I love working with children and having the opportunity to learn and grow with them. I currently work as a substitute teacher in FCCS and my first ever job was at a daycare, where I had many skills needed in the childcare industry. I worked as a floater and was able to work in almost every classroom that ranged from infants to preschoolers. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to learn and grow with all kinds of personalities and thrive in different types of environments. One of those qualities is the ability to multitask and develop critical thinking skills in a fast-paced environment, while also keeping everyone safe and happy. After working there a couple of months, I worked for a nannying/baby nurse agency and I had the pleasure of working as an infant nurse/caregiver and was able to care for two lovely little girls. I also had the responsibility of assisting their mother in the house with light duties. Overall it was a very lovely experience and I learned a lot from these individuals. I believe I would be a great fit due to my experience and my eagerness and willingness to learn more and grow.

Amanda M., Babysitter in Kathleen, FL 33849 with 2 years of paid experience

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. :)

Ash M., Babysitter in Kathleen, FL 33849 with 14 years of paid experience

I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, and caring for kids is something I genuinely love and take seriously. I’ve worked in classroom settings as well as one-on-one with families, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate care. My background includes Montessori, PBS, and HighScope-based approaches, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like diapering, meal prep, nap schedules, homework help, and engaging play. I’m especially attentive to creating a calm, safe, and supportive environment where children feel seen, respected, and secure. I’m patient, dependable, and highly observant—whether that means picking up on a child’s emotional needs, following family preferences closely, or adapting to different personalities and routines. I also have experience supporting children with special needs and understand the importance of consistency, clear communication, and compassion. Families often describe me as nurturing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and kids feel comfortable with.
