Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child

I come from a big family myself, having 3 siblings, so I can appreciate differences in schedules and hobbies. During my undergrad time, I had the opportunity one summer to start babysitting a 9month old for a few hours a day, a couple days a week. Eventually, I became a full time, live-in nanny for the family. This involved early-morning to late evening care Monday-Friday plus some weekends. Some days were spent hanging around the home or going for walks in the neighborhood, while other days involved outside excursions like day trips to the science center or taking the child to weekly gymnastics. While I lived with the family, I would help with household chores such as regular cleaning and prepping meals. I recently graduated with my MS in Sport and Exercise Science, so I am excited to spend some time outside of school and take on new challenges. Currently, I am a group fitness instructor with a couple different companies, and I am looking for an alternative to fitness to help fill my schedule. I really enjoy any opportunity where I get to meet new people and experience a new setting.

Claudia $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a single mother of 3 grown kids. Two are away at college, the other is a HS Junior and is never home. I am basically an empty nester. I miss having young kids around and I am looking to make some extra money to help with expenses. I am available most evenings and weekends. I especially love babies and toddlers. I also have a dog and am comfortable with pets. I am also happy to assist with elderly for companionship as well as errands. I was an elementary school teacher as well as a pre-school teacher for many years. I changed careers yrs ago because as a single income household my teaching salary was not enough. I work in the financial services industry currently from 8-4 daily.

Hi! I’m Jenny, a friendly, dependable, and energetic caregiver located in Jacksonville, Florida. I’m a proud mom of two grown sons and a 12 year old rescue pit bull with over seven years of professional nanny experience, along with many years of hands-on parenting and household management experience. I have a naturally upbeat, outgoing personality and genuinely enjoy helping others. Whether I’m caring for children, spending time with pets, assisting seniors, or helping a busy family stay organized, I approach every job with patience, compassion, and a positive attitude. I’m CPR and BLS certified, organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable multitasking in busy households. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with errands, grocery shopping, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, pet care, and general household organization. I’m currently looking for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend opportunities. I have excellent references available upon request. I’m easygoing, reliable, and not afraid to jump in wherever help is needed. My goal is to make your life a little easier while providing dependable, quality care.
