Monica $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Monica and I’m a Tampa-based babysitter and university student offering reliable child care for families in the area. I’ve been caring for kids for years and genuinely enjoy it. I also grew up helping take care of my two younger brothers, so being patient, responsible, and attentive comes naturally to me. Throughout high school, I babysat consistently for multiple families in Miami and gained experience with kids of different ages. I’m happy to help with homework, play the games your kids enjoy, and make sure bedtime routines go smoothly. I’m friendly, dependable, and safety is always my top priority. My goal is always to make sure your kids feel comfortable, happy, and well taken care of while you’re away.

Availability: short-term overnight support. I am a certified postpartum doula and infant nanny! :) Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! Experience: I have been in the childcare field full time as an infant nanny turned postpartum doula for 11 consecutive years now. I have cared for children as young as 12 hours old :) I share my most experience caring for the newborn - 18 month olds (baby led weaning, baby sign language, etc) but have plenty of experience with 2-5 year olds as well! I have worked with families of twins, children with behavioral challenges (ODD), children on the Autism spectrum and children who need extra assistance due to physical differences. My specialty is infant care! While babies are napping I am happy to help with light housekeeping. Education: B.S. in Childhood Development Birth-Kindergarten + Psychology. I am Infant+Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have SIDS safe sleep training. I practice the Reggio Emilia approach (child-directed and constructivist) as well as Montessori. Appropriate language and conscious discipline are important to me. About me: I love to travel! I have cared for families in MA,FL,GA & NC so far. I enjoy painting, being outdoors/hiking, swimming, dancing and eating healthy snacks. Transparency and open communication with families is key for me. If you'd like to get to know more details / background feel free to shoot me a message! ** Update: I have a 4hr day minimum, although I do not have to be physically present for all 4hrs if not needed. For postpartum care, 10hr shifts overnight / 24/7 care / travel care / surrogacy journeys / first time parent education! Feel free to message me anytime.

“Destiny is awesome! Highly recommend if you have a chance to work with her! She’s immediately warm and comforting to baby. She’s also very knowledgeable about child development and plays with baby in developmentally appropriate ways. Super professional and makes you feel comfortable that baby (6.5 months) is in great care. ”

Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.

Booked by 1 family in Riverview, FL

Hello everyone, my name is Sophia and I am currently a student at the University of South Florida! I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and being around kids. I volunteer at an elementary school every week, providing tutoring services in English. Fostering educational and learning opportunities for children is important to me--I am open to providing tutoring services during babysitting shifts. Beside tutoring, I also am part of a subbing agency where I work with children from ages 1-5. I am dedicated to creating safe and comfortable environments for your children while you are away. I also have skills in cooking and crafting. I also have experience pet-sitting. Responsibilities included walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping company. I love all animals, but dogs and cats are most up my alley! I volunteer for a senior care agency, where I call seniors with chronic illnesses 2-3x a week to check up on their physical and mental health--fostering real relationships. I do not feel comfortable providing medical care. Responsibilities I would be open to provide: Driving, running errands, cooking, and spending time with them. Feel free to message me with any other specific responsibilities you are looking for! I provide many household services: cooking, cleaning, laundry, organizing, etc. I will not be able to bring my own supplies, so they will need to be provided.
