Kelsea has been with us full-time for the last 3 years. She has always been caring and professional, firm but kind, helpful and instructive. Our boys have been incredibly lucky to have her guidance and love over the time she's been with us - we can definitely see some of her positive influence in them. Kelsea was always responsible and reliable, and I am sure that she will excel in any family. As a working parent, it's never an easy decision to leave your children in the care of someone else. Kelsea made this choice an easy one for us. She looked out for the best interests of our children, she kept their safety and health in mind, and she got them to eat vegetables I never dreamed they would eat :-) Our children have loved every minute with her. I could not recommend her highly enough!

Greta F., Child Care in Dayton, KY 41074 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Greta and I in my third year of school at University of Cincinnati, majoring in neuroscience with the tentative goal to become a pediatric doctor. Outside of school I like to paint, draw, and sculpt, and I run a very small business selling clay pieces (it's very new and definitely still experimental, but fun!). I babysat for nine years back home in Cleveland and I have been lucky enough to babysit/nanny for some other wonderful families here in Cincinnati over the past two and a half years as well! Between the 30+ families I have worked with, I have experience with all ages from 5 week olds through 14 year olds. I have worked as a summer nanny for six years now, and I have continued to babysit on weekdays and weekends whenever I can! I am CPR certified and actually taught first aid for three years back home in Cleveland, and I stay up-to-date on all the safety recommendations and procedures. I love to cook/bake and I love to turn it into a kid-friendly activity, I tutored throughout high school so I'm happy to help with homework, and I grew up playing sports and spending most of my time outdoors so I'm very comfortable on that front as well! I have a reliable car and am willing to commute and transport children whenever necessary. Through the years I have worked for families with dogs, cats, lizards, Guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, snakes, hermit crabs, turtles, birds, and fish. I have two cats back home in Cleveland and one little kitten who lives with me here in Cincinnati :) I grew up going to a Montessori school, so my mindset when working with children is to facilitate learning and independence in every possible situation. Communication is key both between parents and caregivers in a professional sense, and between caregivers and children in the sense that we are all able to express feelings, needs, and reasoning through words. I also grew up in a no-screens during the week household so I know how to come up with creative activities to entertain kids outside of a tv or tablet! I do enjoy the occasional movie night or video game sesh too :) My favorite part about working with children is watching them make connections. I have found that being with children gives me a new perspective on seemingly mundane aspects of life, and I thoroughly enjoy watching and helping them learn and grow. Please reach out if my profile feels right for your family :)

Greta is absolutely sensational. This remarkably mature, professional, bright, and driven young woman is a treasure, and I'm so thankful she came into our lives. Greta was our nanny over the course of this summer and came every day, always punctual and prepared with a whole host of activities. Her energy and creativity is amazing and our 3 girls adore her. You and your family would be lucky to book her, so reach out without hesitation. I look forward to seeing and working with her more whenever possible.

Summer L., Child Care in Dayton, KY 41074 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Summer, and I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati with an Associate of Science in Elementary Education. I will be returning to school at Northern Kentucky University to continue working toward my bachelor’s degree with the goal of becoming an elementary school teacher. Over the years, I have babysat and nannied for many families with children ranging from newborns to 13 years old. I have experience working a variety of schedules and am flexible and open to adapting to schedules I may not have worked before. I am currently living and working on Mackinac Island through the end of October, so I will not be available for full-time work until November 1st. Once I return, I am hoping to find a position with a family looking for dependable and flexible childcare support. When classes begin again in the spring, I will still have the ability to adjust my schedule to fit my work commitments. In addition to babysitting and nannying, I also have classroom experience through working as a CADET teacher, student observer, and student aide in a variety of academic settings. These experiences have helped me become familiar with the scholastic, emotional, mental, and developmental needs of the age groups I work with. If you are looking for help in or outside of your home, I would love to chat more! I also have references readily available upon request ❤️

Elisa P., Child Care in Dayton, KY 41074 with 0 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where they can feel comfortable and be themselves. I find it rewarding to support children as they learn, grow, and build confidence. Working with children also connects closely with my long-term goals. I am 19 years old and currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in psychology while on a Pre-PA (Physician Assistant) track through UC and Cincinnati State, with plans to work in pediatrics at a children's hospital in the future. I currently work in the Emergency Department (ED) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, one of the nation’s leading and most highly respected pediatric hospitals and have direct patient care experience that has strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, responsibility, and ability to remain calm under pressure. Working in the ED at Cincinnati Children’s has also taught me the importance of patience, as every child and family is experiencing different emotions and situations that require understanding, compassion, and individualized care. This experience has helped me build strong relationships with children and families while creating a supportive and comforting environment during stressful moments. Spending time caring for my younger cousins has also shown me how much I enjoy being around kids and helping create a supportive environment for them. I am also actively working toward obtaining CPR and First Aid certification to continue strengthening my skills and preparedness when caring for children. Overall, I am excited to continue gaining experience working with children and to provide families with dependable, compassionate, and attentive care they can trust.
