Sittercity helps Fort Myers families find the best child care providers

Hi my name is Victoria and I am a 21 year old college nursing student at the University of Florida! I am more frequently in Gainesville for school, but I am also located in Fort Myers as well! I absolutely love children, caring for them and teaching them new things! Over the past I have cared for mainly toddlers, I have also worked with pre-teens, but I am open to work with children of any age! I love cooking, cleaning, drawing/ crafts, working out, and especially children and animals. My experience with children comes from watching my nieces and nephews as well as our family friends children. When working with children, my main focus is not just to watch and take care them. I want your children to feel safe, loved for, cared for, and I want them to learn their own strengths and weaknesses. I am someone who is always open to trying new foods, environments, games, and crafts. I want children to grow to be the best versions of themselves, and if I can be apart of that, that is something that gives me so much joy!

I have over 19 years experience working as a sitter/nanny of all ages but mostly newborn to toddlers. I have experience with twins too. I’m patient and reliable. I love to have fun so playing along with kids is just in my nature. When I lived in Florida I worked with a family I was with for 9 years. I miss them all the time but I still spend time with them when I make trips to see my family there. I have experience with driving kids, baby sign, potty training, some sleep training, meltdowns, first aid/cpr, motor skill building activities,etc. I often develop activities based on the unique child. For example, I’ll do research and setup a lesson for the day/week. I have experience with special needs kids with OCD, Autism, ADHD, Down syndrome etc.

I've cared for many children pretty much all my life from infants to special needs children and so on. I love their creativity and playfulness. I worked in Maternity for many years and also worked in daycare.

Hi!! I’m Izabel, and I am an incoming freshman in college this fall (I leave end of August)! I have been babysitting over the summer to help save up money. I am very flexible with my times/days, i’m CPR certified, and I have a valid drivers license and a crystal clean background! I have babysitting experience with ages up to 13, but I love and am open to working with kids of all ages. In addition to babysitting, l've coached young gymnasts at my local gym and I volunteer for Camp Shriver (a program connected to children’s special olympics) in the summers. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children in a variety of settings. Also, I am experienced and comfortable babysitting multiple kids at once. When I babysit I love to play games, go outside, bake, watch movies, and just have a fun time getting to know the kids I’m with. I really enjoy spending time with kids and I'm known for being reliable, patient, fun, and trustworthy!!

I have worked for Daycares and schools in the past. I love children. I am currently in college my major is neonatal pediatrics. I would love to be apart of helping your child/children grow! I am willing to pick up and drop off. Also more than willing to help with homework. I am a mother of two so I do prefer to babysit out of my home. But that can be discussed. I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great day 😊 (CPR Certified) (CNA Certified)

Hi! My name is Jada and I am a recent graduate from UCF, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Leadership. I absolutely love children and have spent two summers being a camp counselor/lifeguard at the YMCA Camp Winona in DeLeon Springs, FL. This is where I received my CPR, AED, and First Aid certifications. Some standout facts about me are that I am a vegan, only 4'11, and have 3 younger siblings whom I helped care for growing up. I hope to become a civil attorney, but in the meantime am helping teach English in Spain for 8 months out of the year. I come from a family of all teachers and so education is something that has been highly instilled as a top priority throughout my life. (Fun fact: I have actually already taken two different parenting classes.) Meanwhile, in my free time, I enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and swimming. I was born and raised in South Florida and so have been doing these activities since I was little. I also love to read (mostly romance/fantasy), volunteer at the Orange County Animal Shelter regularly, and travel. I have received my Covid-19 vaccination with the booster but am still taking the proper safety precautions for those around me with compromised immunity. Looking forward to hearing from you soon and have a blessed day!

I am a mom of 2 grown sons, and " mom-mom" to Zoey and Meeko. I love Zoey and Meeko, but they each have 4 legs and wagging tails, and they just don't sit still when I want to read to them, or take them to the movies. I decided to reach out to moms and dads that would appreciate the love and fun that I can give to their kids. I have completed the Heartsaver, First Aid, CPR, AED course given by the American Heart Association, so your children are safe with me. Formerly, Bubbles the Clown, you may come home to faces painted, musical squares, or us having quiet time after a full day of fun. Rather than waiting on my kids to make me a grandma, I figured I have so much love to give... I better start now. I am newly retired and looking for part-time or date nights. Thank you in advance for considering me.

I've babysit several families before. I had one family they had 3 kids, a family that has 2 kids. I had those 2 families as a regular babysitter. I babysat a few families from the preschool I used to work at as well.

I am a 20 year old college student (almost 21) who absolutely loves children! I am currently earning my bachelors degree for elementary education and I am also working for the county as an extended day counselor. Along with that, I started substitute teaching quite recently and am very familiar with normal childcare procedure. I started babysitting on the side when I was 15 to make some money since I wasn't old enough to get a real job yet and ended up loving it. I started babysitting for family friends and then soon started to extend my services to my neighborhood. I am very good with little ones although I have tons of experience with older children as well! I have been certified in CPR since 2018, and have since gotten renewed as well. I also have my First Aid Certification and lots of references!
