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

Kyra Oldsmar
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Kyra! I am an aunt of 12 and have been a built in babysitter for the past six years. I am offering babysitting for ages 2 and up, animal care, as well as, house-sitting. Excluding family, I have been babysitting for a little over 2 years. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, extracurricular activities, and tutoring. I love entertaining the littles with arts & crafts as well as any physical activities they enjoy or are recommended by parents. When babysitting school-age kids, I have found being younger has encouraged bonding. We always have fun, but you can still count on me to maintain the household rules. I can still have fun playing dress up, dolls or dinosaurs, as well as any sport activities! I am definitely a creative and outdoorsy person, so I try to avoid screens and inspire children’s imagination, artistic and/or athletic skills.

$17 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring and responsible childcare provider with professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with children with autism and special needs. While I have not worked formally as a nanny, I am also a mother, which has given me hands-on experience in daily childcare, safety, and child development. I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so I am available for afternoon, evening, and weekend childcare. I focus on supporting positive behavior, routine building, and developmental skills using structured and supportive strategies when needed. I am patient, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children.

Booked by 1 family in Odessa, FL

Hello!! My name is Alyssa. I’m currently a nursing student off for summer looking for opportunities to babysit when my schedule allows. As of right now I have full availability on weekdays/most weekends but my schedule will change in August as the fall semester begins. Experience: I’ve worked as a sub and in infant/toddler childcare back home. I also was a soccer coach for littles (1-7y/o) my freshman year of college with Happy Feet! This past year I have been occupied with nursing school and clinical rotations aiding in patient care. I grew up with two younger siblings and have watched over many younger cousins. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats (as long as they are comfortable with me). I do not mind participating in household chores as needed! I love crafting, going on walks and am very attentive and organized. I also have my BLS certification and get regular background checks/drug tests, etc. for my nursing program :)
