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.

Armani 2 reviews
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Tarpon Springs, FL

I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.

Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her.

Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

Provided childcare for families with children ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Worked as a classroom assistant at my synagogue for two years, assisting with children ages 7–8, collaborating with the teacher to help teach the Hebrew language and about Jewish culture. Served as a camp counselor for two years, supervising children ages 6–8 and ensuring their safety and well-being during both indoor and outdoor activities. Worked with children ages 2–4 in my high school preschool program, helping lead educational and developmental learning activities. Volunteered at Camp Jenny - an organization that gives children from an impoverished community an overnight summer camp experience that includes a variety of activities, sports and team-building exercises. At Camp Jenny, I was responsible for overnight care and supervision of children ages 7–8 and assisted with daily camp activities and routines. I would describe myself as a very loyal, flexible and responsible person who’s easygoing and enjoys creating a comfortable, positive environment. I like doing simple, fun things like game nights or movies nights in, and I’m always open to learning new things and trying new experiences. I am dependable, adaptable, and I try to bring calm and friendly energy wherever I am!
