Find experienced child care providers in Gainesville, FL

Hello and thanks for viewing my profile! I absolutely adore children and always have. My experience with babysitting consists of newborns to roughly 13 years old. Currently pursuing a nursing degree, I’m concentrating on psychiatric and rehabilitation because I’m curious about the mind but also passionate about health & wellness. In my free time, I spend time with my animals or love to decorate houses in the Sims. I am BLS certified for adults and children, as well as dogs and cats. I became certified to administer medication appropriately in 2021 and also took a CNA course. I have reliable transportation. Please send me a message if you think I would fit well with your family. Thanks! <3 Ps. Not vaccinated for Covid, don’t mind wearing a mask.

I have been a nanny and babysat children throughout most of high school and college. I have 10 years of paid experience! I have a BS in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health. I have babysat and nannied for many special needs children and teens. I have also worked with children with profound food allergies, deafness, Autism, Down syndrome, and Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. I can sign and will gladly teach children who are not hearing impaired if you wish! I also have infant care experience and experience working with triplets and twins. I love children of all ages and enjoy their energy and simple enthusiasm for life. I love spending time outside in the rain or shine! I enjoy playing games, swimming and doing arts and crafts. Art is very important to me and I love to show children how to express themselves through sketching, sculpting with clay, or painting. Also, I understand how busy most parents can be, and sometimes even with the best of intentions, housework can sometimes begin to fall a bit behind. I never had a problem doing some cleaning and a few loads of laundry. I love to cook foreign dishes, and I also love to bake. I am mostly looking for a full-time/part-time job as a live-out nanny to a mature family- meaning mom and dad have steady jobs, and are not heading out the door to go hang out at the local bar at 11:30 a.m. I love working for secure families, people who truly love their children and are just trying to provide the best life possible for their little ones. I hope to hear from you soon! A few more things: * I much prefer working nanny jobs with a nanny contract. I have a few pre-made contracts that we can potentially use as a template. * I love large families; the more kids the merrier! * I love working for home-school families! I have worked for a couple of homeschooling families in the past and they were truly amazing! * I do not work for stay-at-home dads-once in a while if dad is sick or has errands, then of course, no problem! * Ask for my references. They are excellent!

Hi, my name is Cali and I am a currently senior at the University of Florida. I have had experience working with children of several different ages as a camp counselor at local organizations in Gainesville. I enjoy all activities, indoors or outdoors. I love arts and crafts and playing games. I love children of all ages and only hope to create a safe and fun environment while they are in my care.

Hi there! I’m a 4th-year medical student with some extra time in the coming months, and I’d love to spend it helping families who need an extra hand. I’m currently applying to residency to become a double-certified pediatrician and internist, so being around kids is really the best part of my day. I have over two years of babysitting experience from before medical school, and throughout my clinical rotations, I’ve worked closely with children of all ages. I’m CPR-certified through my medical training, comfortable with everything from playtime to bedtime, and kids usually decide pretty quickly that we’re going to be great friends. I’ve also tutored math and other subjects, so I’m happy to help with homework. And if meals are needed, I’m a capable cook (with a small additional fee for the extra work). I’d love the chance to support your family and bring a little fun, calm, and reliability to your routine!

I have been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I was actually an only child and always wanted a little sibling to care for lol but nonetheless, my mom had friends with younger kids and would offer to babysit which turned in to me babysitting them. In high school, I would babysit but it was not paid which is why I can’t claim any years paid. It was all volunteered as I would help babysit foster children. I helped watch children as young as an infant (1 week old at the time) to 13 years old. I also participated in a teaching scholarship program in undergrad that was an enriching experience as well as volunteered in elementary classrooms and worked as a substitute teacher prior to moving. Taking care of children is a huge passion of mine, and I hope to work with this population after becoming a Licensed MFT. I am currently attending UF’s MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) program so my availability depends on my class schedule. I was also CPR and First Aid certified for 6 years (I have renewed it twice) and just lost my certifications as they expired two weeks ago! I will be renewing them shortly :)

Hi! My name is Jocelyn, and I am an undergraduate senior at the University of Florida. Working with children has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it truly is my passion. I have seven years of experience caring for children, including four years of paid experience, and I currently work as a pediatric medical assistant. In this position, I interact daily with children from birth to 19 years old, which has strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, attentive, and safe care. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children grow and learn. I strive to create a positive, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel safe and encouraged to be themselves. I spent three years as a summer camp counselor working with children ages 4–13 from diverse backgrounds. This experience taught me how to manage groups, resolve conflicts, plan engaging activities, and adapt to different personalities and needs. I have been CPR and First Aid certified for about six years now! Safety is always my top priority. I am patient, creative, and dependable, with strong communication and conflict-resolution skills. I am comfortable helping with homework, keeping children engaged in activities, and maintaining a clean and organized environment. Additionally, I plan to attend medical school to become a pediatric oncologist, which reflects my long-term dedication to working with and advocating for children.
