Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi- My name is Olivia and I am a Junior at the University of Cincinnati majoring in elementary education. I’m offering child and pet care as well as house-hold duties. I have been babysitting for a number of families for a little over 6 years now and have been certified with CPR and first aid training. I have also been a camp counselor for multiple camps throughout the years. I’ve been a nanny throughout the summer for a 6month old and a 9 yr old. Now that I am back in college I would love to meet a family in Cincinnati that I can become a part of:) I have always loved kids and being able to help them with whatever it is for that family. My responsibilities have been cleaning, crafts, tutoring, diaper changes, meal prep, dance/gymnastics lessons and I am more than happy to run errands! I’m experienced with children from 4 months to 11 years old:) I want to create a fun, comfortable, and creative environment for the kids and love providing engaging activities for us to do. My main goal is to create a fun, healthy relationship with the kids!
Anna $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Anna, and I’m a senior at the University of Cincinnati studying Marketing with a minor in Sports Administration. I’ve been babysitting and nannying for over 8 years and have experience caring for children from infants to teenagers. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and genuinely love spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, baking, swimming, helping with homework, or just having a fun movie night, I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, meal prep, pets, and keeping the house tidy. I look forward to meeting your family!
