Baylee $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, beautiful families! My name is Baylee. I grew up in a large family with eight siblings, all two to four years apart, making childcare a natural part of my life. I also have experience babysitting for other families and can help with driving, homework, cooking, dancing, painting, and more. I am responsible, reliable, and nurturing, with strong multitasking skills and a natural ability to understand children’s emotional and physical needs. I am also comfortable caring for pets and walking them. I’ve owned a Micro American Bully, a Great Pyrenees, two cats, goldfish, a bird, snakes, lizards, and bunnies. Additionally, I assist with senior companionship, light housekeeping, and keeping spaces clean and organized. I truly enjoy caregiving and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for families.

Booked by 69 families in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hey!!! I am Leah, a 23-year-old social work/early childhood education student. I am a lead VPK teacher at a daycare facility in Palm Beach County. I provide babysitting, tutoring, and mentoring services for all ages. I have been tutoring and working with children for about 10 years, started with my little sister being born. I’m all about child safety and development. I have completed my 40 DCF hours and have obtained my Children’s Development Associate (CDA). I have experience with newborns to high school, from childcare to tutoring. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified. I like bring activities like painting, building, reading, coloring, or even crocheting, dependent on the age and interests. I used to work at Disney, so I’m just a big ball of energy!! CANCELLATIONS: If you need to cancel, no problem! Just out of common curiosity, I ask for 50% of the time booked for cancellations within the 24-hour window. If the cancellation occurs on the day of the booking, I request 75% of the time booked. MINIMUM BOOKING: I have a 4-hour minimum for all shifts. For bookings under 4 hours, I charge a flat rate (travel included). For anything 4 hours or more, it is my standard hourly rates.

Leah was wonderful with our child. Great communication, great experience, highly recommend her!
