Hi families! My name is Lauren, and I've spent several years working with children. I've also taken care of dogs, so your furry friends are in good hands! My responsibilities include ensuring safety, providing engaging activities, and maintaining a clean environment. As a childcare provider, I understand that safety is the top priority. I always make sure that the children and pets in my care are supervised at all times, and that the environment is safe and secure. In addition to safety, I also prioritize providing engaging activities that are appropriate for each child's age and interests. Whether it's playing games, doing arts and crafts, or going on outdoor adventures, I strive to make sure that each child has a fun and fulfilling experience. And of course, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized space, so I always make sure to tidy up after activities and ensure that any messes are promptly taken care of.
Hi, my name is Alexa! I am a college student at FIU currently and planning on continuing to graduate school. I have 10 years of experience as a babysitter and swim teacher to children of all ages. My specialty are ages 0-7 but i have experience with all ages. I am creative and patient which js the perfect combination when it comes to keeping kids engaged and entertained. I love learning based play and using games to teach different lessons. I am a teacher at heart. I love animals, and would be more than happy to take care of any pets. I used to work at Zoo Miami so no animal is too big or too small. I have 4 dogs of my own so im used to many furry friends at once. I look forward to meeting you and helping out however I can.
My name is Reyna, I am 38 years old woman, mom of 2, professional , caring, reliable, trustable, outgoing, hands on person. I have always felt great empathy with children and I usually interact with them in a fluid and comfortable way. I have also sitted of my nephews during the holidays and other occasions for more than 10 years. All these experiences have taught me how to keep a child safe and happy, but definitely when I became the mother of my daughter I experience all the responsibility and the privilege of attending a small child 24/7 and making her grow up healthy, safe, loved and happy, then I mastered all the skills to grow two amazing kids. Also in the last years I sitted for several children of different ages, from newborns to teenager of 12 years. As nanny I am loving, attentive, playful, fun, creative with learning activities through games, songs, experiments, crafts. At the same time, I am responsible for preparing food, bath, bedtime, as well as maintaining order and cleanliness. I am CPR certified, biIingual Spanish/English, I have my own transportation and a clean driving record. If you have any further question, please feel free to ask. I hope to hear from you soon.
I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person with experience taking care of children and pets. I have a 14-year-old sister whom I have helped care for since she was a baby, so I’m comfortable with children and understand the importance of patience, attention, and responsibility. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, and I absolutely love animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets, as well as keeping them safe and comfortable. I also serve in the Air Force, which has helped me develop strong discipline, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I would love the opportunity to help families with their children, pets, or home and provide trustworthy and caring service.
Hi! My name is Emma, and I am a responsible, organized undergraduate psychology student at Florida International University, expected to graduate in Fall 2026. I have a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral development during their early years. I am currently seeking part-time babysitting opportunities to continue building hands-on experience with children as I prepare for graduate school and pursue my long-term goal of earning a PhD in psychology. I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, kind, understanding, and empathetic. I have approximately two years of babysitting experience, caring for children during my adolescence and throughout high school. This included regularly babysitting for my neighbors as well as caring for my best friend’s younger brother. I am comfortable providing attentive, reliable care and creating a safe, supportive environment for children. I was previously CPR certified and am willing to renew my certification as needed.
