$23 per hour for 1 child

I am an accomplished single mother with of one eighteen year old son. My education includes an A.A and Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management. I am forty-three years old and I have cared for children since my early teen years. My experience also includes making sure that children are comfort, safe, and loved. I have previous CPR training and I am willing to gain an updated certification. I understand that it takes patience to care for children and I believe that my experience of raising my son on my own has imparted a gracious amount of patience. It is important to me to create an environment and atmosphere where children are adored, but also foster structure. I love to plan ways for children to learn early skills to help grow their development. I am certain that my personal parenthood and previous experiences will afford me to offer great childcare services.

$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Tracy. I’m a mother, grandmother, and experienced caregiver with a background in pediatric nursing. I’ve spent many years caring for infants, babies, and toddlers and truly enjoy supporting children during these important early years. My pediatric nursing education and clinical experience gave me a strong foundation in child safety, health, and early development. Families often appreciate the calm, confident approach I bring to childcare, along with the added reassurance of my medical background. As both a mom and grandmother, I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their child. I focus on creating a warm, safe environment where children feel secure and supported. I’m very comfortable with infant and toddler care, including feeding, diapering, nap routines, and supporting developmental milestones. I enjoy reading with children, outdoor walks, music, and play that encourages curiosity and early learning. Parents often tell me they feel at ease leaving their child with me because I’m calm, attentive, and experienced in recognizing children’s needs and keeping them safe. I live in Seminole and am currently available for part-time childcare with infants or toddlers.

$22 per hour for 1 child

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.
