Emma Covington
$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!

Anna-Faith Cincinnati
$16 per hour for 1 child

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

Sophia Cincinnati
$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fort Thomas, 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.
