Booked by 5 families in Saint Petersburg, FL

Hi, I’m Claudia. I’ve been a babysitter on and off throughout my college career. I consider babysitting to be very rewarding. I enjoy spending time with kids and they always puts a smile on my face. It is great to know I can make a difference in a kid’s life, as well as it gives me the opportunity to gain experience in my field. I acquired my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have my DCF 40 clock hours as well as First Aid/CPR certification. I have experience as a Preschool teacher working with kids 1-5 yrs of age, but mainly focusing on 1yr olds.

“Fast responder, was very reliable and she took care of our newborn and our 2-year-old seamlessly. Thank you so much! ”

Booked by 4 families in Saint Petersburg, FL

Hi my name is Lucy, I am currently a full time college student going in to my junior year at Eckerd. I am looking for part time nanny positions and occasional babysitting jobs. I have lots of experience babysitting starting from the age of 12, as well as experience from being the oldest of 4. I spent last summer nannying for a 4 month old so l have experience with infants. This past summer I nannied for 3 girls under 10. If you want to reach out to my past employers for references we can absolutely make that happen. I spent a lot of my high school years as a Girl Scout and as a Girl Scouts camp counselor so I have lots of fun enriching activities and games to play with kiddos. I regularly volunteer at my mom's preschool so l also am very good with much younger children. I have my own car and can provide transportation as you are comfortable with. I am cpr, aed and first aid certified, have a clean driving record, and can provide swimming supervision. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me.

“she is great babysitter we will book her next time ”
