Booked by 2 families in Palm Harbor, FL

Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.

Dayana $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring and responsible childcare provider with professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with children with autism and special needs. While I have not worked formally as a nanny, I am also a mother, which has given me hands-on experience in daily childcare, safety, and child development. I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so I am available for afternoon, evening, and weekend childcare. I focus on supporting positive behavior, routine building, and developmental skills using structured and supportive strategies when needed. I am patient, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children.

Tracy $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Tracy. I’m a mother, grandmother, and experienced caregiver with a background in pediatric nursing. I’ve spent many years caring for infants, babies, and toddlers and truly enjoy supporting children during these important early years. My pediatric nursing education and clinical experience gave me a strong foundation in child safety, health, and early development. Families often appreciate the calm, confident approach I bring to childcare, along with the added reassurance of my medical background. As both a mom and grandmother, I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their child. I focus on creating a warm, safe environment where children feel secure and supported. I’m very comfortable with infant and toddler care, including feeding, diapering, nap routines, and supporting developmental milestones. I enjoy reading with children, outdoor walks, music, and play that encourages curiosity and early learning. Parents often tell me they feel at ease leaving their child with me because I’m calm, attentive, and experienced in recognizing children’s needs and keeping them safe. I live in Seminole and am currently available for part-time childcare with infants or toddlers.

Christina $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Christina. I have around 6 years of babysitting experience caring for children between the ages of 2 and 10, along with growing up helping care for my younger brother. I have always loved being around children, and I treat every child I care for with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own younger sibling. I strive to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where children feel supported and cared for. I am responsible, dependable, patient, nurturing, and attentive to each child's individual needs. My experience includes everything from watching children for a few hours to providing overnight care and transportation when needed. I am comfortable adapting to different family routines and helping with daily responsibilities to make parents' lives easier. I am currently a full-time online student at the University of South Florida, which gives me a flexible schedule and greater availability for families. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the children I care for and becoming someone parents can trust. My goal is to make sure every family feels comfortable leaving their children in my care and that every child feels safe, happy, and loved while I am with them.
