Delaney $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm an FIU student, studying data analytics and business administration. I've got tons of experience with little ones – think toddlers and school-aged kids. I spent a whole summer, and parts of the school year, being a go-to for a fantastic 7-year-old boy. We had a blast! I was there for them for about 3 years, weekends, evenings, homework help, you name it. I'm super easygoing, patient, and gentle. I’m a big reader, so I'm always up for story time. And even if homework isn't their favorite thing, I'm great at finding ways to make it fun and engaging. I'm happy to pitch in with light household stuff too – a little cleaning, unloading the dishwasher, switching laundry, making snacks or dinner, whatever helps make your life a bit easier. I'm a great cook and a reformed picky eater so if you have one of those I'm the girl for the job! Also, I have a tree nut allergy myself, so I totally get the importance of allergy awareness and know how to use an EpiPen. Safety first! I'm excited to meet you and your family!

Geminiaya 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Geminiaya, I have worked with kids of all ages. I was a summer camp counselor for kids in 5-8 grade and I also babysit my little cousin who just turned 5. I love taking care of children because I always get to see a smile on their face.

“I couldn't have asked for a better babysitter! Geminiaya was absolutely wonderful with my sweet angel. She was kind, patient, and kept my little one entertained the whole time. From fun activities to making sure bedtime went smoothly, everything was handled perfectly. My child couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had! I felt completely at ease knowing that he was in such great hands. I will definitely be booking Geminiaya again. Highly recommend!”

Hi, my name is Sonia, and I am a reliable, friendly and responsible babysitter with a passion for caring for children.

I have flexible availability and can work afternoons, weekends or by the hour, depending on your family's needs.

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, responsible, and experienced childcare professional who genuinely enjoys working with children. I’m a Montessori-certified educator and kindergarten teacher, so I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and creating a fun, safe, and structured environment. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I love doing crafts, playing, reading, helping with homework, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. My goal is for families to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and capable hands.
