Judine $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Judine, and I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with a strong healthcare background. I currently work as a Patient Care Associate in the ICU and Mother/Baby Unit at a well known hospital, where I provide attentive, hands on care to patients and families during some of life’s most important moments. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud mother to a kind, loving, and brilliant 6 years old, which has deepened my understanding of children’s needs, safety, and emotional development. I offer flexible, part time childcare and senior care services to families seeking trustworthy and nurturing support. I have experience caring for newborns through senior citizens in both hospital and private home settings. I take great pride in being a professional who genuinely cares about the well-being, comfort, and safety of those entrusted to me. I would love the opportunity to support your family and work together to create a safe, caring, and positive environment. Sincerely,
Judine

Yasmine $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a current 3rd year medical student interested in pursuing pediatrics and pediatric psychiatry. I am officially trained in CPR [Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Basic Life Support (BLS)] for both adults and children. As part of my medical training, I have helped care for children of all ages in both outpatient and inpatient settings including those with learning differences or neurodiversity. As a middle child, I have experience with older and younger children which informed my approach to babysitting (and conflict management 😊). I am comfortable taking care of and working with both young and older children. On a personal note, I am a Florida native with immigrant parents from South America, thus I have a native proficiency in Spanish and I love soccer. Also, I have a background in art. I am open to preparing meals for children as long as any allergies, dietary restrictions, or preferences are disclosed in detail. I am comfortable with pets in the home if they are well-behaved/trained and have no history of causing any illness, injuries, or bites to others. For transparency: pet-sitting is not one of the services I offer. In addition, I have experience as a summer school teacher and tutor for middle school and high-school students. I offer tutoring for middle school, high school and college levels in the following areas: basic sciences, biology, general chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy/physio, psychology, neuroscience, history, writing, reading, college and medical school application essays, SAT/ACT/AP exam in the aforementioned subject areas, MCAT exam (behavioral science and CARS sections). I have experience tutoring since I was in middle school, high school, college and have continued to do so in medical school. For your convenience, I am more than happy to overlap tutoring with baby sitting depending on the number of children and their ages. For example, if there are two kids to be watched and the older one is being tutored, I would feel more comfortable if someone else was home supervising the other child if that child is very young at least for the duration of the tutoring session.
