Hi - My name is Kyra! I am an aunt of 12 and have been a built in babysitter for the past six years. I am offering babysitting for ages 2 and up, animal care, as well as, house-sitting. Excluding family, I have been babysitting for a little over 2 years. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, extracurricular activities, and tutoring. I love entertaining the littles with arts & crafts as well as any physical activities they enjoy or are recommended by parents. When babysitting school-age kids, I have found being younger has encouraged bonding. We always have fun, but you can still count on me to maintain the household rules. I can still have fun playing dress up, dolls or dinosaurs, as well as any sport activities! I am definitely a creative and outdoorsy person, so I try to avoid screens and inspire children’s imagination, artistic and/or athletic skills.
I am a caring and responsible childcare provider with professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with children with autism and special needs. While I have not worked formally as a nanny, I am also a mother, which has given me hands-on experience in daily childcare, safety, and child development. I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so I am available for afternoon, evening, and weekend childcare. I focus on supporting positive behavior, routine building, and developmental skills using structured and supportive strategies when needed. I am patient, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children.
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 :)
My name is Hannah; I am currently a student at USF Tampa campus, with an in-progress major in Psychology! I live very close to the campus at present. I have worked with children as a teen and volunteered as a summer camp counselor while in high school. I am applying for childcare, pet care, and household assistance positions. I am able to cook, clean thoroughly, and run errands when instructed. I am an expert in all things outdoorsy and arts and crafts, and I am happy to facilitate activities of these sort along with anything the child and parents may prefer!
I have a BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) from USF. I am a licensed Realtor . I like to stay busy and have volunteered for over 30 years with a local hospital. Since Covid, I am not longer doing that. My greatest joys in life are my two sons and six grandchildren. I am active and enjoy taking my grands to the park and the pool. I also enjoy helping home schooling them. I have volunteered at my church for years, often taking people to doctor appointments and chemo. I have my own car and am able to run errands if needed. I love cats and dogs. I enjoy walking dogs. The last dog I took care of, Sunny, needed long walks. We did 3 miles a day plus. This was in Idaho. Not sure that is practical in Tampa in the summer.
