a part of:) I have always loved kids and being able to help them with whatever it is for that family. My responsibilities have been cleaning, crafts, tutoring, diaper changes, meal prep, dance/gymnastics lessons and I am more than happy to run errands! I’m experienced with children from 4 months to 11 years old:) I want to create a fun, comfortable, and creative environment for the kids and love providing engaging activities for us to do. My main goal is to create a fun, healthy relationship with the kids!

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Anna, and I’m a senior at the University of Cincinnati studying Marketing with a minor in Sports Administration. I’ve been babysitting and nannying for over 8 years and have experience caring for children from infants to teenagers. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and genuinely love spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, baking, swimming, helping with homework, or just having a fun movie night, I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust.

Sophia $16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Burlington, KY

Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a senior at UC. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a PCA at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in the step-down for the cardiac intensive care unit. I am BLS/CPR certified. I have three years of experience at my job, especially with infants and toddlers. I have nine years of babysitting experience prior to my job- but am often involved in one-on-one patient care and responsible for “babysitting” an infant or toddler who needs extra medical attention or comfort for the duration of my shift. I have two dogs and a cat- and have cared for a plethora of other pets before! I can drive, run errands, clean, and cook/bake. I have payment rates for varying scenarios on my profile but am flexible surrounding my pay.
