Emily G., Child Care in Alachua, FL 32615 with 8 years of paid experience

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!

Emily has been amazing with my 16 month old boy. From the initial conversation, meet and greet, to caring for my child she's been great. Emily has worked for us several times now and is always professional in her communication and prompt with responses. She was able to help us out with a last minute need which was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

Jj E., Child Care in Alachua, FL 32615 with 2 years of paid experience

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!!

Hello! My name is Mia, and I am currently a student at Santa Fe College studying Communication Sciences and Disorders with the goal of becoming a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist. Caring for children has always been a true passion of mine. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have served in my hometown’s children’s ministry for the past four years. Through these experiences, I have cared for children ranging from infants to 12 years old, including children with special needs. My approach to childcare is centered on patience, positivity, and, above all, keeping your children safe. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities such as reading, arts and crafts, playing indoors or outdoors, visiting the park or library, and helping with homework. Families I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to build trust with parents, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives families peace of mind while creating a fun, supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.
