Find experienced babysitters in Sanibel, FL

Hello, I am from New York and moved to Florida a year and a half ago. I am a retired Nursery School Director. My love of children started when I began babysitting when I was 12 years old. I continued babysitting until I graduated college. I was an elementary school teacher for six years. I left teaching to be a stay at home mom and raised two boys. When my sons were teenagers, I returned to education part time and was a two year old head teacher at a church nursery school. I loved the children, the program, the other teachers, and I had a special connection with the parents. I did that for five years. I unfortunately had to leave the school to work and help my husband in his office. A few years later I was asked if I would be the director of the school. Since it was a morning program, I was able to work at the school and at the office . I held that position until I retired. I am still friendly with my staff and some of my former parents and students. At this point in my life, I would like to babysit part time. I love kids, pets, and pickle ball!

Hello, my name is Catherine. I have been baby sitting for family and friends for about 6 years. I just recently moved back!

I've been a regular baby sitter for five different families but now that I've moved back i'd love to help out a local caring family in my area.

I’m always available for date nights as well! & have experience with bed time routines as well as meal preparations Hope to hear back from you. CPR, First aid & AED Willing to help ASAP

I have over 19 years experience working as a sitter/nanny of all ages but mostly newborn to toddlers. I have experience with twins too. I’m patient and reliable. I love to have fun so playing along with kids is just in my nature. When I lived in Florida I worked with a family I was with for 9 years. I miss them all the time but I still spend time with them when I make trips to see my family there. I have experience with driving kids, baby sign, potty training, some sleep training, meltdowns, first aid/cpr, motor skill building activities,etc. I often develop activities based on the unique child. For example, I’ll do research and setup a lesson for the day/week. I have experience with special needs kids with OCD, Autism, ADHD, Down syndrome etc.

I am a mom of 2 grown sons, and " mom-mom" to Zoey and Meeko. I love Zoey and Meeko, but they each have 4 legs and wagging tails, and they just don't sit still when I want to read to them, or take them to the movies. I decided to reach out to moms and dads that would appreciate the love and fun that I can give to their kids. I have completed the Heartsaver, First Aid, CPR, AED course given by the American Heart Association, so your children are safe with me. Formerly, Bubbles the Clown, you may come home to faces painted, musical squares, or us having quiet time after a full day of fun. Rather than waiting on my kids to make me a grandma, I figured I have so much love to give... I better start now. I am newly retired and looking for part-time or date nights. Thank you in advance for considering me.

Hi, I am retired but devoted my life to education and children grades PK-12th. I owned and operated a school for 11 years and it was ranked as an incredible example in our industry magazine. My mission statement was to teach life skills through athletics. I love kids and being with them in figuring out for themselves how to make the good choice and be true to themselves. I live just playing and celebrating them and their unique gifts, or discovering that. I have 2 Masters Degrees in education, one in counseling and one in teaching. I am not certified in either in that I pursued these to aid with my own children. I have a gifted child and a child with disabilities. I have a long history of working with kiddos on the Autism spectrum....somehow I am blessed to understand to give them time. Im available for sick care, errands, date night, a set schedule or just a babysitter option. I can handle up to 5 children depending on ages and independent levels. I have reliable fully insured transportation and no tickets or infractions and have no accidents. I was blessed as a child to have incredible mentors and educators in my life and have been blessed to be this for so many children. It is a gift to spend time with them. I have open availability and sold my school 17 years ago for a generous profit and spend my time connecting with kids and helping families thrive. I am available for part time or occasional appointments. Education and children have been my life and I feel like I have won the lottery for getting the privilege to spend time with your children in almost every case. My goal is to follow your lead and match your parenting style and be a support. My other goal is to just be a fan of your family and support and cheer you on in every way you need or define. Howard Gardner is an educational theorist and he wrote a book about the 5 minds of the future. I truly believe we are all born with innate gifts and learning and developing those is a true honor to be a part of. I believe in pillars of good choices, integrity in all you do and always making sure you are proud of your choices, which especially includes being kind and understanding we are all unique. Im new to the area and hoping to volunteer at the Youth Center and make connections with great families.
