Emily G., Babysitter in Gainesville, FL 32608 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!

Micha W., Babysitter in Gainesville, FL 32608 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.

Ava D., Babysitter in Gainesville, FL 32608 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Ava Domlija, and I am a freshman at UF. I am looking for a part-time babysitting job, and I have flexible hours. I have had 4 years of experience with children ranging from ages 2-10. I have volunteered in a preschool during high school where I acted as an assistant to the teachers and had my own responsibilities to supervise the children and assist during mealtimes. I also worked as an assistant gymnastics coach for children as well a camp counselor during the summers where it was my job to teach children gymnastics and play games with them. I love being with children as I am studying elementary education now in college, and in high school, I took an early childhood class all 4 years where I earned a state certification, ECPC, and a national certification, CDA. I would love to be able to work some hours as a babysitter for your children!

Nicole K., Babysitter in Gainesville, FL 32608 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole, and I’m 23 years old. My fiancé and I are planning to move to the Ocala area next year, and since he already works out there, I’m hoping to start establishing myself in the area as well. With that being said, I’m looking to begin babysitting or nannying for a family in the area. I absolutely love working with children of all ages! I’m especially comfortable with babies and toddlers, but I enjoy spending time with older kids just as much. While I haven’t babysat professionally through an agency, I am CPR and First Aid certified, have completed a basic babysitting training course, and have years of experience caring for younger cousins and neighborhood children. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, cooking meals, tidying up, and assisting with homework as needed. I want to make life easier for busy families however I can! I would love the opportunity to support a family in need of reliable, caring help. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested. I’d love to meet you and your little ones to see if we’d be a great fit!
