$19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Cincinnati, OH

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter with over 14 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids—whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or keeping them engaged in fun and safe activities. I'm also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and bedtime routines. I strive to create a warm, positive environment and treat every child with kindness and respect. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones like they’re my own!

Jamye was thoughtful, flexible and kind. Thank you!!
