Both my brother and I used Natalia for babysitting while visiting family in Sarasota FL. Natalia was professional, communicative, and great with our kids. We'll certainly be reaching out again during future visits!

Arianna helped me out on short notice and was able to watch my daughter for four hours while I had to go to an appointment. I found Arianna to responsive, responsible and a genuinely nice and happy person. My 8 year old enjoyed her time with Arianna (and she’s rather picky about her sitters). I’d use Arianna again and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great sitter.

I have been a nanny/babysitter for over 20 years. I have tons of experience with children of all ages, even with multiples. I have been a live-in and live-out nanny in Florida and New York. I also have a lot of experience with newborns. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am a great swimmer, love arts and crafts, playing outdoors and helping with homework. I have 5 year old twins of my own. I just finished working for a family who have three children, the oldest of which has non-verbal autism. I also love to cook and have a clean driving record. I like to find families that I can sit for long term. I also enjoy sitting for vacationing families. I may also be available to do overnights on occasion. I have a resume and references available upon request.

My girls loved her and I so appreciated how tidy she was and the great lunch she prepared. She was very engaged with my girls playing with them and she was totally open to getting in the pool. I would have loved to have her for additional days and will definitely be getting in touch when we head back to Sarasota this summer.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bree! She has been an absolute blessing for our family and has formed such a special bond with my 3-year-old son. From the very first day, she made him feel comfortable, safe, and happy, which as a parent, means the world. She’s reliable, patient, and incredibly attentive to his needs and routines. Whether it’s playtime, snack time, or helping him wind down for bed, she handles everything with so much care and calm. I love how she engages him in creative play, reads to him, and encourages learning through fun. Every time she leaves, he’s already asking when she’ll be back! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my son is in such capable and loving hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and truly amazing with children, she’s the one.

We had a great experience with Alexa watching our kids ages 3, 7 and 10. She is fun, engaging and caring. We were very happy to find out that Alexa is studying to become a nurse and she knows what to do in case of an emergency. The communication was great throughout whole process. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter to other families and would happily use her help again.

Christina (Leaf) took on full nanny responsibilities for our 16 month twins for two weeks due to a gap in care before they started school. We wish would have found her earlier because the twins took to her so quickly. She was on time, patient, caring and in two short weeks taught the twins to be more independent and responsive. We strongly recommend her if you are looking for full time care.

Hi! My name is Yelenis (Yeli for short), and I’m an online college student who truly loves working with kids. I have years of hands-on childcare experience through helping care for my four nephews, who are now between 7 and 12 years old. I’ve been part of their lives since they were babies, which gave me a strong foundation in childcare, and I especially enjoy working with toddlers through school-age children. I’m very comfortable caring for multiple children at once (including twins) and helping with daily routines such as meals, playtime, homework help, after-school care, and bedtime routines. Being around kids has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m dependable, caring, and someone families can truly rely on. I’m currently looking for a babysitter or nanny position where I can build a real connection with a family and provide consistent, trustworthy care.

Brittany graciously came very last minute for us after our other contact wasn't available, with only a few hours notice and saved our anniversary date night! She took such great care of my son, and took him to a trampoline park for us. He returned with a huge glass of water in one hand and a slushie in the other hand. He was extra thirsty and she kept him well hydrated. I'm very thankful for her help and don't hire babysitters often but will definitely contact her again!
