Booked by 2 families in Balm, FL

Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.

Booked by 3 families in Balm, 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.

Kylie Myakka City
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kylie and I am currently a freshman at SCF for nursing! I am offering childcare, animal care, senior care, and household services. I am wanting to get into babysitting and am using this as my first step. We all have to start somewhere right?? I have no babysat for a family unknown but have babysat my nieces and nephews as well as neighbors children. I sometimes clean houses on the side, and can run errands as well. I am comfortable with senior care, as I have taken care of my grandparents from time to time. I also am very comfortable with animals as I have many of my own. I can drive to appointments, run errands or other tasks if needed.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
