Ellie $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie, and I’m 18 years old and a senior in high school, planning to study business next year. I’ve been babysitting for over 3 years with experience caring for kids from 10 months old to 13 years old. I’m bubbly, fun, and love creating a positive, engaging environment for kids. I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am always happy to help around the house. I love joining kids in what they’re interested in—whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, sports, or homework. I’m comfortable taking kids to activities or outings and have experience with overnight (“sleepover”) babysitting. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids!

Michel $12 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Michel, but everyone calls me Kells. For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Co-Junior Church Leader, where I’ve worked closely with children of all ages. This role has helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills while teaching me the importance of patience, encouragement, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids to learn and grow. Working with children on a regular basis has given me valuable experience handling different personalities, resolving conflicts calmly, and being someone they can trust and look up to. In addition to my church experience, I’ve also spent many years helping care for my disabled grandmother. Being one of her caregivers has taught me responsibility, compassion, reliability, and the importance of putting others’ needs first. It has required patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to help with daily tasks while ensuring she was cared for with dignity and respect. These experiences have shaped me into a dependable, caring, and hardworking person. I enjoy helping others, work well with people of all ages, and always strive to bring a positive attitude wherever I go. Whether I’m working with children, supporting those who need extra care, or contributing as part of a team, I take pride in being someone others can rely on.

Mariah $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! We’re Mariah and Austin, a married couple who are excited to spend more time caring for kids together and helping families in our community. We’re both warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing, and we really enjoy creating an environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. Mariah is a professional graphic designer and naturally brings a lot of creativity to the table—whether that means arts and crafts, drawing, imaginative play, or coming up with a fun activity on the fly. She’s nurturing, attentive, and loves encouraging kids’ creativity and interests. Austin is dependable, calm, playful, and incredibly patient. He’s great at making people feel comfortable and brings a fun, steady energy that balances Mariah’s creative side really well. Together, we make a great team: we’re attentive and responsible while still being silly, engaging, and willing to get down on the floor and actually play! We understand that trusting someone with your children is a big deal, so communication, safety, and respecting each family’s routines and boundaries are extremely important to us. We’re happy to help with playtime, meals and snacks, homework, bedtime routines, activities, and keeping things tidy along the way. We’re also animal lovers and very comfortable in homes with pets—we have two rescue dogs of our own! Most of all, we hope to be the kind of caregivers kids are genuinely excited to see and parents can feel completely comfortable having in their home. We’re looking forward to meeting some wonderful families!

Booked by 2 families in Monroe, OH

Hi there! I recently moved from Tampa, FL to Cincinnati OH as I have my master's degree in social work (MSW). I have 7+ years of experience in nannying and babysitting. I babysit and provide pet care for a variety of families, I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a car, I can cook, clean, and take the child/children anywhere they may need to go. I have no issues with babysitting multiple children. Additionally, I am willing to work with any family if they need low-cost care. I'm available nights, weekends, and am available to accompany your family while traveling. Thank you! :) Things parents/caregivers need to know: -I have no criminal record. -I have not experienced any car accidents, and I'm a cautious driver. -I will not hesitate to provide proof of the COVID-19 vaccine to those who request it.

“Haley did a wonderful job sitting for our two-year-old daughter and putting her through her bedtime routine. Would highly recommend!”
