Donica 1 review
Boynton Beach
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a nurturing and dependable caregiver with experience caring for children and seniors. As the oldest of four, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role from a young age, supporting my own family and babysitting for family friends and neighbors. I’m patient, attentive, and optimistic, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment for those in my care. I’m currently available for occasional and last-minute care on Sundays–Wednesdays, depending on the week. I’m especially happy to help with short notice or one-time bookings! While I don’t transport children in my own vehicle, I’m comfortable staying on-site or using a family vehicle if needed.

Donica is a great babysitter. My kid loved her and is constantly asking when she’ll be back. She’s patient, flexible, reliable and responsible. Her communication throughout is top tier. Donica truly has a way with children. If you’re looking for someone who is skilled and able to adjust to your schedule, she is the perfect candidate.

Hi! My name is Faeth, and I’m a student at Palm Beach State. I have several years of babysitting experience and have worked at The Learning Experience, caring for infants and young children. I also have a baby sister, which has given me even more hands-on experience with little ones. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a fun, safe environment for kids to learn and grow. In my free time, I enjoy watching Gilmore Girls, The Office and listening to Taylor Swift!

I have been babysitting since I was 13, and I've worked as a lifeguard who taught swim lessons to children ages 3 through elementary school for a summer. I regularly babysat this past summer for three wonderful kids (ages 2, 5, and 7), and I also served in the junior high youth group at my home church in Colorado! I am always up for crafts, games, cooking and any fun activities your kids enjoy. I can clean, cook, and I'm CPR certified.

"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!"
