Hi! I’m Alexis and I am a 24 year old nanny and tutor. In 2024 I graduated from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor’s in Liberal Studies. In my degree program I have spent over 100 hours in classrooms, teaching and observing various grade levels. I have also done private tutoring and babysitting for several years. In my spare time I like to read, paint, and go for walks with my dogs. Most people would describe me as bubbly, energetic, and down to earth. I hope I am a great fit as your sitter!

Provided childcare for families with children ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Worked as a classroom assistant at my synagogue for two years, assisting with children ages 7–8, collaborating with the teacher to help teach the Hebrew language and about Jewish culture. Served as a camp counselor for two years, supervising children ages 6–8 and ensuring their safety and well-being during both indoor and outdoor activities. Worked with children ages 2–4 in my high school preschool program, helping lead educational and developmental learning activities. Volunteered at Camp Jenny - an organization that gives children from an impoverished community an overnight summer camp experience that includes a variety of activities, sports and team-building exercises. At Camp Jenny, I was responsible for overnight care and supervision of children ages 7–8 and assisted with daily camp activities and routines. I would describe myself as a very loyal, flexible and responsible person who’s easygoing and enjoys creating a comfortable, positive environment. I like doing simple, fun things like game nights or movies nights in, and I’m always open to learning new things and trying new experiences. I am dependable, adaptable, and I try to bring calm and friendly energy wherever I am!

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jessie. I have 24 years of experience in education and child care. I have 2 boys, 13 and 15. 2 dogs, a Great Dane and a Saint Bernard. Currently I teach in Pinellas County Schools private school division and work with ESE students in K-12 grade. I started babysitting when I was 14 and quickly became a nanny for 2 families. My first nanny job began with a 6 month old and a 1.5 year old. I stayed with that family until they were 5 and 6.5. When those children began school full time I did pick ups and drop offs, but during the day I worked in a church daycare with infants to two year olds. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I am available for school pickups and drop offs, night time sittings, overnights, pet and house sitting as well. I love playing games, going on educational outings, movies, farmers markets, theme parks, or just crafting at home. I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you in the future.
