A little bit about me

Greetings!, My name is Decariea, I’m 17 years old and an incoming student at the University of Cincinnati studying Social Work and Criminal Justice. I’m currently offering babysitting and I’m more than happy to travel around the Lexington area to make things as easy and comfortable as possible for your family.

As the oldest of 6 kids, caring for children has always been a big part of my everyday life. I’ve grown up helping out and being someone my siblings can rely on, which has made me very patient, understanding, and attentive. I truly love being around kids and creating a safe, happy, and fun environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.

I have experience with children of all ages and am happy to help with things like meals, playtime, homework, bedtime routines, or anything else your family may need. I always do my best to make sure both parents and kids feel at ease and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified
