Booked by 1 family in Dayton, 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.

Riley Cincinnati
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Riley and I’m an engineering student at the University of Cincinnati. I am currently a dance teacher and am CPR/ first aid certified through the Red Cross. Through my dance teaching job (ages 2.5-12) I regularly receive training on behavior management and childhood development. A little about myself, I grew up dancing as a ballerina and I also danced competitively. I have been assisting dance classes of all ages for over a decade and love to help kids learn! My favorite part is that got it moment when an idea or concept finally clicks and the joy from the child is so contagious! I have experience babysitting throughout high school for family and friends for babies, toddlers, and school age children. I am good with math and science and can help with homework in any subject for school age children! I have experience caring for cats and a little experience caring for dogs, but I am comfortable around all pets! I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope to meet you soon!

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!! :)
