Ora D., Child Care in Lake City, FL 32024 with 15 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, heard, and valued. Kids need consistency, patience, and someone who pays attention to them, not just supervises them. I like being that steady presence. Watching children learn something new, laugh, or gain confidence is rewarding. It is not just about “babysitting” to me. It is about building trust with both the child and the family. I work in education and currently serve as a Title I paraprofessional in a sixth grade academy. I support students academically and socially every day. I also have experience working with children in different age groups through school and family settings. Because of my background in education, I am comfortable managing behaviors, supporting homework, and creating structured routines when needed. I understand how to redirect respectfully and keep expectations clear. I have classroom management skills, strong communication skills, and experience supporting students with different learning needs. I am patient but firm when needed. I understand child development and how important emotional regulation and positive reinforcement are. I am trained to follow school safety procedures and maintain a safe environment. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, create engaging activities, and maintain routines. Families can expect reliability, maturity, and professionalism.

Erica S., Child Care in Lake City, FL 32024 with 6 years of paid experience

I have 6 years of experience and I'm CPR certified. I've worked with ages ranging from 1.5 months old all the way up to teenagers, so I'm comfortable with newborn routines, playtime, homework help, and everything in between. I'm very dependable, patient, and hands on. I truly enjoy being around kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I can help with daily routines, meal prep, light cleaning related to the kids, and keeping them engaged in fun activities. In my free time I love cooking and photography, so I'm always happy to get creative with meals or fun little activities! If you or someone you know is looking for reliable childcare, feel free to message me. I'd love to connect and can provide references if needed

Summer G., Child Care in Lake City, FL 32024 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! I am Summer. I am 20 years old, and recently graduated high school. I was born and raised in a small town in north central Florida. My family decided to move to Idaho recently so I came along. I have babysitting experience with ages 8 months-11 years. I am also CPR Certified. I am great with kids and love watching them. I always seem to be hanging out with the younger kids at parties and family get togethers, instead of the kids my age. I love talking to them, learning their interests, playing games, and getting to know them and their big personalities. I started babysitting for my family when I was around 8 years old. I took care of my younger brother when he was a baby and my cousins, sometimes 4 or 5 toddlers at a time. Family friends then reached out and I would babysit their kids too and I love it! I remember looking up to my babysitters and I hope to make the same good impact on the children I babysit. I’m excited to meet more families and create new relationships! Please reach out with anymore questions or information you may want to know!

I became a sitter 4 years ago at 27 for 3 kids then it became 5 kids watching the newborns start walking and learn to talk being able to be a part of all their milestones was the best part. Developed a close bond with all the kids the 2 older ones had disabilities which was challenging but helps you see things differently.
