Donica 1 review
Boynton Beach
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a nurturing and dependable caregiver with experience caring for children and seniors. As the oldest of four, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role from a young age, supporting my own family and babysitting for family friends and neighbors. I’m patient, attentive, and optimistic, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment for those in my care. I’m currently available for occasional and last-minute care on Sundays–Wednesdays, depending on the week. I’m especially happy to help with short notice or one-time bookings! While I don’t transport children in my own vehicle, I’m comfortable staying on-site or using a family vehicle if needed.

Donica is a great babysitter. My kid loved her and is constantly asking when she’ll be back. She’s patient, flexible, reliable and responsible. Her communication throughout is top tier. Donica truly has a way with children. If you’re looking for someone who is skilled and able to adjust to your schedule, she is the perfect candidate.

Hi! My name is Faeth, and I’m a student at Palm Beach State. I have several years of babysitting experience and have worked at The Learning Experience, caring for infants and young children. I also have a baby sister, which has given me even more hands-on experience with little ones. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a fun, safe environment for kids to learn and grow.
