Paula has been my sitter for my first son since he was 2, for several years on and off. Now I have a second boy who is now 2, and my oldest is now 7. The biggest plus is she has a very strong relationship with the Lord. Both of my boys also have a very strong relationship with the Lord as well. She does very well with them, communicates, has great patience, doesn’t mind doing any of parents requests. She’s worked at schools and daycares, so she has many ideas of things to do with them both separately and collectively. She also blends in some Jesus time. She comes to all of our birthday parties and loves to be a part of the help to start them too. I would highly recommend her to others.

We love having Marcie help us with our two young boys (2yr and 4yr). With a third child on the way to join our family, we hired Marcie to help with the boys so we could prepare for our expanding family. We certainly hit the jackpot! Marcie has done an excellent job in preparing our boys for VPK and preschool. She engages them in daily activities, both educational and fun. She creates a structured environment to keep them focused by planning lessons ahead of time and keeping them on task. Marcie has also been a wonderful resource for general parenting questions and guidance which has been extremely helpful as we juggle the needs of three kids. She is more than willing to help with any chores around the house and will incorporate help from the boys, e.g. our 4yr has learned to clean his own room and takes pride in it! We really enjoy having Marcie help with our kids and would not hesitate to recommend her if you are considering hiring her as well!

Hi! I’m Emma! I have 11 years of childcare experience working with neurotypical and neurodivergent children ranging from infancy through early twenties. I have been a nanny for 4 years, babysitter for 9 years, aftercare school provider for 2 years, and an outpatient activity coordinator working with children for 1 year. I have a Bachelor’s degree in family and human services, and it is something I am truly passionate and knowledgeable about. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am comfortable working in a house where parents are present (work from home, hybrid work) and if there are dogs! I am reliable and will always prioritize your child's safety and cognitive/social development. I am always present with the child and always foster a fun and comfortable environment! I always will encourage limited screen time, extra time outdoors, socialization (parks, library, free classes, etc), and cognitive and developmental growth. Having lots of experience with children has provided me with a plethora of skills and resources to be able to provide the best care for your child(ren). I am responsible, very organized, and will always follow rules, parenting styles, etc. which parents ask me to follow. I am well versed in sleep training, homework assistance, tutoring, and much more. Being with children brings me so much joy! I love seeing children grow their personalities, discover new interests and notice the world around them. Seeing the world through a child's eyes is so magical and it is something that makes me so happy! I would love to talk more about my experience, my hopes as a nanny, and how I can best accommodate your families needs!

Hi. My name is Robin and I'm a 57 year old mom of 2. My daughters are 40 and 12. My 12 year old is an honor roll student and has been in the gifted program since beginning elementary school. She will be graduating to Junior high this month and I will have more availability after 5/22. I've been raising children since I was one myself, at age 17 I became a mother. I think when you have to be responsible and independent at such a young age, it makes you a stronger more resilient and compassionate person. I love all children, and have cared for children with special needs since I was 12. I was responsible for caring for my adopted sister who had cerebral palsy and it was my responsibility to get her up every morning, transfer her from the bed to wheelchair and assist her with dressing, grooming and her leg braces. So I have close to 47 year's caring for children. I've been a stay at home mom for the better part of 10 years, although I have done some occasional jobs caregiving and babysitting over the years. I am a licensed Certified Nursing Assistant (2009- present ) and have CPR/BLS/AED and first aid training and certification. I love animals and have several cats and a dog , and used to run a pet sitting business in Tampa. I am very familiar with different special needs children, ie , Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, sensory issues, Dravets Syndrome, CP, MD., and congenital brain damage. My nephew was born with his front temporal lobe missing. Caring for someone with this delicate condition is similar to caring for someone with Alzheimer's. I've learned to have a lot of patience and compassion and how to redirect when the situation calls for it. I can care for multiple children of any age, with any special needs. Children, senior's, pets, domestic and farm animals- everyone, everything except for a man child. Got one of those myself at home, and that's where I'd like to leave him when I'm out caring for others. 😉. Im sure some of you moms know exactly what Im referring too. I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Hope to meet your family soon and if not, I wish you the very best in your search for the right person to care for your precious children. Have a wonderful summer.

As the oldest sister to three younger siblings, I have gained many years of hands-on experience working with children and nurturing their growth. I am passionate about fostering learning, confidence, and joy in the minds of youth. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Language, Speech, and Hearing and plan to continue my education by pursuing a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. My passion for speech and language development grew after shadowing a speech-language pathologist in an elementary school. Interacting with the students and witnessing their progress was incredibly rewarding and confirmed my desire to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives. In addition to shadowing, I have worked in childcare settings and volunteered for several years at my church as a Vacation Bible School camp leader, where I supported children’s learning and social development. This past semester, I also served as a tutor at a local middle school on my university campus, assisting students with their Spanish assignments and helping them build academic confidence. I am fluent in Spanish, which allows me to better support and connect with diverse students and families. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and always willing to support children in achieving success. I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for those in my care. I currently live in Lutz, and in my free time, I enjoy exploring nature trails, watching sunrises and sunsets, and baking—activities that reflect my calm, creative, and nurturing personality.
