Melissa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m 34 years old and have over 12 years of experience working in childcare. I started my career working in daycare centers, and I currently work for Polk County Public Schools as a Pre-K teacher. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants and up. I am CPR certified and truly enjoy helping children learn and grow. As a mother of two girls myself, I understand the importance of creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for children. I do live in Lakeland, FL but I travel to Miami, FL very often so I’m willing to work over there as well.

You can count on me to follow your household rules and preferred communication methods, providing regular updates on your child's day. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games.

Jayda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have worked as a nanny, babysitter, daycare worker, summer camp counselor, and swimming instructor for children under the age of 14. At the daycare I worked as a floater and helped in all classrooms (ages 4 and below). However my favorite classroom to help in was the infant room. I also have nannying experience with older teenagers (12 - 16). I have been CPR certified in the past and am willing to get recertified. I used to be a lifeguard so I can teach your child how to swim. I can cook, clean, do laundry, and organize well. I love animals! I have had both dogs and cats in the past. I do not have experience with other kinds of pets but I am always willing to learn. I do not mind walking your pets or taking the kids to the park. I have a clean & valid driver's license. I love to sing and dance and I have no problem watching the same movie over and over again. Both of my parents are teachers and I value education and helping children learn. I can help them learn basic manners and help with homework. I enjoy open communication with parents and will follow any rules given.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
