I’m a college student who’s willing to drive hour distances to take care of the kids. I have experience with infants, special needs children, toddlers, and elementary-middle school children. I also cared for my younger brother from an infant up to eight years as my mother was a single mom and needed help. I have great skills with children and use a gentle approach when communicating. I understand leaving your children with someone who can keep them safe is important so if more information regarding my experience or absolutely anything is needed, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to speaking :)

Hi there! I’m Vanessa—most kids call me “Nessa.” I’m 26 years old and have a true passion for working with children of all ages. Whether it’s for a date night or regular care, I bring years of experience as a nanny and sitter through various childcare companies, as well as hands-on experience in a daycare setting. I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher for Polk County Schools. I began my studies in elementary education but soon realized I thrive most in smaller, more personal environments where I can provide individualized care, attention, and support. I’m currently working as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), where I have the privilege of supporting children with disabilities by focusing on behavioral goals and developmental progress in a compassionate and caring way. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and be a positive, nurturing part of their lives. Please feel free to message me with any questions or for references! 4074332598

I have over six years of babysitting experience, including overnight care for children of all ages. I've cared for infant twins as well as twins up to four years old. I’m skilled in helping with homework, housework, laundry, errands, and school pick-up. I’m comfortable with children of any age and have experience with pets, both my own and those of families I’ve worked with, making me a versatile and reliable babysitter. As a college student, I have flexible hours and am fully available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the week, I’m available some evenings after 6 PM and for after-school pick-up on select days. My mornings from 8 AM Monday through Thursday are generally booked, but I am available for early morning care and school drop-off before 8:30 AM if needed.
