Maria M., Babysitter in Lakeland, FL 33810 with 6 years of paid experience

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.

Keely  A., Babysitter in Lakeland, FL 33810 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! My name is Keely, and I am a college student at Southeastern University studying nursing. I am seeking a babysitting position for the school year. I absolutely love kids. I love helping them learn, play, and grow. I want to develop a relationship with the parents and children I sit for, as it develops a sense of trust and security. I babysat for a family before I went to college, caring for a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old. I understand basic first aid, and I am CPR certified as well. In addition, I took a babysitting course as a teenager. I am patient, reliable, caring, and empathic. I have strong communication skills and will be sure to maintain strong communication with parents. I am skilled in meal prep and light housekeeping, homework help, and routine management (bedtime, naps, feeding). Feel free to contact me with any interest and questions!

Amanda M., Babysitter in Lakeland, FL 33810 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. :)
