Hola families! I’m Jenice, an experienced caregiver who has cared for children of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. I have worked in healthcare more than 20yrs. I am bilingual and I love teaching Spanish to young ones. I incorporate Spanish phrases and words in everyday activities with “my kids”. As a bilingual CPR & First Aid Instructor, I bring safety first. Kids love that I am attentive and engaging as I implement fun and learning through reading, games, outdoor play and creative activities.
Hi - My name is Ian and I'm currently a senior at FACS. I am offering yard services. I have three (3) years of experience in cutting yards, racking leaves, etc. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, working part-time at Chick-fil-A, and delivering groceries for Spark.
Hey ! I’m Sunshine and I am 19 years old. I currently work at an aftercare/preschool center, but I have been babysitting for years now. I love working with kids and typically work better with older age groups! I am also open to pet sitting, dogs or cats, and house sitting! I have done pet sitting and house sitting off and on for the past couple years as well :) I also did first aid and CPR training classes a couple years ago! I wanted to add to be more clear with my schedule; I am open any weekend, but I am only available past 6pm on weekdays.
“I booked with Sunshine for drop-in pet sitter services while I was out of town. She was very friendly, courteous and easy to work with! She was absolutely wonderful with my pets - a dog and cats - and took great care of them. I would highly recommend Sunshine and will book with her again!”
Hi! My name is Shylin, I am a new college student who loves children! I’m a dependable and caring babysitter who loves creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. With 2-3 years of babysitting experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, kindness, and keeping children engaged through games, crafts, outdoor play, and other activities they enjoy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, can help with meal prep and light housekeeping, and always keep parents updated. I can’t wait to meet your family! 🌼
I am the head coach for Lakeland Preparatory middle school boys lacrosse team. I have been the head coach of this program for 3 years, and both parents and players will attest that I am extremely effective at teaching young boys about self respect, discipline and independence. I also have 4 younger siblings that I, for a large portion of my life, have taken care of.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
