Simona $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dunedin, FL

Hi! I’m Simona, a sophomore at the University of Tampa, where I’m an Honors College student majoring in Criminology. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve been babysitting and serving as a camp counselor since I was 14 years old, and for the past two years I’ve also been teaching swim lessons to children of all ages. With over five years of experience caring for kids, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children and teens. I have worked with children of many different personalities, abilities, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, or simply being a dependable caregiver, I always strive to make every family feel confident and comfortable while their children are in my care.

I believe I would describe myself as dedicated and passionate. With children, I can be very fun but I also know when it is necessary to be serious.

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Dunedin, 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. ”

Hi! My name is Monica and I’m a Tampa-based babysitter and university student offering reliable child care for families in the area. I’ve been caring for kids for years and genuinely enjoy it. I also grew up helping take care of my two younger brothers, so being patient, responsible, and attentive comes naturally to me. Throughout high school, I babysat consistently for multiple families in Miami and gained experience with kids of different ages. I’m happy to help with homework, play the games your kids enjoy, and make sure bedtime routines go smoothly. I’m friendly, dependable, and safety is always my top priority. My goal is always to make sure your kids feel comfortable, happy, and well taken care of while you’re away.

This past summer I nannied for 3 girls under 10. If you want to reach out to my past employers for references we can absolutely make that happen. I spent a lot of my high school years as a Girl Scout and as a Girl Scouts camp counselor so I have lots of fun enriching activities and games to play with kiddos. I regularly volunteer at my mom's preschool so l also am very good with much younger children. I have my own car and can provide transportation as you are comfortable with. I am cpr, aed and first aid certified, have a clean driving record, and can provide swimming supervision. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me.
