Hello Parent! My name is Rachel, I am 28 and I have babysat children from the ages of newborn-13 years old. I have experience in taking care of newborns/infants, playing/interacting with children, teaching/tutoring, reading and having a joyful and loving time. I have a 6 year old myself and definitely understand the kind of love, care, attentiveness, honesty and patience you would want in a sitter. I went to school for lactation and I am a certified breastfeeding specialist (CBS), I do care so much about children and the love & attention that they require. I have my AA and am currently working towards my bachelors in social work and then a masters! I truly love spending time with children because they’re so creative, fun, and it’s always a beautiful experience seeing someone learn and explore in their own way. - I am available on the weekends: Friday night, Saturday & Sunday - I am fully vaccinated - I do have my own car and an extra car seat if needed - If the sitting job is done at my house, I have tonssss of toys like cars , coloring books and coloring/painting utensils, etc (smoke & pet free house)

I love kids and I have 4 years of experience taking care of an infant and a toddler. I have my CPR & First Aid Certifications, and I'm Bilingual English-Spanish, have great communications skills.

Hi! My name is Sabrina, and I’m so excited to meet and work with your family! I bring years of hands-on experience and a background in early childhood education. I’ve cared for children from newborn to school aged, but most recently I have valuable experience in a preschool setting where I’d supported children through structured play, learning activities, and daily routines. I also work as a playroom attendant, supervising groups of young children in a fun and safe environment. In addition to my practical experience, I’ve completed coursework in child development, which helps me better understand how to meet children’s unique needs at every stage. I also have extensive experience using American Sign Language, which I love incorporating into play and communication to support early language development in a fun and engaging way. Whether I’m planning age-appropriate activities, helping with developmental milestones, or simply being a steady and comforting presence, I always aim to create a safe, joyful, and supportive environment for the children and peace of mind for the parents. One of my favorite things about working with kids is the pure joy and laughter they bring into everyday life. A little bit about me personally—I’m a proud mom of three wonderful kids ranging in age from 6 to 13. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life, specifically in the Tampa Bay Area, and I love it here. Working with children and animals has always been a passion of mine. In my free time, I enjoy taking long car rides to unwind and spending quality time with my kids, especially when we’re out fishing together.

Hello, I'm Baleigh – a dedicated childcare professional with a background in early learning. I was preschool teaching for 2 years and from then I just fell in love with nannying and the personalization with teaching that nannying comes with. As a CPR and HIPAA certified individual, your child's safety is my top priority. With experience in potty training and working with children of various ages, I bring a wealth of knowledge to ensure their well-being. I'm passionate about incorporating early ASL signing into their routine and fostering a love for learning. As a retired college athlete, I thrive on keeping kids active and engaged. Additionally, my flexible schedule, coupled with online schooling, allows me to seamlessly adapt to your family's needs. I cherish the opportunity to not only babysit/nanny but also contribute to your household. Thank you for considering me!

Hi! My name is Alaina, i'm a 22-year-old graduate from the University of South Florida and I have 3 years of childcare experience; 2 years working for an after school/summer camp and 1 year of freelance babysitting (infants and school aged children) through care. com. I also am CPR/First Aid trained and have a reliable form of transportation. I previously worked for Hillsborough County as a camp counselor working with children from 5-9 years old, in groups of 15+ children at a time. Here I was responsible for helping with homework, planning and leading activities such as group games, group crafts and overseeing free play. I do my best to avoid screen time and encourage outdoor play. I'm more than willing to help with homework, light housework and meal prep! I love animals, anything crafty, and I'm passionate about providing a safe space for children to express themselves, encourage their imagination and have fun!! I look forward to speaking with you :)

I am the mother of two boys in their early 20s. I find great joy in caring for infants and children. I like to play and have fun. I am also open to doing additional work such as dishes, light house cleaning, laundry, etc. I am flexible, punctual and dependable. I started babysitting when I was 13 and had many regular babysitting jobs throughout middle and high school. During the years I worked in offices I would occasionally watch coworker's children for them. In 2000 I was a nanny for an infant and occasionally a 5-year-old, this was a 9–10-month position. I worked in the public school system for nine years. First in the kitchen and then as an ESE aide. I was the teacher's aide in the 4- and 3-year-old classes when I left the school system. I have been a full-time nanny/babysitter for the past 5 years for two families I am a big animal lover also... Can provide references upon request.

Hello everyone! My name is Morgan. My husband and I have recently relocated from PA to the Riverview/ Gibsonton area near Apollo beach! I have watched multiple children for various different families since I was 17. I consider myself to be very outgoing and I love children and animals. I’m pretty active and I enjoy doing arts and crafts along with outdoor activities. I am an avid reader and enjoy taking trips to the local library as well. Whether children are self sufficient or need a little more guidance throughout the day I feel that I can fit into any lifestyle that you want your children to pursue while In my care. If you need any other information from me before considering me for a position please feel free to reach out to me at any time!

I have always had a love for children even as a child you could find me trying to take care of some other child. It’s been passed on for generations in my family. I have been working in childcare for over ten years. I worked in large scale after school care, I also have worked in preschools, and currently I serve as a nanny. I chose to go back to nannying because I love the one on one relationship you get with the family and the child/children. I enjoy helping children learn and explore and find out new things daily. I have over 60 hours of DCF training. I am CPR certified. Overall I just have a passion for helping children succeed.

Looking for expert care for your precious one(s)? Well look no further! I'm the type if nanny who actually PLAYS with kids- not just watch them play. I have extensive experience with a wide range of ages, newborn and up... and absolutely Love what I do! Newborns and infants are given the most detailed care possible. Having attended college as an Early Ed/ Child Development major, I acquired a great deal of knowledge useful in my field as a child care provider. My 'nanny style' is above average in ethics, safety priorities, interaction, and of course FUN! I chose to major in education, because there is nothing more noble or important than guiding children in a positive way. Its by far the most gratifying job Ive ever had. I have VERY high standards, ethics and I do employ discipline though NEVER physical or negative. I would actually consider it 'positive redirection' or correction really. I know a good bit of psychology and it comes in handy when working with kids, but more importantly -I care- and thats what I would want from my sitter. I'm fond of creative activities that incorporate learning. I have given music lessons, with voice instruction and piano. I also like to do a great deal of interactive activities that are NOT T.V. or videogame related, though I do like to play some videogames myself (in moderation). I goto the park with my daughter and bring a bucket of chalk for us. We end up making a huge mural with all the kids-while all the other moms are texting lol. I'm proof that its possible to be responsible, intelligent, able to discipline when necessary, yet able to relate to kids of all ages. I'm punctual, communication oriented, ENERGETIC, very caring, emotionally available, mentally stable and trustworthy. As a mom, I understand how IMPORTANT it is to find quality care for your children. I invest myself and my heart into the kids I work with-infants to teens. They all need and deserve equal amounts of heart from their caregiver. In short, I venture to be the kind of nanny I would want for my child.

I am a mother to 3 children ages 11, 14 and 16. My oldest son has Autism Spectrum Disorder with a language impairment. I have worked with children since I was a teenager. I loved staying at home with my children when they were little and would like to continue to work with babies and children.
