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 :)

Hello I’m Wendy, I have worked 3 years for an Pensacola Christian Academy.

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

Hi Families! My name is Brittany, I am a mama of 3 children ages 5,4, and nearly 1! I am very passionate about motherhood and I am a working mama as well. I own a licensed and insured cleaning business so I get to set my own hours, and do what I love most; helping families keep their children safe, loved, and enjoy being children. I homeschool, and cook at home. I love interacting with children and helping them learn and develop new skills! I am very creative and your kiddos will never be bored! I am finishing up my pre requisites for nursing school, I have a lot of knowledge already as having to take care of special needs family members, and myself whilst I was pregnant and high risk. I understand the importance of finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Nothing means more to me than all children being able to be just that, children! I’m very communicative, and appreciate schedules to maintain. I look forward to talking with you!
