Hi! My name is Arianna. I am a compassionate, dependable babysitter with years of experience in healthcare and childcare. I’m currently in college studying radiologic technology, to then become a diagnostic sonographer! I have been working with children since I was 17 years old. From preschools, to in home care, as well as day camps. I am able to do school/camp pickup and drop offs, drives to and from extracurricular activities, homework help, assistance with other household duties. I genuinely enjoy working with, caring for and connecting with kids.

Arianna helped me out on short notice and was able to watch my daughter for four hours while I had to go to an appointment. I found Arianna to responsive, responsible and a genuinely nice and happy person. My 8 year old enjoyed her time with Arianna (and she’s rather picky about her sitters). I’d use Arianna again and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great sitter.

Thank you for selecting my profile. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children ranging from newborns to pre-teens, and I raised two children on my own. I am based in Sarasota and have a new SUV, a clean driving record, and a clean background. I am AED/CPR Certified for Adults, Children and Babies. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, and a background in teaching. If you would like me to take your child out of your home, rest assured I have training in Krav Maga, an Israeli self-defense system. Your child will be safe. Additionally, I hold a voluntary inactive Florida Real Estate License, which means my fingerprints are on file with the state and I have passed a background check. I welcome you to run a background check yourself and will provide references and anything else to make you feel comfortable and confident. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring caretaker. I have a true passion for working with children. I am patient, energetic, nurturing, and love staying busy. During nap times, I prefer organizing, tidying up, or helping with light household tasks. I like having fun while helping children learn and thrive. I am easy-going and work with all personalities. I follow the parenting style that you choose. I have always treated the children in my care as my own and will be just as protective and loving. If you are looking for a responsible, dependable, nurturing babysitter/nanny feel free to contact me so that I may send my references and we may set up a call.

Maria did a wonderful job watching my 2-year-old and 10-month-old. She gracefully managed both kids, kept up with all their needs, made sure they had nutritious meals, and stayed on top of diaper changes. She was patient, caring, and dependable.

My girls loved her and I so appreciated how tidy she was and the great lunch she prepared. She was very engaged with my girls playing with them and she was totally open to getting in the pool. I would have loved to have her for additional days and will definitely be getting in touch when we head back to Sarasota this summer.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bree! She has been an absolute blessing for our family and has formed such a special bond with my 3-year-old son. From the very first day, she made him feel comfortable, safe, and happy, which as a parent, means the world. She’s reliable, patient, and incredibly attentive to his needs and routines. Whether it’s playtime, snack time, or helping him wind down for bed, she handles everything with so much care and calm. I love how she engages him in creative play, reads to him, and encourages learning through fun. Every time she leaves, he’s already asking when she’ll be back! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my son is in such capable and loving hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and truly amazing with children, she’s the one.

Brittany graciously came very last minute for us after our other contact wasn't available, with only a few hours notice and saved our anniversary date night! She took such great care of my son, and took him to a trampoline park for us. He returned with a huge glass of water in one hand and a slushie in the other hand. He was extra thirsty and she kept him well hydrated. I'm very thankful for her help and don't hire babysitters often but will definitely contact her again!

We had a great experience with Alexa watching our kids ages 3, 7 and 10. She is fun, engaging and caring. We were very happy to find out that Alexa is studying to become a nurse and she knows what to do in case of an emergency. The communication was great throughout whole process. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter to other families and would happily use her help again.

Christina (Leaf) took on full nanny responsibilities for our 16 month twins for two weeks due to a gap in care before they started school. We wish would have found her earlier because the twins took to her so quickly. She was on time, patient, caring and in two short weeks taught the twins to be more independent and responsive. We strongly recommend her if you are looking for full time care.

Hi, I’m Ava—your new favorite chaos coordinator! Every parent dreams of finding that rare babysitter who combines energy, encouragement, and true dependability, and that’s what I bring to every family. If keeping up with your kids and getting them to focus feels as impossible as spotting a unicorn, you just got lucky—because here I am. Sarasota is my home base, and nothing makes me happier than being part of the wild, wonderful journey of childhood. I’ve worked with many families and especially love connecting with school-age kids and preteens—the golden years where curiosity, honesty, and a bit of structure all matter. I help kids shine with living room dance parties, arts and crafts, and outdoor adventures that leave us all with big smiles. When focus is needed, I’m ready with fun routines, homework support, healthy snacks, and screen-free wind-downs. I always aim to leave your home calm and tidy so you return to peace and happy faces, not chaos. My goal is to make your life easier, brighten your kids’ days, and build the trust that lets you relax, knowing your family is well cared for. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s your child’s new favorite sidekick and your most reliable helper, let’s connect! I can’t wait to bring a smile to your family.
