Hi my name is Emily! I've been nannying/pet sitting for over 7 years (ages newborn to 12) and truly love what I do. I'm BLS and CPR certified, have a Bachelor's in Health Science, and I'm currently studying to pass my exam to earn certification in intraoperative neuromonitoring. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing space where children can learn and feel loved- whether that's through crafts, outdoor play, or story time. Over the years, I've built long-lasting relationships with families I've worked for and many have become friends. I'm reliable, patient, caring, and aim to make parents feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I also have experience caring for pets, house sitting, being a mommy's helper, and traveling with families. I am also bilingual in Spanish. If you are still looking for help let’s schedule a call to discuss more!

Hi! My name is Sophia Miller and I just recently moved to Gainesville. I have been babysitting even before I started driving and want a future in being a pediatric PA. I have been volunteering at a camp every year called Camp I Am Special for any ages with intellectual disabilities. I love being around children and helping families out for a date night or days away at work. I have babysat many families in my years of experience of all ages. I always make sure to clean up the house to help parents out with stress of their days. I am a very energetic passionate person and love engaging the kids in activities and games. I am a college student with minimum hours of classes Monday through Thursday and would love to work out hours to help out!

I have been a nanny and babysat children throughout most of high school and college. I have 10 years of paid experience! I have a BS in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health. I have babysat and nannied for many special needs children and teens. I have also worked with children with profound food allergies, deafness, Autism, Down syndrome, and Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. I can sign and will gladly teach children who are not hearing impaired if you wish! I also have infant care experience and experience working with triplets and twins. I love children of all ages and enjoy their energy and simple enthusiasm for life. I love spending time outside in the rain or shine! I enjoy playing games, swimming and doing arts and crafts. Art is very important to me and I love to show children how to express themselves through sketching, sculpting with clay, or painting. Also, I understand how busy most parents can be, and sometimes even with the best of intentions, housework can sometimes begin to fall a bit behind. I never had a problem doing some cleaning and a few loads of laundry. I love to cook foreign dishes, and I also love to bake. I am mostly looking for a full-time/part-time job as a live-out nanny to a mature family- meaning mom and dad have steady jobs, and are not heading out the door to go hang out at the local bar at 11:30 a.m. I love working for secure families, people who truly love their children and are just trying to provide the best life possible for their little ones. I hope to hear from you soon! A few more things: * I much prefer working nanny jobs with a nanny contract. I have a few pre-made contracts that we can potentially use as a template. * I love large families; the more kids the merrier! * I love working for home-school families! I have worked for a couple of homeschooling families in the past and they were truly amazing! * I do not work for stay-at-home dads-once in a while if dad is sick or has errands, then of course, no problem! * Ask for my references. They are excellent!

Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I am 19 years old. I am currently a third-year undergraduate student at the University of Florida, majoring in History on the pre-law track. I am a Gainesville native and attended local Christian schools throughout my childhood. My childcare experience includes babysitting independently, as well as occasionally caring for my younger cousin, who is on the autism spectrum. Through these experiences, I have gained an appreciation for the importance of patience, attentiveness, and accommodating each child's individual needs. I enjoy spending time with children and would love the opportunity to work with families in my community. I am happy to assist with homework, prepare simple meals, organize activities, and help maintain established routines. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your children, and I look forward to getting to know your family!

Hello!! My name is Juliette but I go by the nickname Jj as it’s easy for kids to say. I can help with sleep training, potty training, weaning off of pacifiers or breastmilk, cleaning the home, cooking, bedtime, play time, nap time, and almost anything else that I’m needed for. I enjoy working with kids and I’m becoming a baby sitter bc I wish to work in child care and hopefully work in a proper daycare/nursery one day. Unfortunately I can not yet drive but I do have reliable transportation. I have done baby sitting jobs in various neighborhoods that were within walking distance for about 5 years while I was still in school. I have since graduated and I’m looking for a proper baby sitting job. I really do love working with kids, and pets will never be a problem. I hope my dream of childcare comes true, and I hope I am your best and first choice!!
