My educational background in psychology and over 10 years' experience in human services ensures that you have someone working for you who will keep your loved ones engaged, safe and happy. When you choose me, you are choosing someone who will become an extension of your family. That is able to assist with not only the fun things but also those issues that are more challenging.

Experience: I have been in the childcare field full time as an infant nanny turned postpartum doula for 11 consecutive years now. I have cared for children as young as 12 hours old :) I share my most experience caring for the newborn - 18 month olds (baby led weaning, baby sign language, etc) but have plenty of experience with 2-5 year olds as well! I have worked with families of twins, children with behavioral challenges (ODD), children on the Autism spectrum and children who need extra assistance due to physical differences. My specialty is infant care! While babies are napping I am happy to help with light housekeeping. Education: B.S. in Childhood Development Birth-Kindergarten + Psychology. I am Infant+Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have SIDS safe sleep training. I practice the Reggio Emilia approach (child-directed and constructivist) as well as Montessori. Appropriate language and conscious discipline are important to me. About me: I love to travel! I have cared for families in MA,FL,GA & NC so far. I enjoy painting, being outdoors/hiking, swimming, dancing and eating healthy snacks. Transparency and open communication with families is key for me. If you'd like to get to know more details / background feel free to shoot me a message! ** Update: I have a 4hr day minimum, although I do not have to be physically present for all 4hrs if not needed. For postpartum care, 10hr shifts overnight / 24/7 care / travel care / surrogacy journeys / first time parent education! Feel free to message me anytime.

“Destiny is awesome! Highly recommend if you have a chance to work with her! She’s immediately warm and comforting to baby. She’s also very knowledgeable about child development and plays with baby in developmentally appropriate ways. Super professional and makes you feel comfortable that baby (6.5 months) is in great care. ”

$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Durant, FL

Hello everyone, my name is Sophia and I am currently a student at the University of South Florida! I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and being around kids. I volunteer at an elementary school every week, providing tutoring services in English. Fostering educational and learning opportunities for children is important to me--I am open to providing tutoring services during babysitting shifts. Beside tutoring, I also am part of a subbing agency where I work with children from ages 1-5. I am dedicated to creating safe and comfortable environments for your children while you are away. I also have skills in cooking and crafting. I also have experience pet-sitting. Responsibilities included walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping company. I love all animals, but dogs and cats are most up my alley! I volunteer for a senior care agency, where I call seniors with chronic illnesses 2-3x a week to check up on their physical and mental health--fostering real relationships. I do not feel comfortable providing medical care. Responsibilities I would be open to provide: Driving, running errands, cooking, and spending time with them. Feel free to message me with any other specific responsibilities you are looking for! I provide many household services: cooking, cleaning, laundry, organizing, etc. I will not be able to bring my own supplies, so they will need to be provided.

Armani 2 reviews
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Durant, 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. ”

"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!"
