In my experience I have cared for twins, triplets and children with/without special needs. My background includes working in-home, child care center, school and hospital care. Creative play, art, reading and outdoor activities are some of the things I enjoy best working with children. I have a bachelors degree in early childhood . Being a sitter/nanny is one of the most rewarding opportunities. In my work I provide care, nurture, structure and guidance as we grow together!

Catherine H., Child Care in Saint James City, FL 33956 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Catherine. I have been baby sitting for family and friends for about 6 years. I just recently moved back! When I was living in the area I was part of a program by the name of teen trendsetters where those who volunteered would help study, read to & work on homework with the students. I've been a regular baby sitter for five different families but now that I've moved back i'd love to help out a local caring family in my area. I've always had a love for being around and caring for kids which is why I'm now a pre-med student studying to become a pediatrician. Im extremely organized, dependable and always make it a priority to come on time. I have NB and child care experience. I’m always available for date nights as well! & have experience with bed time routines as well as meal preparations Hope to hear back from you. CPR, First aid & AED Willing to help ASAP

Catherine was a wonderful and kind babysitter for my young son (6). She was flexible with my scheduling and timely in her arrival. My son is very active and “busy” and she kept him well-entertained for the days I had requested. One day was an 8-9 hour stretch and she was amazing! My son really enjoyed spending time with her and we will be using her babysitting services again for sure. Thank you!

Khiarra helped care for my daughter when she was around Pre-k age. She helped with pick ups , drops offs, playground or other activities, as well as around the house items. She was always very kind and respectful and my daughter enjoyed spending time with her . She was a big help to us and we appreciated her time.

Gina C., Child Care in Saint James City, FL 33956 with 45 years of paid experience

Hello, I am from New York and moved to Florida a year and a half ago. I am a retired Nursery School Director. My love of children started when I began babysitting when I was 12 years old. I continued babysitting until I graduated college. I was an elementary school teacher for six years. I left teaching to be a stay at home mom and raised two boys. When my sons were teenagers, I returned to education part time and was a two year old head teacher at a church nursery school. I loved the children, the program, the other teachers, and I had a special connection with the parents. I did that for five years. I unfortunately had to leave the school to work and help my husband in his office. A few years later I was asked if I would be the director of the school. Since it was a morning program, I was able to work at the school and at the office . I held that position until I retired. I am still friendly with my staff and some of my former parents and students. At this point in my life, I would like to babysit part time. I love kids, pets, and pickle ball!

Gina is awesome! My four year olds laugh so hard when with her and they love going on nature walks and putting on plays with Miss Gina. She is very active and engaged and I feel very confident leaving the house when Gina is with my children.

Kim H., Child Care in Saint James City, FL 33956 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi, My name is Kim.  I have wonderful kids that are 21 and 18 and they are very independent. I have many other bonus children that I’ve spent time with on the basketball court, on the football field, or at Marching Band or Girl Scout events. I have a warm and nurturing personality. I’m able to draw on my many years of child rearing experience when when a toddler is teething, or if a child needs re-direction or just listen and support when they are struggling. Before COVID-19 hit, I was doing vacation babysitting/nannying/mother's helper duties for families that visit Sanibel. I also work part time as a Caregiver for a 78 year old stroke survivor. I will be a FT student this fall, and will transfer to FGCU this summer to work towards my BA in Special Education. Several families use my support when they come to town at holidays or their regular vacation to Florida.  Other families get my number from the concierge at the resort they are staying at while in Florida.   I've babysat at weddings, receptions, and hotel rooms. I'm well versed in being an extra pair of eyes and ears at the beach. It's so important for parents to get alone time to relax and recharge. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I’ve been a volunteer for the School District for the past 5 years. I’ve helped out with the Band at South Fort Myers HS in many different roles.        I like playing outside, showing the kids the games from my childhood.  My house is where where the kids in the neighborhood tended to gravitate.  I like to read, paint and color (I can draw a pretty decent Elmo.) Please contact me if you're interested.   Thanks! Kim

Kim was fantastic with my 8-month old daughter. She was prompt, communicated well, and even gave me some tips on what to do when visiting the area. I would definitely hire her again.

Beverly D., Child Care in Saint James City, FL 33956 with 10 years of paid experience

I am a mom of 2 grown sons, and " mom-mom" to Zoey and Meeko. I love Zoey and Meeko, but they each have 4 legs and wagging tails, and they just don't sit still when I want to read to them, or take them to the movies. I decided to reach out to moms and dads that would appreciate the love and fun that I can give to their kids. I have completed the Heartsaver, First Aid, CPR, AED course given by the American Heart Association, so your children are safe with me. Formerly, Bubbles the Clown, you may come home to faces painted, musical squares, or us having quiet time after a full day of fun. Rather than waiting on my kids to make me a grandma, I figured I have so much love to give... I better start now. I am newly retired and looking for part-time or date nights. Thank you in advance for considering me.

Ashley D., Child Care in Saint James City, FL 33956 with 13 years of paid experience

I have over 19 years experience working as a sitter/nanny of all ages but mostly newborn to toddlers. I have experience with twins too. I’m patient and reliable. I love to have fun so playing along with kids is just in my nature. When I lived in Florida I worked with a family I was with for 9 years. I miss them all the time but I still spend time with them when I make trips to see my family there. I have experience with driving kids, baby sign, potty training, some sleep training, meltdowns, first aid/cpr, motor skill building activities,etc. I often develop activities based on the unique child. For example, I’ll do research and setup a lesson for the day/week. I have experience with special needs kids with OCD, Autism, ADHD, Down syndrome etc.
