Emily $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily and Ive been working in educational childcare since 2018 with a focus on children with intellectual and physical disabilities. Im going to USF for speech pathology and would love to babysit for your family. I am CPR trained. I do my best to avoid screen time and will opt for low stimulation shows when possible! I have my own car and no speeding tickets, so Im willing to help with pick up and drop off or any other driving based errands. I love to read, paint, and try new recipes and would love to share that in an age appropriate way, especially with themed arts and crafts options! I grew up going to Montessori schools so that philosophy is very important to me. Please let me know if you are interested and I am flexible on pricing!

Dayana $17 per hour for 1 child

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.

Yodalis $16 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate person with a genuine passion for caring for others. I grew up in a close-knit household raised by one parent alongside my grandparents, which taught me from a young age the importance of patience, responsibility, empathy, and caring for loved ones. That upbringing inspired my passion for helping others and continues to shape the way I provide care today. I have experience delivering compassionate, personalized in-home care, ensuring clients feel comfortable, safe, and respected in their own homes. I assist with personal hygiene, cleaning, and daily household tasks while offering emotional support and companionship. I enjoy working with people and building trusting relationships with clients and their families. I am dependable, attentive, and kind, and I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where clients feel valued, understood, and well cared for.

Hannah $15 per hour for 1 child

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!
