I am a retired RN of 30 years. I am easy going, loving, and easy to talk with. I only will consider part time work to help young families fill in gaps in their schedules and especially date nights. I am prompt and reliable. I am flexible with hours and days. I am usually available on last minute needs. I am medically capable in emergencies and i am fun and imaginative with play time with children and very patient and enjoy helping with school work. I prefer working evenings and nights. I am experienced with child CPR and PALS. I have been vaccinated and boostered. My car is new thus dependable and I am comfortable with your pets. I give your child undivided attention and am very caring as if they were my own. I have references upon request.

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.

Susan was incredible from start to finish! She showed up to our event and connected/engaged with all children in the house. Immediately, one of the children commented “Miss Susan is so nice”. The children and I felt very comfortable with Susan and will certainly reach out for another booking if we are in the area!!

My name is Ashley Boatwright, and I am a 25 year-old childcare professional originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a focus in Management from Georgia Southern University in 2023 before relocating to Florida. I have over 11 years of experience in babysitting, nannying, and working in quality-rated daycare centers, caring for children from infancy through age 11, including children on the spectrum. I am currently a nanny for three girls ages 3–9, a position I’ve held since the youngest was just one week old, as well as a nanny for a 9-month-old little boy whom I’ve cared for since he was 3 months old. My responsibilities include infant care, school drop-offs and pickups, managing extracurricular activities, meal preparation, household organization, learning support, and maintaining structured daily routines. My passion for childcare began in middle school through babysitting for family and friends. In high school, I enrolled in an early childhood education program and worked in a daycare setting, assisting lead teachers across all age groups from infants as young as 3 months to Pre-K. During college, I worked as a co-lead teacher in a quality-rated daycare center for a classroom of 1-2 year-olds while also nannying for a family with two school-aged children. I am dependable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I love building long-term relationships with families and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can thrive. As one of the families I currently work with is relocating, I am now looking to fill a part-time nanny position where I can continue supporting children and families in a meaningful and reliable way.

Ashley has been an incredible part of our family for the past year, caring for our son since he was a newborn. We are relocating out of state and are heartbroken to be saying goodbye. She is calm, nurturing, dependable, and exceptionally experienced with infants and toddlers. Her ability to comfort our son, establish routines, and consistently get him down for naps was invaluable. Ashley filled our son’s days with meaningful experiences—long walks, trips to libraries, museums, art galleries, and Selby Botanical Gardens. She helped foster his love of books, nature, and the arts, often reading 10–20 books with him in a single day. She also fully embraced our screen-free approach, always finding creative ways to keep him engaged. Our son absolutely adores Ashley, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

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.

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.
