Booked by 11 families in Brandon, FL

Hi there! My name is Angelica and I’m an experienced caregiver with a background in early childhood education. I’ve worked as a teacher assistant and a toddler teacher at Best Friends for Kidz Daycare. I’ve also been a babysitter for several wonderful families over the years. As of June 2026, I will have an associates degree in general education from Hillsborough Community College. I also a mom to a sweet 2 year old, who occasionally joins me for care at a reduced rate of $15/hr (optional, and entirely up to parents). Currently, I babysit for a family every Friday caring for a 2-year-old, so at this time (2026), I’m unavailable Fridays before 5 p.m. I’m kind, patient, loving, and trustworthy, with a reliable car, CPR certification, and fluency in Spanish. I’m happy to provide references, including my long-term Friday family I’ve been with since October 2024. If you’re looking for someone dependable, nurturing, and engaging to care for your little one, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a great fit! Thank you for your time and consideration!💛

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.
