Find local babysitters in Gainesville, FL

Hello and thanks for viewing my profile! I absolutely adore children and always have. My experience with babysitting consists of newborns to roughly 13 years old. Currently pursuing a nursing degree, I’m concentrating on psychiatric and rehabilitation because I’m curious about the mind but also passionate about health & wellness. In my free time, I spend time with my animals or love to decorate houses in the Sims. I am BLS certified for adults and children, as well as dogs and cats. I became certified to administer medication appropriately in 2021 and also took a CNA course. I have reliable transportation. Please send me a message if you think I would fit well with your family. Thanks! <3 Ps. Not vaccinated for Covid, don’t mind wearing a mask.

Hi there my name is MariaElena. I am from Carolina Alta, Puerto Rico. I have been living in Gainesville, FL since I was 8 years old.  I am in the process of moving here  because my brother is a Warren Officer in the Marines and stationed here in Jacksonville NC.  I have been working in child care since the age of 13, started of  babysitting here and there until the age of 18 when I got a job in a daycare. I worked in daycare until the age of 22. I got married and started doing Nanny from home. I've been doing this now for a couple years. I feel like I love more to be a nanny because you get more of a one-on-one with a child rather than in a daycare environment there's a different ratio so you don't get that one on one. I have always wanted the parents to feel safe when they drop off their most precious gift and feel secured that I will care for them with my whole life as if they were my very own. I love what I do and I don't think that that will ever change, I feel like I can learn so much from the children and the same time they learn so much from me. Right now in Gainesville I have an in home daycare where I have eight children right now with another co-worker. The ages vary from 3 month old too a four year old. I have plenty of references that I am willing to give upon request. I like to have everybody on a schedule where they do Circle time, learning time, manipulatives, sensory,  outside time, arts and crafts, and so much more. Depending age we focus on colors, shapes, numbers, alphabet, writing, homework activities,  and any requirements for that age group. I have gotten kids ready for VPK that's a program that they have here in Gainesville I don't believe that they have it there in Jacksonville. I potty train, I can prepare meals,  I am bilingual and love to speak Spanish to the kids so that way they will learn a second language, I also know some sign language that I also try to teach them.  I am looking to add more kids because as of right now I will only have a 4 year old.  if you have any questions please feel free to email me or contact me to my phone number, thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

I am an experienced child care teacher who loves teaching little ones. I would consider myself attentive and enthusiastic. I try to bring creativity and educational purpose to everything I do. I am also bilingual and know a little ASL.

I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have volunteered, babysat and tutored for children in the past.

Hello! My name is Victoria D'Orazio, and I’m so excited to find my next full-time nanny position! With over 11 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for children from newborns to 12 years old—most extensively between the ages of 3 months to 4 years. I have a strong background in supporting children of all abilities, including those with Down syndrome and autism. My experience includes working in private homes, public school classrooms (as a preschool teacher’s aide), and as a 1-on-1 aide for children with developmental disabilities. I bring warmth, reliability, and positivity to every family I work with. I’m passionate about nurturing children’s emotional, mental, and physical development and dream of becoming a mother myself one day. I'm also happy to help with household tasks—cooking (I love to cook!), grocery shopping, light cleaning, laundry, and driving. I recently relocated to Florida to support my boyfriend while he attends dental school at UF, and I’m looking to build a long-term, meaningful relationship with a local family. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing (graduated with honors) and have a background in musical theatre—creativity and fun are always part of my care style! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am comfortable caring for multiple children at once. Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusted relationships with many families—some of whom I’ve worked with for over 7 years—and I’d be happy to provide references who can speak to my character and experience. I’m also highly organized, with strong time management skills and a calm, clear communication style. I work closely with parents to ensure their values and routines are supported. I love helping children learn and grow and am confident supporting early childhood development—whether that’s helping with reading, writing, or homework for older children. In my free time, I enjoy trying new recipes, baking sourdough bread, going for walks, bike rides, and attending church. These activities keep me grounded and joyful, and I bring that same positive energy into my work with families. I look forward to connecting with you and your family!

Hello!! My name is Juliette but I go by the nickname Jj as it’s easy for kids to say. I can help with sleep training, potty training, weaning off of pacifiers or breastmilk, cleaning the home, cooking, bedtime, play time, nap time, and almost anything else that I’m needed for. I enjoy working with kids and I’m becoming a baby sitter bc I wish to work in child care and hopefully work in a proper daycare/nursery one day. Unfortunately I can not yet drive but I do have reliable transportation. I have done baby sitting jobs in various neighborhoods that were within walking distance for about 5 years while I was still in school. I have since graduated and I’m looking for a proper baby sitting job. I really do love working with kids, and pets will never be a problem. I hope my dream of childcare comes true, and I hope I am your best and first choice!!
