Booked by 5 families in Miami, FL

Hi! My name is Miriam, and I’m a first year nursing student with 6 years of babysitting experience caring for children from newborns through elementary school age. I’m CPR certified and have a certification in Early Childhood Education, giving me the knowledge and experience to care for children at different stages of development. I’m currently pursuing my college education with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse, so working with children is something I truly enjoy and am passionate about. I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting jobs, especially in the evenings. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and dependable, and I’m comfortable helping with meals, homework, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children safe and entertained. I’d love the opportunity to provide your little ones with a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while giving parents peace of mind! 💕

“Miriam was super friendly, communicative, and did a great job with my two youngest babes. She handled a 17 month old and a 5 month old seamlessly and even got BOTH OF THEM to nap. She even cleared the dishes from the sink, which was totally not necessary, but incredibly appreciated! We plan to hire again for an upcoming date night!”

Melany $20 per hour for 1 child

Throughout middle and high school, I spent a lot of time volunteering to take care of kids, whether it was helping out at summer camps, after-school programs, or babysitting for family friends. I also work at a daycare. Those experiences sparked my passion for working with children and taught me how rewarding it can be to be a positive part of their lives. I’ve always made it a priority to create a safe, welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for, while also making sure they’re having fun—whether that means turning everyday tasks into games, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they can laugh and talk with. I bring a bright, upbeat personality to everything I do, and I love being the kind of person kids can look up to and trust. For me, it’s not just about keeping kids safe and entertained—it’s about making them feel seen, valued, and excited to be themselves.

Ana $50 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated mother of three boys with years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, personalities, and needs. Being a mom has strengthened my patience, compassion, multitasking abilities, and instinct to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I understand the importance of balancing emotional support, routines, academics, and daily care with warmth and consistency. My educational background is in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Florida International University, a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, and an Educational Specialist degree in Reading K–12 from Nova Southeastern University. This strong academic foundation gives me a deep understanding of how children learn, grow, and develop both academically and emotionally. My combination of real-life parenting experience and advanced education allows me to provide thoughtful, attentive, and high-quality care.

Samantha $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Samantha. I am a after-school and summer camp counselor. I have been working in this position for a year. I am very patient and friendly. I enjoy engaging children through outdoor sports, physical games, and educational activities that spark curiosity. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision to keep your little ones safe in the water. I am also comfortable with pets and love helping with creative crafts. I prioritize your preferences by following your household rules and communicating through your chosen method. I am also DCF and CPR certified. I love working with kids and plan on continuing after college.

Néïssa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Neissa, and I’m a friendly and caring college junior studying biology. While I’ve officially babysat once, I have meaningful caregiving experience from helping care for my grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s, as well as my grandfather, who needed assistance with mobility. These experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to be attentive to others’ needs. I also grew up with siblings, which helped me understand different family dynamics and how to be flexible and supportive in a home with multiple kids. In addition, I work as a student ambassador at my university, where I regularly lead group tours for middle and high school students. This role has given me strong experience managing groups of kids, getting their attention, and staying calm and positive under pressure. I speak three languages, love reading, and enjoy doing crafts and creative activities. I’m reliable, warm, and always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children.
