I’m a college student who’s willing to drive hour distances to take care of the kids. I have experience with infants, special needs children, toddlers, and elementary-middle school children. I also cared for my younger brother from an infant up to eight years as my mother was a single mom and needed help. I have great skills with children and use a gentle approach when communicating. I understand leaving your children with someone who can keep them safe is important so if more information regarding my experience or absolutely anything is needed, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to speaking :)

Hi there! I’m Vanessa—most kids call me “Nessa.” I’m 26 years old and have a true passion for working with children of all ages. Whether it’s for a date night or regular care, I bring years of experience as a nanny and sitter through various childcare companies, as well as hands-on experience in a daycare setting. I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher for Polk County Schools. I began my studies in elementary education but soon realized I thrive most in smaller, more personal environments where I can provide individualized care, attention, and support. I’m currently working as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), where I have the privilege of supporting children with disabilities by focusing on behavioral goals and developmental progress in a compassionate and caring way. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and be a positive, nurturing part of their lives. Please feel free to message me with any questions or for references! 4074332598

Hello! I am UF graduate (Spring 2024) with a degree in Public Health and have recently relocated from Gainesville to Winter Haven. I have been babysitting for paid experience since 2020, with my most recent babysitting job being a ten-month-old boy this past summer. In addition, I have worked as a K-8th-grade mathematics tutor for various children through Mathnasium. Additionally, I worked in an infant cognition research lab for two years, practicing sensory play techniques to encourage development. I am also CPR certified and bilingual (English and Spanish), with some sign language experience. I am fully vaccinated and more than happy to coordinate around odd schedules!

Hi! My name is Islynn (I-Lynn) , and I’m a dedicated, trustworthy, and nurturing nanny with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve had the pleasure of working with multiple families on a recurring basis, especially for date nights and occasional care, which has helped me build strong relationships based on trust and consistency. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to prioritize and manage schedules effectively, ensuring that children stay on track with routines while still having plenty of time for fun, creativity, and play. Whether it’s bedtime, meals, schoolwork, or free time, I understand how to balance structure with warmth. More than anything, I genuinely love spending time with kids. I find joy in their curiosity, imagination, and energy, and I strive to create a safe and engaging environment where they can thrive. I take pride in being someone families can rely on, not just for dependable care, but for someone who treats their children with kindness, patience, and respect. If you’re looking for a nanny who is both responsible and genuinely passionate about what she does, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family’s needs.
