When it comes to prior experience, I have extensive history in this role as I have been babysitting / nannying for about 20 years. I have cared for children ages newborn to 17 years old.

I also happy to discuss me helping with housework / chores around the house. I am experienced with food allergies as I have my own and understand the severity. I am also understanding of following different diets as I am gluten free and vegan for 8+ years. I also have my own reliable car. Pets are also not a problem, and I am very comfortable with them.

Overdue review! Jillian was great for our family vacation to St. Pete! Very communicative and offered a FaceTime ahead of time which made us feel super comfortable. She also was very transparent about her fees as well as what time she would arrive and expect to leave. Our 8 month old had no problem with her.

Haley was fantastic with our kids and they absolutely loved her. I would leave her more stars if I could. She is very communicative and punctual. She was able to work with our crazy schedule which was such a stress reliever. We will definitely be using her services again. My kids keep asking when she's coming back since they had such a good time with her.

We would still be using her services if it wasn’t for moving out of state. Andrea was especially great with our son who is on the autism spectrum. She didn’t get rattled by him and was one of the only sitters we had who could keep his attention. I also found she was great at keeping my kiddos active and burning energy so they slept well. I really miss her and wish she was up where we live now.

Jeannette B., Child Care in Odessa, FL 33556 with 18 years of paid experience

My name is Jeanne Baloy. I have been a childcare provider for over 18 years, and I enjoy caring for children and have experience with newborn to teens. I like playing games with the kids such as imaginary games and learning games. I enjoy engaging with the kids with arts and crafts, puzzles and stories. I also provide homework help, preparing meals, and light housekeeping. With smaller children, I enjoy preparing their bottles, feeding, bathing, diapering, tummy-time, and story-time. My number one priority with children is their contentment and safety. I have experience with sick children, premature infants, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and grade-school age to teens. I have worked as an on-call Nanny, so I have a variety of experience with different ages as well as different situations. I have also worked with families as a permanent Nanny and I enjoyed that the most, because I am able to bond more with the child, something I really enjoy. I am neat, trustworthy, dependable, conscientious and nurturing. I also have skills in organization, in following a schedule and in communicating well. I think I am a good role model for kids. All these things are important to me. I have 48 Credit Hours in higher education and am Certified in child/infant/adult CPR and First Aid. I have reliable transportation and excellent references. Personally, I enjoy pets, being outdoors, going to the beach and spending time with family and friends. Thanks for your consideration.

Jeanne is a dream. I needed someone on short notice and prayed Jeanne would just keep my granddaughter safe while I was out. What happened was my granddaughter loved Jeanne from the moment they met. She is so happy every time she sees Jeanne and is in a great, happy mood when I return home. Jeanne is dependable, wonderful with babies, kind, and loving. I can't wait to have her back as often as possible. Do not hesitate to work with Jeanne.

Bridget M., Child Care in Odessa, FL 33556 with 10 years of paid experience

I am a mother and grandmother who loves caring for children of all ages. I am known to be reliable and kind. I am a good communicator and listener. I don’t mind helping with light housework, prepping meals or running errands when needed. I can help with homework and reading skills. I like to know what parents want and expect so that I can help keep the child on track with their routine if needed. I can also help with older independent kids who need very little guidance. I love being with kids of all ages and try to teach kindness and respect through example. I also know how to be firm when necessary. I will play with and engage your child in age appropriate activities. I have my own car, am fine with well behaved pets and do not smoke. I do have a background check and local references too!

Bridget is a great nanny! I was so happy to have found her to watch my two children, one a newborn and the other a toddler. She made me feel at ease with leaving my kids with her, which is a very big deal! I trust her to care for my children as if they are her own. She is also always on time which I find important. She loves playing with the kids, and also teaching them while doing so. She is a very smart and well-rounded person. I would definitely recommend her!

Leya W., Child Care in Odessa, FL 33556 with 8 years of paid experience

I have been babysitting regularly with kids since I was 10 - needless to say, I’ve seen it all. I’ve been volunteering with kids since middle school as well and truly find so much fulfillment in pouring in to the next generation. I am currently in school working towards becoming a trauma therapist for kids! I work with all ages fairly regularly, so I do incredibly well babysitting for families with kids of all different ages. I am exceptionally talented at working with children who have behavioural issues as well! Being fully online for school, I'm able to be incredibly flexible which parents love about me! I also am willing to work very late (12 a.m. - 3 a.m.) and do overnights as well. For a full rundown of my work rates, please reach out! Feel free to contact me for more information or even schedule a call :)

Hi! My name is Tia, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys working with children. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I am patient, attentive, organized, and great at keeping children entertained through fun activities, games, and creative play. I have previous experience working with children through my time as a YMCA Kid Zone Attendant, where I helped supervise and interact with children of different ages. I also have experience with pet sitting and dog walking, which has helped me become even more responsible, dependable, and attentive to the needs of others. I am comfortable helping with playtime, preparing simple meals and snacks, keeping play areas tidy, and following parents' routines and instructions. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always strive to provide reliable and trustworthy care. I am currently a college student at Hillsborough Community College, working toward my career goals in the healthcare field. I am always eager to learn, build experience, and provide families with the best care possible. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust!

Hi! I am a nurturing and dedicated nanny of over six years who is very passionate about working with children. I have worked with all ages including infants and Im very comfortable with developmental teaching and play. I’m certified in first aid and CPR and have a background in childhood education and communication. My goal is to create a strong connection and trust with not just the children that I nanny but the parents too. I am available to help your family in any way you need including cooking, cleaning, traveling, school drop off and pick up, at home education, and pet care. I would love to be that extra helping hand for you by caring for your children and home with the utmost respect, love, and care. I also believe that I can provide a special outlook on childcare as I grew up with a nanny myself and understand more than most what an important and vital role they can play in a child’s life. I would prefer a long-term position and my schedule is very flexible so I can work with whatever hours you would need. I have my own vehicle and can provide multiple references, driving record, and background check upon request. Please reach out with any questions and to learn more!
