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.”

I’m a 19 year old college student with over three years of experience with children. I have multiple CPR/First Aid/Choking certifications and real world experiences. I’ve been lifeguarding since I was 16, and have always had a passion for working with kids. I currently go to FAU, but have a decently flexible schedule and am able to work 30+ hours a week, including overnights, and weekends.
Child care: I’ve been my family’s babysitter for my cousins and siblings since a very young age, i’ve babysat the babies, toddlers, kids, and teens my entire life! I enjoy working with kids, I think they’re extremely bright and can become such wonderful people. I know that I am alternative looking and can be a little intimidating in that manner but I promise the way I look has no effect on my genuine love for what I do! Pet care: I love animals! I volunteer with kittens (young, just shy of adopting age) and I have owned a small dog all my life! I have dog sat for a VERY large boxer , a large doodle, a dog that was bigger than I am, and more. I love dogs!! Other animals i am not experienced with I am open to as long as there is clear care instructions 😊 Senior Care: I took care of my older family members for entire summers at a time, however I am not as experienced and would appreciate clear instructions here aswell. Other services: General house sitting, errands, etc. Light cleaning and organizing!
Caring for others is a calling. I have had decades of experience as a teacher, pet caregiver, and caregiver for Seniors. I have an undergraduate degree from Cornell University, a Masters in Education from the University of Maryland and a Masters in English from FAU. I am a certified Florida English and reading teacher as well. I have been an infant caregiver, a preschool teacher, a teacher in schools, and an educational consultant for students ages 3 to 63! As a teacher, dog walker/sitter, babysitter, and caregiver, I love helping children, pets, and people in general! I am organized, responsible, and flexible and I look forward to hearing from you and to helping you!

"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!"
