I've been enjoying child care full time for the last 14 years. During this time I have cared for children ranging in age from 6 weeks-14 years old. Some on a full time basis, some part time or as needed for work/play, Date Nights and some overnights, as well. I'm an active caregiver in that I enjoy taking my kids on outings to places like the library for Story Time, the park for educational programs, nature walks, playground, community centers for open play, museums, play dates and more. These activities are essential to broadening their social skills and providing lots of interactive fun. I read a lot to my kids, do crafts and go on neighborhood or backyard adventures. Most of all I provide them with lots of love and care to keep them safe and happy.

I’m an artist with 20+ years of childcare experience, including a decade as a nanny in New York City (where I graduated from Columbia University). Since moving to the South, I enjoy meeting new families and learning how I can best support kids’ confidence, curiosity, and creativity as a sitter. I love spending time with kids outside (scootering, critter observing, sprinkler hopping!), making things (painting, sewing, baking!), reading books, and practicing new skills (cutting with scissors, phonics!) I have experience with kids on the spectrum, epi-pens, infants, and twins. I strive for clear communication and being a nurturing, peaceful presence in the home. Open to overnights and travel sitting as needed.

I'm a Registered Dental Assistant. I enjoy being able to work with younger children and being able to provide helpful care and teaching them educational lessons such as the alphabet, numbers, and being involved in fun activities! My previous experience working with younger children was at a daycare center as a Teachers Assistant with toodlers. My duties that I provided were reviewing materials and lessons with the children, teach proper behavior and rules that needed to be followed in the classrooms, keeping track of attendance, and interacting and being involved with the children. I am First Aid/CPR certified!

Hi parents! My name is Mereema, and I’m a dedicated, energetic, and compassionate caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages.

I truly love what I do and strive to create a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, handling everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and developmental activities.

Thanks for reviewing my profile! There's nothing I would rather do than be with infants, toddlers & children. I provide whatever each child needs - comfort and cuddling, down-on-the-floor game playing, or, athletic, artistic and intellectual activities. With experience as both a pre-school teacher and mother of three remarkable daughters, I respect & adore children of all ages, using patience, kindness, redirection and humor to bring out the best in them (and in myself!). I have a proven ability to swiftly form trusting bonds with children & I consider caring for their well-being to be one of humankind's most important responsibilities. I am a founding board member of the Golisano Children's Museum in Naples, FL, where I just relocated from after 35 years! I hold a BA degree in Literature & my interests include history, jazz, nutrition, biking, art, & photography. Seeking short term, occasional, newborn support, one-time, special event, sick care & emergency. $25/hr.

Hi Everyone, I am a reliable and hard working 29 year old woman. I am currently CPR and First Aid, Swim Instructor, Sleep Training and Child Passenger Safety Technician certified. I began babysitting when I was 15 and continued ever since. I have facilitated safety talks and conversations in large focus groups on Early Childhood Education and pride myself on my accumulated knowledge. I have volunteered in two preschools. I have an AAS in Early Childhood Education and I get my BA degree in psychology this May! Some areas of research I’ve participated in during my BA include synaptic transmission, child development, anxiety disorders in the pediatric population and screen time effects on child development. I believe that children bring joy, courage and purpose to everything they do. I have several cousins ranging in age from two to twelve and they keep me on my toes when I do see them. I have assisted in caring for one of them when he was a newborn and I cared for our family friend's child at two days old and held her in the hospital. If you want someone that will fight for and advocate for your children like a mother would, I am the one. I enjoy “type C” environments. I find they’re the perfect balance and right fit. I owned a Mutt (some golden retriever and some cattle dog) for 19 years. She loved playing fetch only when I threw a toy for her to keep and then I tricked her to give it back by throwing an additional toy. She was the best. I owned a tuxedo cat who was our family friend’s and she loved to sit by us on her terms. I presently have a cat who is 10 years old and very lazy. She is a Ragdoll. Animals: No exotic animals. Wishing you the best, Hannah Scott
