Dina $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Dina 😊 I have several years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to elementary school. I previously worked in a daycare for 2 years, caring for children from infancy up to age 7, and I’ve continued babysitting regularly for families in my community. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and very hands-on — I love engaging with kids through play, creativity, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I also have experience in early childhood education and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow in a positive environment. Families would describe me as patient, energetic, and trustworthy. I take pride in creating a fun but safe space for your children while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to help your family — feel free to reach out! 💛

Ashley $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley, I’m going into my junior year of college next semester, and I’m 20 years old. I’m looking to babysit/nanny/dog sit this summer! I dog sat and occasionally baby sat for a family my first year of college but I have never formally had a job as a babysitter- however I’ve had jobs and done volunteering that have dealt with kids. I worked in a uniform clothing store last year. The clothing store had uniforms for many private schools and I would help children pick out their uniforms. I volunteered for 6 years every summer for vacation bible school and was in charge of a group of kids each week. I can drive kids (I have a car), am very good at arts and crafts, can tutor, and I’m athletic so I like outdoor activities. I am very patient, caring, kind, respectful, and easy to work with. I have a lot of free time this summer and would love to help babysit/nanny children!

Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

Provided childcare for families with children ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Worked as a classroom assistant at my synagogue for two years, assisting with children ages 7–8, collaborating with the teacher to help teach the Hebrew language and about Jewish culture. Served as a camp counselor for two years, supervising children ages 6–8 and ensuring their safety and well-being during both indoor and outdoor activities. Worked with children ages 2–4 in my high school preschool program, helping lead educational and developmental learning activities. Volunteered at Camp Jenny - an organization that gives children from an impoverished community an overnight summer camp experience that includes a variety of activities, sports and team-building exercises. At Camp Jenny, I was responsible for overnight care and supervision of children ages 7–8 and assisted with daily camp activities and routines. I would describe myself as a very loyal, flexible and responsible person who’s easygoing and enjoys creating a comfortable, positive environment. I like doing simple, fun things like game nights or movies nights in, and I’m always open to learning new things and trying new experiences. I am dependable, adaptable, and I try to bring calm and friendly energy wherever I am!

Booked by 1 family in Lutz, FL

Hello!! My name is Alyssa. I’m currently a nursing student off for summer looking for opportunities to babysit when my schedule allows. As of right now I have full availability on weekdays/most weekends but my schedule will change in August as the fall semester begins. Experience: I’ve worked as a sub and in infant/toddler childcare back home. I also was a soccer coach for littles (1-7y/o) my freshman year of college with Happy Feet! This past year I have been occupied with nursing school and clinical rotations aiding in patient care. I grew up with two younger siblings and have watched over many younger cousins. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats (as long as they are comfortable with me). I do not mind participating in household chores as needed! I love crafting, going on walks and am very attentive and organized. I also have my BLS certification and get regular background checks/drug tests, etc. for my nursing program :)
