Find experienced child care providers in Lakeland, FL

With five years of professional, paid babysitting experience and a lifetime of helping raise my two younger siblings, childcare is truly my passion. As a recent high school graduate with high honors who aspires to be a teacher, I love creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where kids can thrive. I am fully CPR certified, exceptionally reliable, and can easily provide excellent references upon request. When I am not babysitting, I work at the local movie theater, which comes with a fantastic bonus: while I'm babysitting, I can take your kids to the movies completely for free! I love connecting with families and bringing positive energy, patience, and structure into the home. I look forward to giving your children a fun, safe, and memorable experience while giving you total peace of mind.

Hi, I’m Erika! I’ve been babysitting for more than 4 years, I’m CPR/AED & first aid certified and have completed my early childhood development certification with DCF. I’m comfortable cooking, helping with chores and homework. During high school I took medical classes and early childhood. I’ve learned how to make age appropriate lessons for children through my DCF certification, so I’m familiar with learning activities. Outside of babysitting I pet sit so I’m comfortable around animals! A few things about myself, I enjoy crafting/scrapbooking, going to the beach or walking the lake, baking/cooking, shopping and traveling! Some of my favorite activities to do with the kids I babysit are going to the park, reading, crafts and creative play. Hoping to meet you and your family soon!

I came to this wonderful country in 2014 with many dreams and the desire to build a new life filled with opportunities. Since then, I have had the privilege of working in schools throughout my entire journey here, dedicating my time to caring for and supporting young children. I began my career at Trinity School, and later continued my professional journey at The Nest School, where I have gained valuable experience working with young children and being part of their early learning and development. I am a warm, patient, responsible, and caring person. I believe that children learn best when they feel safe, loved, respected, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I especially enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through art, crafts, gardening, and creative activities. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I enjoy sharing language and culture with children in a natural and positive way. After many years working in schools, I continue to feel that caring for children is more than a job—it is an opportunity to make a positive difference in their lives. I would love to bring my experience, creativity, patience, and genuine love for children to a family that is looking for someone they can trust and feel comfortable with.
