Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

I know how hectic life gets and I am here to make it a bit easier for you. I assist in keeping busy families running smoothly by providing caregiving services to those you love the most. My educational background in psychology and over 10 years' experience in human services ensures that you have someone working for you who will keep your loved ones engaged, safe and happy. When you choose me, you are choosing someone who will become an extension of your family. That is able to assist with not only the fun things but also those issues that are more challenging. As someone that believes in work hard play hard I can often be found relaxing on a Gulf Coast beach on my down time. I look forward to working with you!

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.

Availability: short-term overnight support. I am a certified postpartum doula and infant nanny! :) Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! Experience: I have been in the childcare field full time as an infant nanny turned postpartum doula for 11 consecutive years now. I have cared for children as young as 12 hours old :) I share my most experience caring for the newborn - 18 month olds (baby led weaning, baby sign language, etc) but have plenty of experience with 2-5 year olds as well! I have worked with families of twins, children with behavioral challenges (ODD), children on the Autism spectrum and children who need extra assistance due to physical differences. My specialty is infant care! While babies are napping I am happy to help with light housekeeping. Education: B.S. in Childhood Development Birth-Kindergarten + Psychology. I am Infant+Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have SIDS safe sleep training. I practice the Reggio Emilia approach (child-directed and constructivist) as well as Montessori. Appropriate language and conscious discipline are important to me. About me: I love to travel! I have cared for families in MA,FL,GA & NC so far. I enjoy painting, being outdoors/hiking, swimming, dancing and eating healthy snacks. Transparency and open communication with families is key for me. If you'd like to get to know more details / background feel free to shoot me a message! ** Update: I have a 4hr day minimum, although I do not have to be physically present for all 4hrs if not needed. For postpartum care, 10hr shifts overnight / 24/7 care / travel care / surrogacy journeys / first time parent education! Feel free to message me anytime.

“Destiny is awesome! Highly recommend if you have a chance to work with her! She’s immediately warm and comforting to baby. She’s also very knowledgeable about child development and plays with baby in developmentally appropriate ways. Super professional and makes you feel comfortable that baby (6.5 months) is in great care. ”

Armani 2 reviews
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Durant, FL

I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.

“Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her. ”
