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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi there! I'm Taylor. I'm a college graduate with a passion for learning and teaching - especially with young minds! I have a Psychology degree with a focus in child and adolescent psych. I love the outdoors and would love to get your kiddo some fresh air, and maybe play out some of that energy! I started babysitting and nannying fifteen years ago, and I'm the proud sister of three younger brothers who have been a joy to help raise. I am comfortable with housekeeping, petsitting, and have reliable transportation. I am Pediatric and Adult CPR and First Aid certified by the Red Cross. I'd love to connect with families looking for occasional or consistent care and learn how I can best be an asset for your little one. I look forward to hearing from you! ***Please note: I am not able to care for sick children at this time. I often work with several families throughout the week and am unwilling to bring germs to other children or have to cancel on families due to getting sick. Thank you for your understanding and transparency.***

Taylor helped us on a weekly basis and then for occasional sitting needs for our baby and toddler. She was always reliable and very flexible. Our girls responded very well to her and loved their time with her!

Hello! My name is Yildania Martinez, and I'm 23 years old from the Dominican Republic. I have a strong passion for childcare and a love for cooking, which I enjoy bringing into my nanny roles. My experience with children includes one year in Tampa, where I cared for three children, including one with autism. Following that, I spent three months in Colorado looking after another wonderful group of three children. Additionally, I have experience working with children back in the Dominican Republic, where I’m also certified in CPR, along with a certification in Florida. I’m experienced in caring for infants from as young as three months and am fully dedicated to providing a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’d love the opportunity to bring my skills and warmth to your family!

Yildania is a chill, professional, and attentive babysitter whom I had the pleasure of first meeting in December 2025, to care for my 3 year old son, while I worked from home on Saturdays. My son took to her instantly and Yildania masterfully navigated the long 10 hour shifts with ease, keeping my son engaged and quiet so I could focus on my work. Yildania's background in childcare shows as she always kept me updated on what activities they did via text message and pictures and I had no concerns about my son's care while she was around. Yildania was truly becoming family (my son still asks about her to this day) and I was saddened to learn she was moving away, which is why I couldn't keep her longer. Any family would be lucky to have her as she clearly adores children and is extremely patient with them (even the challenging energetic ones like mine). If she ever moved back this way, id hope she was available to come back to care for my son, in a heartbeat. I whole heartly recommend her for any nanny/baby sitter position and wish her the best in all she does.

After raising my daughter, I started babysitting children from infants to 14 for the last 11 years.I have worked with over 14 families. I have recently moved here to Florida in January from NY, so my daughter could attend medical school and live at home with her father and I. I live in Wesley Chapel . I had to leave a few of my families which made me very sad, I had great relationships with all of them. I’m looking forward to meeting new families here in Florida. I enjoy children of all ages and have a special spot for littles ones. I enjoy playing , teaching and caring for children. I am a reliable, responsible, trustworthy and loving person. My responsibilities included, dressing, preparing meals, snacks, laundry, dishes, tidying up after children, playing , reading , walks, playground, library, swimming ( I was a lifeguard), driving them to school and activities, and errands.I am a big animal lover.

We had never left our 16 month old with anyone other than family until we hired Corrine & we had a great experience! I’m very grateful that she did so well with our daughter and was helpful and responsive every time I would text or call. Definitely recommend her! :)

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 :)

Jordan has been great with our son, Logan for a few years now. She started sitting for him when he was a toddler and she was in middle school. He just started middle School and just spent the summer shopping with her before she left for school in Tampa. We love and miss her!
