Hi everyone! My name is Zoe Campbell and I’m currently looking to take on some babysitting opportunities for families in the area 😊 I’m a current first year Doctorate of PT student hoping to specialize in pediatrics, and just graduated with a Bachelors of Health Science from UC.

I have extensive experience working with children, with 2yrs experience working as a Seasonal Camp Counselor, working with kids from ages 2 mths - 13 yrs. In this position, I had responsibility of up to 18 kids myself each day, conducting and assisting activities and field trips. I also have 2 yrs experience working as a Water Safety Instructor, teaching kids how to swim based on curriculum. Additionally, I have volunteer experience at Cincinnati Children’s and tutoring in the CPS. I am CPR certified!

I’m available for date nights, etc starting around 5 PM on weekdays (and earlier on Fridays), along with weekends as needed. I also have reliable transportation and can provide references if needed!

Hello, I’m Maya!! I’m a second year at University of Cincinnati- Blue Ash Campus studying Environmental Science. I’m the youngest of three and would help my sister growing up babysit, and later in high school would help my friends too. While I do not have paid solo experience, I love spending time and helping kiddos grow. I work at Starbucks currently and am looking for flexible hours and some extra cash to cover my expenses. It’d be great to work with a welcoming family and I appreciate your time reading this!!

A little bit about me

I’m a mom of three with just about 10 years of experience in the childcare field and an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I’ve worked with children of all ages and enjoy supporting their growth in a safe, structured, and nurturing environment.

I’m very involved in my children’s schools, volunteering and chaperoning when given the opportunity. I’m also a sports mom for dance, and soccer; including team mom for cheer, football, and track. I’m comfortable juggling busy schedules while keeping kids engaged and supported.

I have one child who is not currently in school, as they were not age-eligible at the time. I’m open to opportunities where I could bring my child along, as I believe it can create a positive, family-style environment and offer healthy social interaction, all while maintaining focused, attentive care for the children in my care.

Caring for children isn’t just a job, it’s who I am. I’m grateful and take pride in the children I support and nurture.
