We have relied on Nazneen as our trusted babysitter for many years, caring for our three children since they were toddlers (age 2 and up). Our children are now 22, 16, and 13, and even today she remains someone we fully trust and turn to for childcare support. She has always been our go-to caregiver because she is dependable, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with kids of all ages. Nazneen creates a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while also keeping children engaged and cared for. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and CPR-certified provider, she brings an added level of professionalism and confidence to her childcare. We have always felt completely comfortable leaving our children in her care and highly recommend her to any family looking for a responsible, experienced babysitter.

Danielle D., Babysitter in Ocklawaha, FL 32179 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Danielle and I am 28 years old. I am a VPK teacher over in Largo and work with 4-5 year olds. Children are my passion. I have worked with children as young as newborns, all the way up through high school. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, Special Education and in Applied Psychology. I have all of the 40 clock hours required for child care professionals I am First Aid and CPR certified. I spent a year as a live in nanny for a little boy who when I started was 6 months. Mom and dad both worked 12 and 24 hour shifts so I know first hand the importance of a good bedime routine and have have no problem helping out with small cleaning projects such as laundry and dishes after such time I have been living with a friend for the last 4 years who has a boy who is now 6 and I am just as much his parent. I feel as though I have heard and seen it all! :) I love reading and doing art projects. I feel that children learn best through conversation and hands on experience. In my personal time I love being outdoors near the water.

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.
