Booked by 2 families in Seffner, FL

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 Seffner, 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.

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Seffner, FL

I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.

“Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her. ”

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.

Christina $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Christina. I have around 6 years of babysitting experience caring for children between the ages of 2 and 10, along with growing up helping care for my younger brother. I have always loved being around children, and I treat every child I care for with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own younger sibling. I strive to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where children feel supported and cared for. I am responsible, dependable, patient, nurturing, and attentive to each child's individual needs. My experience includes everything from watching children for a few hours to providing overnight care and transportation when needed. I am comfortable adapting to different family routines and helping with daily responsibilities to make parents' lives easier. I am currently a full-time online student at the University of South Florida, which gives me a flexible schedule and greater availability for families. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the children I care for and becoming someone parents can trust. My goal is to make sure every family feels comfortable leaving their children in my care and that every child feels safe, happy, and loved while I am with them.
