Emma $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I am a responsible, organized undergraduate psychology student at Florida International University, expected to graduate in Fall 2026. I have a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral development during their early years. I am currently seeking part-time babysitting opportunities to continue building hands-on experience with children as I prepare for graduate school and pursue my long-term goal of earning a PhD in psychology. I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, kind, understanding, and empathetic. I have approximately two years of babysitting experience, caring for children during my adolescence and throughout high school. This included regularly babysitting for my neighbors as well as caring for my best friend’s younger brother. I am comfortable providing attentive, reliable care and creating a safe, supportive environment for children. I was previously CPR certified and am willing to renew my certification as needed.

Booked by 28 families in University Park, FL

My name is Reyna, I am 38 years old woman, mom of 2, professional , caring, reliable, trustable, outgoing, hands on person. I have always felt great empathy with children and I usually interact with them in a fluid and comfortable way. I have also sitted of my nephews during the holidays and other occasions for more than 10 years. All these experiences have taught me how to keep a child safe and happy, but definitely when I became the mother of my daughter I experience all the responsibility and the privilege of attending a small child 24/7 and making her grow up healthy, safe, loved and happy, then I mastered all the skills to grow two amazing kids. Also in the last years I sitted for several children of different ages, from newborns to teenager of 12 years. As nanny I am loving, attentive, playful, fun, creative with learning activities through games, songs, experiments, crafts. At the same time, I am responsible for preparing food, bath, bedtime, as well as maintaining order and cleanliness. I am CPR certified, biIingual Spanish/English, I have my own transportation and a clean driving record. If you have any further question, please feel free to ask. I hope to hear from you soon.

Melany $20 per hour for 1 child

Throughout middle and high school, I spent a lot of time volunteering to take care of kids, whether it was helping out at summer camps, after-school programs, or babysitting for family friends. I also work at a daycare. Those experiences sparked my passion for working with children and taught me how rewarding it can be to be a positive part of their lives. I’ve always made it a priority to create a safe, welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for, while also making sure they’re having fun—whether that means turning everyday tasks into games, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they can laugh and talk with. I bring a bright, upbeat personality to everything I do, and I love being the kind of person kids can look up to and trust. For me, it’s not just about keeping kids safe and entertained—it’s about making them feel seen, valued, and excited to be themselves.

Sloan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sloan and I’m from NC but I currently live here in Miami for college! I absolutely adore kids and I have worked with them for many years! I’ve babysat kids in my neighborhood of all ages and in high school, I took classes where I had the opportunity to learn all about children and their development and needs through the Early Childhood Education class which also allowed me to work everyday with the kids in the preschool that was attached to my high school! I also took a Teacher Cadet class where I picked to work with Kindergarteners where I had to make lesson plans and teach the class! I spent every morning with them for 9 weeks and would spend any of my extra days working with them as well!
