"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

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!

I’m patient, reliable, and very attentive to children’s needs. I love engaging kids in activities like reading, playing games, helping with homework, and keeping a consistent routine.
Racquel $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Racquel. I am offering child care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I work full time as a Family Support Specialist, educating parents and caregivers about child development, safety, and parenting skills, and connecting them with resources. When I am not working, you can find me at a local Cincy park! I love listening to music, reading on my kindle, and being out in nature. ❤️
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!! :)
