I am an accomplished single mother with of one eighteen year old son. My education includes an A.A and Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management. I am forty-three years old and I have cared for children since my early teen years. My experience also includes making sure that children are comfort, safe, and loved. I have previous CPR training and I am willing to gain an updated certification. I understand that it takes patience to care for children and I believe that my experience of raising my son on my own has imparted a gracious amount of patience. It is important to me to create an environment and atmosphere where children are adored, but also foster structure. I love to plan ways for children to learn early skills to help grow their development. I am certain that my personal parenthood and previous experiences will afford me to offer great childcare services.

Hi, I'm Suzana, 31 years old, and Brazilian. I’ve been in the US since 2018. I've been working as a service provider with childcare and home care for about 9+ years. Regarding childcare I have experience taking care of boys and girls, newborns to 14 years old. And since 2020 I’ve been working as a personal assistant/ house manager in parallel. About my personality: I’m kind, communicative, proactive, straightforward, and trustworthy. Household/personal assistance: I’m happy to help with: tidying, organization, laundry, dishes, trash, vacuum, schedule appointments, tasks and appointments reminders, booking trips, deal with contractors, social media manager, email cleaning, chop food, and more. But, I don’t do deep cleaning, I’m not good at it, I rather let the professionals cleaners handle this part. Childcare: 9+ years of experience taking care of boys and girls, newborns to 14 years old. I also have experience with special needs kids: diabetes, AHDH and premature. My disciplinary style: I like to listen to the kids and let them make decisions whenever is possible. I rather be more mindful than authoritarian, but it is important to me the kids know boundaries and I encourage discipline and respect. I also encourage learning, development and socialization. Tasks I’m comfortable doing as a nanny: play, drive, feed with bottle/spoon, give baths, help with homework, cook, bedtime routine, change diapers, make crafts, take to parks/museums, and go on little adventures such as a treasure hunt or a kid friendly hike. Some activities I enjoy taking kids to: Music class, swimming activities, story time and arts and crafts programs. Let me know if you are interested and I can also provided detailed experience. I have great references to share. Looking foward to hear from you. Have a great one!

Hi, I’m Claudia. I’ve been a babysitter on and off throughout my college career. I consider babysitting to be very rewarding. I enjoy spending time with kids and they always puts a smile on my face. It is great to know I can make a difference in a kid’s life, as well as it gives me the opportunity to gain experience in my field. I acquired my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have my DCF 40 clock hours as well as First Aid/CPR certification. I have experience as a Preschool teacher working with kids 1-5 yrs of age, but mainly focusing on 1yr olds.

Fast responder, was very reliable and she took care of our newborn and our 2-year-old seamlessly. Thank you so much!

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.
