Emily G., Babysitter in Alachua, FL 32615 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Emily! I've been nannying/pet sitting for over 7 years (ages newborn to 12) and truly love what I do. I'm BLS and CPR certified, have a Bachelor's in Health Science, and I'm currently studying to pass my exam to earn certification in intraoperative neuromonitoring. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing space where children can learn and feel loved- whether that's through crafts, outdoor play, or story time. Over the years, I've built long-lasting relationships with families I've worked for and many have become friends. I'm reliable, patient, caring, and aim to make parents feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I also have experience caring for pets, house sitting, being a mommy's helper, and traveling with families. I am also bilingual in Spanish. If you are still looking for help let’s schedule a call to discuss more!

Emily has been amazing with my 16 month old boy. From the initial conversation, meet and greet, to caring for my child she's been great. Emily has worked for us several times now and is always professional in her communication and prompt with responses. She was able to help us out with a last minute need which was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

Sarah C., Babysitter in Alachua, FL 32615 with 11 years of paid experience

I have been a nanny and babysat children throughout most of high school and college. I have 10 years of paid experience! I have a BS in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health. I have babysat and nannied for many special needs children and teens. I have also worked with children with profound food allergies, deafness, Autism, Down syndrome, and Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. I can sign and will gladly teach children who are not hearing impaired if you wish! I also have infant care experience and experience working with triplets and twins. I love children of all ages and enjoy their energy and simple enthusiasm for life. I love spending time outside in the rain or shine! I enjoy playing games, swimming and doing arts and crafts. Art is very important to me and I love to show children how to express themselves through sketching, sculpting with clay, or painting. Also, I understand how busy most parents can be, and sometimes even with the best of intentions, housework can sometimes begin to fall a bit behind. I never had a problem doing some cleaning and a few loads of laundry. I love to cook foreign dishes, and I also love to bake. I am mostly looking for a full-time/part-time job as a live-out nanny to a mature family- meaning mom and dad have steady jobs, and are not heading out the door to go hang out at the local bar at 11:30 a.m. I love working for secure families, people who truly love their children and are just trying to provide the best life possible for their little ones. I hope to hear from you soon! A few more things: * I much prefer working nanny jobs with a nanny contract. I have a few pre-made contracts that we can potentially use as a template. * I love large families; the more kids the merrier! * I love working for home-school families! I have worked for a couple of homeschooling families in the past and they were truly amazing! * I do not work for stay-at-home dads-once in a while if dad is sick or has errands, then of course, no problem! * Ask for my references. They are excellent!

Micha W., Babysitter in Alachua, FL 32615 with 6 years of paid experience

I have always loved children and working with them and caring for them has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. My career goal is to eventually have my own home daycare center. Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. My eight years of experience caring for children aged 0-4, with a special focus on infants and toddlers, have solidified my commitment to their well-being. I am patient, creative, and approachable, always striving to create a fun and stimulating environment. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities that foster learning. I communicate openly with parents, using verbal updates and text messages, and I am happy to follow your preferred method. I'm comfortable reinforcing your household rules. I have a Child Development Associate (CDA) certification and can assist with crafts. I'm excited to bring my energy and experience to your family and help your children thrive, because making a positive impact on their lives is incredibly rewarding.

Gianna R., Babysitter in Alachua, FL 32615 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Gianna, and I'm an upcoming sophomore at the University of Alabama where I'm majoring in Kinesiology on a Pre-PA track and competing on the track team. I've been a CIT at Camp Crystal, summer camp counselor at YMCA, afterschool counselor at Sun Country Sports Center and a volunteer at Greenhouse Kids Church while babysitting on the side as well. I'm also CPR certified. I've worked with ages 3-16 but most closely with kindergarteners and 5th graders, but I really enjoy engaging with kids of all ages and helping create a fun, safe, and positive environment. I'm available to help with things like homework, meals, activities, bedtime routines, animals, and anything else your family needs. I am super creative so your little ones will never run out of activities to do! I have a love for making games, crafts, playing sports, etc, but most of all making sure we have fun! A little more about me: I have a passion for animals. I’ve grown up having many different kinds of animals ranging from mini pigs to hairless cats! I also like music, nature, and all things fitness. One of my favorite activities is to throw on some music and find a cool trail to hike/walk. I also love to run, given it’s what I do in college!
