Sara $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! I’m Sara and I’ve been a babysitter for more than 10 years. I love working with kids and have done so quite a bit in various settings, including as a teacher for after-school programs and as a camp counselor in summer gardening and swim camps. I’m also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 soon-to-be nephew and I’m pretty sure I’ve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN (shhh don’t tell my siblings). Some of my hobbies include baking, cooking, gardening, hiking (or being outside in general), swimming, and painting. Lastly about me, I speak Spanish and some Arabic and have a pet Cockatiel named Paco :) If you’re looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, I’d love to get in touch with you!

Paul $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Paul and I’m currently a sophomore at Miami University. I offer babysitting, pet care, and house care services. I've always enjoyed spending time with children, whether it's with cousins or other family members—and I'm great at making sure they’re entertained and safe! I'm happy to help with all kinds of activities, including games, reading, and bedtime routines. I also love animals and can provide care for any of your furry friends, including feeding, walks, and playtime. If you need help around the house—cleaning, organizing, or running errands—I’d be happy to assist. I’ll be heading back to school at the end of the summer, but I’m available to help whenever I can before then. Feel free to reach out if you think I’d be a good fit for your family!
