$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Gabby. I’m a fun, responsible, and caring babysitter with a natural ability to connect with children of all ages. I truly enjoy spending time with kids—playing, reading stories, doing creative activities, or simply being present and attentive to their needs. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, providing them with patience, understanding, and personalized support. Their safety and comfort are always a priority for me. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, attentive, and calm. I take pride in creating a positive, safe, and joyful environment where children feel secure and supported. I also love animals and can help care for pets, as long as they are friendly and non-aggressive. I’m available for babysitting jobs in the Miami area. If you’re looking for someone kind, dependable, and experienced, I’d love to connect with your family!

Booked by 3 families in Opa Locka, FL

Hi! I’m Miriam, a responsible and caring babysitter with 5+ years of experience with children of all ages. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and I’m happy to help with homework, meals, and bedtime routines. I have experience teaching pre-k classes and coaching elementary sports/summer camps! I'm also CPR/First Aid certified with an early childhood education certificate. Families say I’m reliable, patient, and easy to work with. I’d love to support your family whenever you need an extra hand!

Miriam was super friendly, communicative, and did a great job with my two youngest babes. She handled a 17 month old and a 5 month old seamlessly and even got BOTH OF THEM to nap. She even cleared the dishes from the sink, which was totally not necessary, but incredibly appreciated! We plan to hire again for an upcoming date night!

Brianna Miami
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m 19 years old and currently working part-time while saving up to continue my education. Babysitting has always come naturally to me since I’ve helped raise my twin siblings (they’re 7 now). From school mornings and packed lunches to after-school homework and bedtime, I’ve had hands-on experience with all the routines that come with growing kids. I also have recent infant experience my sister-in-law’s baby is turning one, and I’ve spent plenty of time helping with bottles, naps, and playtime.
