About Taryn

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! My name is Taryn and I am a 19-year-old (almost 20!) college sophomore at UC, here for my summer semester between co-op rotations. I am looking for weekend and morning babysitting opportunities. I started working with kids when I was about 13 doing some smaller babysitting jobs. Eventually in 2020 I started doing some paid work as a camp counselor and became a part time taekwondo instructor for kids ages 3-15. In the summer of 2023 I nannied full time for two kids (ages 3 and 5). In my spare time, I like to read, watch movies and create art! I also love music and animals :) As stated previously, I am currently a student at the University of Cincinnati, studying architecture. One thing you should know about me is I am also a 4th degree black belt in taekwondo and have had experience teaching kids discipline, respect and other life skills in a safe, fun environment! As a babysitter or nanny I like to translate lots of those skills and enjoy being around kids!

Taryn is hands-down the best babysitter ever! She's got this awesome way of connecting with the kiddos, and always keeps them entertained with cool activities that are actually educational, too. Not only that, but she's super dedicated to keeping the place clean and organized, which just shows how much she loves her job. Plus, she's always on top of communication, so you never have to worry about a thing. Seriously, if you're on the hunt for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy babysitter, she is the best!!
