Run With BabysitEase

Join Us For Some Outdoor Exercise
 
Join BabysitEase on August 7, 2010, for the Lady Distance Classic, a kid-friendly race for the whole family to enjoy. Each year the BabysitEase family shows up to make this event lots of fun for everyone. The 10K and 5K will begin at 7:15 a.m. for runners. Walkers and strollers will begin at 7:18 a.m.

It's not too late to join BabysitEase (well, really it's just Peggy doing her first triathlon) on July 18 for a short distance swim, bike, run. The race is put on by a local personal trainer to raise awareness and increase education of ovarian cancer. Ask Elyse Jarard for additional information, and find details on her website.

Meet New BabysitEase Management

  In Good Hands With Rachel Castle

BabysitEase will be in good hands while Peggy takes maternity leave to give birth to twins! Rachel Castle, currently a BabysitEase sitter, will take over operations during Peggy's absence, effective March 15. During this time Katie Menard, who runs BabysitEase Lexington and has been helping BabysitEase Cincinnati on the weekends for the past year, will be answering phone calls on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Rachel Castle has been working with BabysitEase since 2008 as a babysitter. She recently became a mother, and believes moving into management is a great transition for her new life. Rachel has been an amazing addition to the BabysitEase team, providing excellent care and customer service to our families. We are confident that her foundation as a childcare provider will serve her well as she supports our families and sitters in this new capacity.
