Sierra $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!! :)

I’ve loved working with children since high school, when I was a student aide in a pre-K classroom. I’m patient, dependable, and safety-focused, and my studies in occupational therapy give me a strong understanding of child development. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping and creating a fun, supportive environment for your family.
