Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Western Kentucky University! I’m CPR certified and have experience caring for and working with children of various ages, including several years of experience working with children who have disabilities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves! I love planning engaging activities, encouraging creativity, and building meaningful relationships with the children and families I work with. I’m also a huge dog lover and am very comfortable in homes with pets! I’m currently looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities in the Bowling Green area that fit around my graduate school schedule. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Hey! My name is Kathryn and I’m a 21 year old Junior at Western Kentucky University. I’m majoring in public health right now and learning lots. I have experience babysitting from when I was 14 up until now. I babysat a special needs child for a few years in the summer as well as being a group leader at my church’s vacation bible school for the past 5 years. On top of this I got to babysit two twin toddlers every weekend for about a year. I have job experience such as being a clinical cardiovascular technician at the hospitals heart center along with first aid, CPR, and basic life saving certifications. I love babysitting children and watching them grow as individuals with their own unique characteristics. I do not mind being around animals as I have two big fur babies of my own!

I'm a Registered Respiratory Therapist and mom of one little boy (currently expecting my second)! I have over 5 years of professional experience working with infants and children in NICU and Pediatric settings and I'm especially comfortable caring for newborns and young infants. I'm certified in BLS, ACLS (adv. cardiac life support), PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) and NRP (Neonatal Rescusitation Program). I have also earned my Neonatal Pediatric Specialty credential. My healthcare background allows me to stay calm, and has taught me to be attentive, organized and confident while caring for little ones, while my experience as a mother allows me to be nurturing as well. I am looking to provide occasional/date night childcare and overnight newborn relief for families who could use a trusted extra set of hands. I truly enjoy helping new parents feel comfortable taking a break or getting some rest while knowing their baby is being cared for attentively. I'm dependable, nurturing, and happy to follow your normal, preferred routine, feeding schedule, sleep preferences and household expectations. Look forwards to chatting soon!

Hello, I'm Elizabeth! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky, and I’ve grown up caring for kids of all ages. I started by helping take care of my younger brother at a young age, and over the years I’ve babysat toddlers, infants, and young children for relatives and family friends. I also worked in the daycare at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Bowling Green, where I cared for large groups of children ranging from toddlers to young youth. In addition, I served as a youth leader at both my church and the Karenni Cultural Preservation Center, working closely with teens and young adults. These experiences have made me confident, adaptable, and very comfortable managing different age groups and personalities. I consider myself responsible, patient, and genuinely nurturing. I’m organized and attentive, especially when it comes to helping kids clean up, stay on routine, and complete homework or chores. I love keeping children engaged by teaching fun games, talking about books, and doing creative activities like sketching, painting, and other crafts. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, whether that’s playing soccer, going for walks, or exploring nature, so I enjoy getting kids moving in safe, fun ways. Energetic, creative, and calm under pressure, I always strive to create a safe, positive, and exciting environment where kids feel supported and happy.
