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!

Summer L., Child Care in Independence, KY 41051 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Summer, and I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati with an Associate of Science : Elementary Education. For my senior year I will be returning to school at Northern Kentucky University to finish 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 experienced 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 then . 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 paraprofessional, assistant 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 ❤️

Keiaira C., Child Care in Independence, KY 41051 with 14 years of paid experience

Hello! I am a 31 year old teacher currently living in Cincinnati, OH. In high school I took ECE 1 & ECE 2 . During that time I had two internships that each last for a year. One at a Montessori school, and one at a preschool. I was able to work with different ages of children learning their individual developments for their age groups. I also was able to get hands on experience in the special needs classroom, and was even able to be apart of the special Olympia’s which was such an honor. After graduation I decided to go to school and also get more experience working at a preschool between the infant- 4 year old room for about a year. After, I started working at an academy k-12 school where I got to experience different ages on another scale. I'm reliable, dedicated, and I absolutely love what I do. It comes naturally to me. I love knowing that I'm the one who can turn their day around with the things that I teach and instill within them. I currently teach at a learning center but my availability and willingness to do something more personal and help others is very open. CPR & First aid verified; COVID Vaccinated.

We had an excellent experience with Donshae. She was reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to my toddler's needs. Knowing my child was in such capable hands allowed me to work with peace of mind. She was punctual, communicated clearly, and treated our family with kindness and respect.

Tuesday T., Child Care in Independence, KY 41051 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi there, I'm a proud mother of 5 children, ages 16-28. Professionally, I've cared for 2 addition children ages 5-10 for 2 years. Since my kids are older now (with no grandchildren in sight), I want to fill my life up again with children. I am dependable, patient, compassionate, loving and understanding. In my eyes, children are the most, beautiful humans on the planet. They bring the greatest joy to the world and being a full-time Nanny will be very fullfilling . I will respect your lifestyle and discipline philosophy and as your nanny, your children will receive my undivided attention. I am confident that with my years of experience, I can be a great fit for your family. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Tuesday

I love being a sitter because I love working with kids and giving them an environment that is fun and also safe. I have 3 younger siblings myself so I’ve learned a lot from them. I’ve also consistently babysat for 2 families with young children over the course of 3 years. I’ve found babysitting to come natural for me as I am patient, responsible, and prioritize making sure the kids are engaged and getting my full attention so they feel comfortable and supported.
