Hi I am a retired dental hygienist after working 30 yrs in the same office. I have 4 kids and 8 grandkids. am available for week days and date nights and overnights. .I was working for a.vascular surgeon and neurologist taking care of there 18 mo old..started when she was 3 mo but grandma retired and wanted to watch the baby. I was watching a 3 yr.old little girl in Valrico 5 days a week ..started full time when she was 4 mo old but she is going to montessori full time so my job ended . I was working 4 days a week for a couple in Valrico taking care of a 2 yr old( I started when she was 3 mo) and 7 and 8 yr old. She is now enrolled in a Montessori school .l And I was working full time in Tampa watching a yr old but that ended because he is going to the same school as his brother.Previous to that I was working for 2 lawyers who have a 4 mo old and a 2.5 yr old. but they moved to Tallahasee. And I also worked for a couple in Plant City who have a 2.5 yr old son during the week. I am cpr certified and do not have a criminal background.. I love children and when I retired from the dental profession I knew I wanted day care to be my next profession.. I live in Lakeland but I don't mind driving 45 min to an hr away. I did it for 30 yrs and in the snow!! I have a 2012 Toyota prius and it's great on gas and I have a clean driving record. I devote my whole time to the child and children. Gina aka Norma Jean.

Alejandra F., Child Care in Bartow, FL 33830 with 4 years of paid experience

I’m a college graduate who’s willing to 2-40 mile drives to take care of the kids. I have experience with infants, special needs children, toddlers, and elementary-middle school children. I also cared for my younger brother from an infant up to eight years as my mother was a single mom and needed help. I have great skills with children and use a gentle approach when communicating. I understand leaving your children with someone who can keep them safe and be reliable is important so if more information regarding my experience or absolutely anything is needed, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to speaking :)

I recently booked Alejandra to babysit my kids last minute due to an event I had to attend. She quickly responded to messages on the site, and answered my many questions during the quick interview. Alejandra arrived on time and got my kids to feel comfortable with her very quickly. Updates were sent throug texts, and she even got my little one down to bed earlier than I anticipated. My oldest was very happy and said she would love to have Alejandra as a baby sitter again. Overall - 5 stars! Thank you, Alejandra!

Ignacia P., Child Care in Bartow, FL 33830 with 2 years of paid experience

I'm a college student who usually spent time taking care of my cousins' or aunts' and uncles' children. I've been babysitting since the age of 15 and have a good amount of experience with different kids of kids. I'm training to be CPR and First aid certified; however, I know basics if the child gets injured in any way. I'm able to cook simple meals, take them to parks, or just easily play with them in the home! I'm very patient and never push, I love making connections and want to provide a safe space for families!

I have never felt more comfortable or at ease leaving my children in someone else’s care than I did with Ignacia. She has such a genuine love for children, and it truly shows in everything she does. She would spend hours sitting on the floor, playing and engaging with my toddler with so much patience and kindness. She has the perfect balance of being gentle, loving, and nurturing while also knowing when to set boundaries and be firm when needed. I am genuinely heartbroken that she has moved away because finding someone as trustworthy, caring, and wonderful as Ignacia is incredibly rare. Any family would be so lucky to have her care for their children. I cannot recommend her enough!

We love having Ms. Jasmyne come babysit for us! Our 5 yr old son gets excited when we tell him she will be coming over. She is responsive through text, arrives early, asks GREAT and pertinent questions, and takes notes on our routines and the do's/don'ts for that evening which helps for future times. She often does more than we expect or ask, and we come home to a summary of the night's events. She demonstrates good judgement of when to make executive decisions versus reach out to us via text for clarification (if you are okay with being contacted). She's great with all our animals and has even brought them treats! I can't recommend her enough!

Fonique J., Child Care in Bartow, FL 33830 with 30 years of paid experience

Caring for others is something that I have done all of my life. I worked as a home health aide for over thirty years helping both the elderly and children in my role. This included in the home and clinic settings for those who were medically fragile, neurotypical and non-neurotypical individuals. Outside of three children of my own (four if you include my husband), I have cared for over one hundred individuals with about half of those being children. I have my first aide and CPR certification, I am patient, timely, cook, clean, run errands, change diapers, potty train, manage behaviors and is a strong communicator. I take pride in my craft and can ensure the safety and well-being of your child/children. Thank you.
