Hi! My name is Destiny, and I am a college student that is patient and reliable. I truly enjoy working with kids. I offer child care, light help with home tasks, and help with simple homework if needed. I have experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and pre teens, and I love doing fun activities like crafts, reading, outdoor play, and learning games. I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, and keeping things organized. I also enjoy making easy, healthy meals. I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and happy.

Lilliana $17 per hour for 1 child

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.

Monica $18 per hour for 1 child

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.

Sophia $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Valrico, 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.

"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!"
