I have over 6 years of experience caring for children and have worked with more than 50 kids of different ages. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in supervising, engaging children in fun and educational activities, preparing simple meals, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable working with pets . I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy building connections with kids and supporting families by helping with household tasks when needed. 😊👶
Hi! My name is Emma, and I am currently a sophomore pre-occupational therapy student at UC. I offer childcare and household services. I’ve loved working with children since high school, when I was a student aide in a pre-K classroom. I’m patient, dependable, and safety-focused, and my studies in occupational therapy give me a strong understanding of child development. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping and creating a fun, supportive environment for your family.
I’m a freshman in college at the University of Cincinnati studying elementary education but am from Indianapolis, Indiana. I’ve been babysitting for years throughout middle and high school. I’m the oldest of me and my two sisters, and have babysat my sister and little cousins many times. I can play with the kids, clean, cook for them, and more! I always enjoy being around kids and have worked at the daycare Southport Pres since Nov 2023!
Hi! My name is Anna-Faith, I am a recent graduate from the University of Kentucky, and I just moved to Cincinnati from Lexington, KY. Over 6 years ago, I began my professional childcare journey in high school when I became a nanny to 4 girls, ranging from ages 3 to 11. This really kickstarted my love for working with kids, and I went on to nanny for 3 other families after this, babysitting for many others in between. My most recent work was at the Tates Creek Community Center in Lexington, KY, where I was able to meet and form deep connections with the people and kids that came to the center. I taught many kids how to crochet, how to cook, and organized fun activities and events. Through these experiences, I gained crucial experience working with infants, children with physical disabilities, mental and cognitive disabilities, behavioral issues, and ADHD. In my years of experience, I have worked with many different families with a diverse range of backgrounds, belief systems, and lifestyles. This has given me an extensive set of skills to adapt to different situations, and meet your child(ren) where they are now. I also understand that many things come along with taking care of children, such as meal prep, laundry, cleaning, homework, etc. and I would be happy to discuss in detail how I might help you and your family make life a little easier. When I am not working with kids, I really enjoy walking and hiking, playing pickleball, making and trying new foods, traveling, and spending time with my husband and our dog, Maisy. My favorite show is Gilmore girls, and my favorite food is probably chicken wings, but it’s really too hard to decide (I’m a big foodie and LOVE to cook and bake with the kids). I look forward to meeting you soon! Anna-Faith

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
