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 understand the importance of having someone that you can trust watch over your little ones. I myself have been there!

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.
