Hi! My name is Mia, I’ve been caring for and watching my two siblings and pets for a while and am looking to expand my horizons, I love spending time with little ones! While I may be new to babysitting, I have a natural love for children and enjoy helping them learn, play, and grow. I have experience caring for younger family members and am comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and engaging activities like storytime and sensory play. I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy and patient caregiver, and I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your child. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and needs to ensure your little one is happy and well cared for. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a great fit for your family—please feel free to reach out for more details on my schedule! - CPR and First Aid (child and baby) certified through the red cross, and familiar with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

I have been babysitting for close to 12 years now, and have cared for pets close to 15 years. I took care of my grandparents so I do have experience taking care of seniors. Any service needed, I’m willing to do it
Hi! My name is Beth, and I am dedicated to providing top-quality care for children of all ages. I take caregiving very seriously and strive to create a positive, engaging environment.

I’m a mother of 3 (3,5,7) and an occupational therapy assistant (16 years) and certified personal trainer (3 years). I specialize in working with the older adult population and have been in the medical field in some capacity for over 20 years. I’m very friendly and easy to get along with. One of my strong points is putting people at ease. I’m also a dog owner and dog lover. Dogs love me too! I love helping others, it’s my calling in life, and I would love to help you with whatever your needs may be.
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!
