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.

As a mother of a 21-year-old son now in college, I bring over two decades of hands-on experience in parenting, caregiving, and supporting children’s growth and development. Throughout my son’s childhood, I was actively involved in his school community as a “team mom,” field trip chaperone, classroom volunteer, and consistent presence at school and extracurricular events. Before and after my son’s birth, I worked with school-age children and daycare programs on military bases in Florida and New Mexico. I also have extensive experience providing babysitting support for families and friends, stepping in for both regular care and occasional coverage when needed. As a parent, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and attention to individual household routines. I’m mindful of dietary needs, preferences, and any family-specific guidelines, and I always aim to create a balance between fun and structure while respecting each family’s expectations. I recognize that every household operates differently and adjust my approach accordingly. Parenthood has also taught me flexibility and calm problem-solving. I’m comfortable handling unexpected situations with patience and responsibility, addressing minor issues independently while keeping parents informed when something requires their attention. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a focus on child and adolescent development, which strengthens my understanding of behavior, communication, and age-appropriate engagement. I genuinely enjoy working with children, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and positive interactions in a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.

I have a combined twenty years experience in education and care. I have provided services for infant, pre-k, elementary school, middle and high school, adult learners and elderly. Also, I have experience providing services and care to those in memory care facilities. Additionally, I am an avid animal lover and activist (I have two animal babies of my own). I have experience caring for large and small breed dogs, cats, non exotic birds, and ferrets.

Hi there! My name is Lilly and I am thrilled to be considered for the role of making your family's life just a little bit easier. Before I was anything I was an older sister, my experience with childcare began with two significantly younger sisters I still play a large role in raising. In addition to my personal experience, I have worked in volunteer roles as a tutor and summer camp academic instructor in a local children's home and with Hillsborough County Public Schools (if you need a homework helper, I'm your girl!!). In addition to the basics like CPR, I would say I'm formally certified in the arts of snack distribution, copycat Broadway performances of the songs from whatever show or movie your kids can't get enough of right now, arts and crafts and schedule adherence. I also am more than willing to tidy up while I'm over! (I'm great at cleaning too... not to brag or anything...) In terms of pets, I'm a lifelong animal lover! Cats, dogs, exotics, I love animals big and small! I have experience with dogs, guinea pigs and other rodents, fish and hermit crabs specifically (as my own pets over the years). However, I have cared for many cats before and if I'm given a care instructions list, I'm confident I can make friends with any critter.

I am a 4th year Optometry Student and Nova Southeastern University. I have some experience children more so from a clinical optometry and vision therapy standpoint. I believe this to be a unique skill set that allows me to more observant of your child. I am CPR certified as it is required for my profession. I have five younger cousins that I’ve had the privilege to watch and help take care over the years. I have a little bit of experience as a caretaker as I was briefly my grandmother’s caretaker up until her passing. My boyfriend and I have a dog so I’m comfortable taking care and being around them. 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.
