I have been a Nanny 22 years. I am able to walk into any situation and successfully handle everything needed. I have had the pleasure of working with all ages over years. I am the baby whisperer. I would love the opportunity to give you further details on my experience over the phone or in person. I have excellent references and I am a "5 star" nanny. I have had a National Background check and I have also had a DHR, fingerprint check. I felt this was the best way to ensure to future families that they are getting the Best Nanny for their Precious Angels. I believe ALL caretakers need to have both of these background checks completed. I also have worked for doctors and have a military pass.

Hey there! My name is Oriana. I'm an experienced, nurturing, and dependable babysitter with a passion for providing a comforting and welcoming environment for children. I come from a diverse background and am fluent in English and Spanish. Family means everything to me, that's why I'm so passionate about babysitting because it allows me the opportunity to make a positive impact in children’s lives and contribute to their well-being. It also contributes to my own personal growth as learning from and caring for others can surprisingly help us understand and care for ourselves better. I hold a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in English. This has helped me recognize the importance of child development stages, including emotional and social learning. I strive to create a compassionate and supportive atmosphere, allowing children the space to feel comfortable sharing their emotions and needs. I aim to foster their growth as individuals, helping them navigate the ups and downs of everyday life with resilience and confidence. With a creative and imaginative mindset, I love engaging kids in educational and entertaining activities such as arts and crafts, reading, storytelling, movement and dance, imaginative play, and helping make homework time an enjoyable and stimulating experience. I am patient, adaptable, and adept at handling various situations that may arise when caring for children. Safety is always my top priority which is why I will be renewing my Adult and Pediatric First AID/CPR certification this month. I emphasize building strong relationships with both children and parents as I believe open and clear communication are key in building trust. I recognize and celebrate the individuality of every child. I take the time to understand the child’s personality, interests, and preferences in order to provide personalized care and support. I have experience working with children of various ages and temperaments, which has taught me the importance of tailoring my approach to suit each child’s needs. I also pay close attention to parents’ instructions and guidelines; making sure to understand their expectations regarding things like meal prep, bedtime routines, screen time and any specific rules they’ve set. I am here to provide reliable and trustworthy care for your little ones, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Let's create a positive and enjoyable experience for your family! My schedule is flexible so please feel free to reach out.

I have delighted in caring for children for more than 35 years. As the oldest grandchild on both sides, I had lots of little cousins to practice on! I was then blessed to raise 5 kids of my own (currently 25, 24, 23, 21, and 19). When the youngest went off to kindergarten, I started caring for babies and toddlers in different child care centers. I have served in both lead and co-teacher scenarios, focusing on children birth to 24 months. My associate's degree is in child development, while my bachelor's is in business administration. I have held my Director's Credential in the state of Florida, but let it lapse as I am more interested in hands on child care than I am in the administrative duties involved in running a center. I have also served as the Youth Services Coordinator in a small community library. I hosted storytimes 4x per week as well as monthly movies and special events. I still host a monthly storytime for the community, though not through the library. I live in a tourist area in Florida and run a sitting service for visitors (www.beachbabyzzz.com). I do much of the sitting myself, building relationships with families that last for years. I also have a cadre of ladies that I send when I am not available. I can provide a multitude of outstanding references upon request. Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile!

Hello! My name is Alexee and I am passionate about supporting families through childcare and household tasks. I do have previous experience with consistent babysitting but have never been considered a “nanny”. I am recently married (!!!) and I’m a Okaloosa County native. Coming from a military family, and having Christian values I know how important it is to treat others with respect and kindness regardless of their background. I am more than happy to do a background check, provide references, and answer any questions you may have to ensure that I’d be a good fit for your family. I am CPR certified and I do have my own reliable transportation. I hope to go back to school within the next year or two studying Human Development and Family Science. Again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time today!

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and highly experienced childcare provider with over 20 years of experience working with toddlers and school-age children. I truly love being a sitter because I enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel safe while having fun in a nurturing environment. My background includes both in-home childcare and school settings, and I currently work in an elementary school, where I support students in the classroom, help with behavior guidance, and ensure children are safe and supported throughout the day. I previously ran an in-home childcare program where I planned age-appropriate activities, supported early learning, and created a structured, loving environment for young children. I’m very comfortable with toddler routines like meals, naps, potty training support, and play-based learning. With school-age kids, I enjoy helping with homework, doing crafts, playing games, and encouraging outdoor play and creativity. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and clear communication to help children feel confident and understood. I am CPR and First Aid trained, and safety is always my top priority. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and warm. My goal is to make sure children are safe, happy, and engaged while giving parents complete peace of mind

I’m 26 and I’ve spent a huge chunk of my life in roles where caring for others, especially kids, was literally the job. Before joining the military, I worked at a children’s theatre with kids of all ages, including children on the spectrum. I’ve been in the Air Force for 7 years now as a medic/EMT. I’m licensed and BLS/CPR certified, and I’ve worked in pediatrics, the ICU, and currently in the Allergy & Immunization clinic. Outside of work, I’ve volunteered at schools and daycares, and I’ve coached a youth soccer team. A lot of my friends have kids too, so I’m comfortable around different ages and personalities. Also, I’m a sitter on Rover, so caring for pets is part of my routine, I’m dependable, respectful of routines, and I genuinely enjoy looking after living things, whether that’s kids or animals. Overall, I feel confident watching children, and I’m someone who’s naturally patient, observant, and nurturing.
