We’ve been working with Rane for a couple of months now and she’s been fantastic! Our daughter adores her (as does our pup). She’s friendly and playful with our kiddo and reliable and communicative with us. We plan to keep her as long as she’ll have us—definitely recommend!

We just hired Krissy for our 1.5 year old girl as well as an expected newborn coming within the next couple of months! She’s super friendly and sweet to my daughter, and she is willing to learn her routine. I can’t wait to continue working with her and having her a part of the family :) She is also very reliable and quick to respond to my messages. She showed up on time each time we agreed to meet. Would definitely recommend
Yildania M.
- 5 years paid experience
- 10 miles
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.

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.

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 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! :)

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!
