Jessica R., Babysitter in Ocklawaha, FL 32179 with 25 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I'd be delighted to work as your caregiver! I recently moved back to Florida to be closer to family permanently. I have years of experience working at Montessori schools and as both a part-time and full-time nanny with children from infants to young adults. I am certified by the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) Program. From 2013-2014, I worked as a full-time caregiver with a 2.5 - 3-year-old, and as a part-time caregiver with a child from when she was 16 - 24 months, in addition to her brother who was a newborn. From 2018-2019, I worked part-time as a nanny with an infant from when he was a newborn = 6 months old. From 2023-2024, I took care of another infant from when she was 1 - 8 months old, part-time. From 2025-2026, I also worked part-time as a caregiver with an infant from when she was a newborn - 8 months. In 2024, I earned my PhD in English from Northwestern University and taught as an Adjunct Professor of English at St. Xavier University in Chicago, IL throughout last semester. In 2011, I graduated from Cornell Universtiy, where I double-majored in English and Spanish, so I thoroughly enjoy reading and would be happy to promote a creative, literary environment. In addition, I am a big fan of the outdoors and sports, so I'd be happy to engage interatively, as a caregiver, as well! I truly enjoy working with children, and I would love to help in any way I can. I am a non-smoker and very responsible. Please feel free to message me here. Thank you, Jessica

Jessica is an absolute treasure! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about newborn/infant care she was incredibly receptive to our care plan and took direction with the highest level of respect and understanding. Another aspect that my wife and I appreciated about Jessica was her communication and punctuality. We were sad to move cities for work otherwise, we would have continued to employ her! 10/10

Hello, you can call me Neris, Being the youngest girl in our family i watched all my relatives have kids of their own, to all which i simply adore. From making them smile, to going down for nap. I am always the one to be there. I’d consider myself someone nice and caring, fun and energetic. I have a 4yr old girl, who is super social and loves to play with other littles. I understand the importance of having someone that you can trust watch over your little ones. I myself have been there! Ive worked in childcare facility over the last 3 years and now currently looking to have a more permanent setting. I would love to care for your children in your home or mines!

Cynthia S., Babysitter in Ocklawaha, FL 32179 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Cindy. I moved from Delaware to The Villages a few years ago. Upon moving to The Villages I worked as a nanny for a family that had 2 sons - 9 months old and 2 years old. Unfortunately the father had a job transfer and they relocated out of state. Since then I have had several babysitting jobs for children ages infant to 13 years old. I am college educated and retired as a personal care assistant for children with special needs in the pre-school through 6th grade school level. Prior to that I was a pre-school teacher and worked with 2-5 year olds. I am a very healthy, reliable, loving, caring, friendly and upbeat person. I am also very creative and I will bring fun and excitement to your child's day. I am CPR/First Aid certified, TB tested, non-smoker, and I have a clean driving record. I am an animal lover and have a Maine Coon cat named Bodie (although he thinks his name is Mommy's Baby). I also cook, clean, garden, do laundry, will walk a dog and use my car to drive around locally to do errands for you. I will also pick up your child from school or after school activities and help with homework. I am eager to hear from you regarding this position. References will gladly be provided to you upon request. Thank you for reading my story.

I have been babysitting since I was 13 and have enjoyed it ever since. From infants to teens I have dealt with many different situations and have a lot of experience. I spent 1.5 years as a recreation coordinator and coach where I got certified for First AID and CPR along with learning more about what different environments children thrive in. My job as a babysitter is to help make your life and your child’s life easier and happier.

Hi! I’m Stephanie, I’m 21, and I love working with kids. Being a sitter is something I really enjoy because I get to help kids have fun while also supporting their growth and routines. I like creating a positive, safe, and relaxed environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I have over 5 years of experience with a wide range of ages, from infants to older kids. I’m used to helping with things like homework, meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained with fun and creative activities.

I’m patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with, and I always make sure parents feel confident leaving their kids in my care. I’d love the chance to help out your family and make things a little easier for you!
