Hi I am a retired dental hygienist after working 30 yrs in the same office. I have 4 kids and 8 grandkids. am available for week days and date nights and overnights. .I was working for a.vascular surgeon and neurologist taking care of there 18 mo old..started when she was 3 mo but grandma retired and wanted to watch the baby. I was watching a 3 yr.old little girl in Valrico 5 days a week ..started full time when she was 4 mo old but she is going to montessori full time so my job ended . I was working 4 days a week for a couple in Valrico taking care of a 2 yr old( I started when she was 3 mo) and 7 and 8 yr old. She is now enrolled in a Montessori school .l And I was working full time in Tampa watching a yr old but that ended because he is going to the same school as his brother.Previous to that I was working for 2 lawyers who have a 4 mo old and a 2.5 yr old. but they moved to Tallahasee. And I also worked for a couple in Plant City who have a 2.5 yr old son during the week. I am cpr certified and do not have a criminal background.. I love children and when I retired from the dental profession I knew I wanted day care to be my next profession.. I live in Lakeland but I don't mind driving 45 min to an hr away. I did it for 30 yrs and in the snow!! I have a 2012 Toyota prius and it's great on gas and I have a clean driving record. I devote my whole time to the child and children. Gina aka Norma Jean. I have a copy of my background report and drivers report that I had done.

Hello! I'm an experienced, nurturing childcare provider with over 15 years of hands-on experience and a dedicated homeschooling mom of four. Creating a safe, loving, and structured environment for children isn't just my profession - it's the foundation of my home. I've cared for children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I approach each child with patience, empathy, and intentional attention to their individual needs. I focus on gentle structure, positive guidance, and meaningful play that supports creativity, emotional growth, confidence, and independence. Our days include crafts, outdoor play, sensory activities, reading, and hands-on learning experiences designed to support development in a fun and engaging way. I value strong communication and provide regular updates so you always feel connected and reassured. If you're looking for dependable, attentive care where your child will feel secure, supported, and genuinely valued, I would love to connect with you.

Anna was truly a Godsend! She was amazing with my twins. She went above and beyond, even engaging them in sensory play, and treated them like they were part of her own family.

I love working with kids and teaching them new things. The happiness on a kids face when they finally accomplish something they have been working on makes me love being a sitter. I enjoy the outdoors, animals, crafts and trying new things. I work with preschoolers and I'm DCF certified as well as CPR certified. I have experience babysitting as well, I've babysat my neighbor's children as well as family-friend's children.

Hi. My name is Amada, I'm from Brazil and I've been living in Florida for 2 years with my husband, who has an MBA here in Lakeland. I've always loved children. I've taken care of many cousins who are younger than me, and one day I dream of being a mother. Because I'm very close to children, I decided to work as a babysitter as soon as I arrived in the United States. I've worked for 3 families here in the city with children ranging from 2 to 10 years old. I really enjoy playing, talking and taking care of them. I have my own vehicle, so I can also pick the children up from school or take them to appointments. I also have very flexible hours. :)

With five years of professional, paid babysitting experience and a lifetime of helping raise my two younger siblings, childcare is truly my passion. As a recent high school graduate with high honors who aspires to be a teacher, I love creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where kids can thrive. I am fully CPR certified, exceptionally reliable, and can easily provide excellent references upon request. When I am not babysitting, I work at the local movie theater, which comes with a fantastic bonus: while I'm babysitting, I can take your kids to the movies completely for free! I love connecting with families and bringing positive energy, patience, and structure into the home. I look forward to giving your children a fun, safe, and memorable experience while giving you total peace of mind.

Violet is very responsible and thoughtful. She stays calm when needed and we enjoyed having her. We would work with her again if we were still in the same state.

She is a very sweet and down to earth woman. She gives NANA vibes and I felt like she was watching my kids more out of love than money. I will definitely be using her again!

I’m a current highschool homeschooling student working for an AA degree. While i’m new to professional childcare, I have 2 years of experience working with children- and absolutely love it. My current job is watching kids while their parents are in church service. My role is to share the gospel with them and give them an opportunity to engage in different activities while having fun with friends. I’m skilled in meal prep, diaper changes, good at setting boundaries, special needs care, and I have my own car. I am very energetic and patient, while being able to create a fun and safe environment for your little one. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

First time babysitter and she did an amazing job. My son has already requested that she comes back. She prepped healthy meals that he very much enjoyed, as well as she helped clean his room. Very sweet girl and respectful.
