$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Jayonna. I am 21 years old. I am a Sophomore in College at Mount St. Joseph University. I am majoring in Social Work. I've been watching my younger siblings since they were born and I started babysitting for kids in my neighborhood. I have also helped out my god mom in her daycare. As well as working in a couple of Daycares. I love kids of all ages. I enjoy seeing them hit their milestones and overall watching them grow. I love to go out and do activities with them. If it’s nice outside, I like to take the kids out. However, if not we can come up with things to do inside. I love doing arts and craft. In my free time, I love hanging out with my family and friends, bowling , cooking and skating just to name a few.

India Cincinnati
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m India! I’m currently a 27 year old social worker and work full-time as a therapist. My experience includes babysitting since the age of 13, nannying for various age groups, and growing up with two younger brothers. I bring a high level of empathy, patience, and understanding to my babysitting. I am known for my nurturing nature, reliability, and strong communication skills. I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment where children feel comfortable and valued. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, or simply being a supportive listener, I strive to meet each child’s individual needs. I also have experience working with children and teens who have ADHD and anxiety. If you are interested but I do not have availability listed, please feel free to still reach out as I am sometimes able to be more flexible. I look forward to working with you and your children!
