I’m a college student who’s willing to drive hour distances to take care of the kids. I have experience with infants, special needs children, toddlers, and elementary-middle school children. I also cared for my younger brother from an infant up to eight years as my mother was a single mom and needed help. I have great skills with children and use a gentle approach when communicating. I understand leaving your children with someone who can keep them safe is important so if more information regarding my experience or absolutely anything is needed, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to speaking :)

I recently booked Alejandra to babysit my kids last minute due to an event I had to attend. She quickly responded to messages on the site, and answered my many questions during the quick interview. Alejandra arrived on time and got my kids to feel comfortable with her very quickly. Updates were sent throug texts, and she even got my little one down to bed earlier than I anticipated. My oldest was very happy and said she would love to have Alejandra as a baby sitter again. Overall - 5 stars! Thank you, Alejandra!

Hi there! I’m Vanessa—most kids call me “Nessa.” I’m 26 years old and have a true passion for working with children of all ages. Whether it’s for a date night or regular care, I bring years of experience as a nanny and sitter through various childcare companies, as well as hands-on experience in a daycare setting. I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher for Polk County Schools. I began my studies in elementary education but soon realized I thrive most in smaller, more personal environments where I can provide individualized care, attention, and support. I’m currently working as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), where I have the privilege of supporting children with disabilities by focusing on behavioral goals and developmental progress in a compassionate and caring way. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and be a positive, nurturing part of their lives. Please feel free to message me with any questions or for references! 4074332598

I genuinely enjoy caring for children and have extensive experience with all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m confident in my ability to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment, and I tend to be a bit on the stricter side to ensure good behavior and routines. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority.

Hi! My name is Jenny. I recently moved from Seattle to Lake Wales and I’m excited to offer babysitting services to local families. I previously worked at The Goddard School, where I gained experience in a classroom setting caring for young children. I completed safety trainings including CPR and First Aid, and I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive care. I am especially comfortable working with preschool-aged children (ages 3–5). I enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported in a positive environment. I can assist with light housekeeping, simple meal prep, playtime activities, and bedtime routines. I am also comfortable around pets. I have my own transportation and am reliable and punctual. I look forward to supporting your family!
