Ana $50 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated mother of three boys with years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, personalities, and needs. Being a mom has strengthened my patience, compassion, multitasking abilities, and instinct to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I understand the importance of balancing emotional support, routines, academics, and daily care with warmth and consistency. My educational background is in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Florida International University, a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, and an Educational Specialist degree in Reading K–12 from Nova Southeastern University. This strong academic foundation gives me a deep understanding of how children learn, grow, and develop both academically and emotionally. My combination of real-life parenting experience and advanced education allows me to provide thoughtful, attentive, and high-quality care.

Isabella $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person with experience taking care of children and pets. I have a 14-year-old sister whom I have helped care for since she was a baby, so I’m comfortable with children and understand the importance of patience, attention, and responsibility. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, and I absolutely love animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets, as well as keeping them safe and comfortable. I also serve in the Air Force, which has helped me develop strong discipline, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I would love the opportunity to help families with their children, pets, or home and provide trustworthy and caring service.

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.
