Find a last-minute babysitter in Tampa, FL

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.

Hi parents! My name is Dina 😊 I have several years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to elementary school. I previously worked in a daycare for 2 years, caring for children from infancy up to age 7, and I’ve continued babysitting regularly for families in my community. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and very hands-on — I love engaging with kids through play, creativity, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I also have experience in early childhood education and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow in a positive environment. Families would describe me as patient, energetic, and trustworthy. I take pride in creating a fun but safe space for your children while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to help your family — feel free to reach out! 💛

Hi! My name is Ashley, I’m going into my junior year of college next semester, and I’m 20 years old. I’m looking to babysit/nanny/dog sit this summer! I dog sat and occasionally baby sat for a family my first year of college but I have never formally had a job as a babysitter- however I’ve had jobs and done volunteering that have dealt with kids. I worked in a uniform clothing store last year. The clothing store had uniforms for many private schools and I would help children pick out their uniforms. I volunteered for 6 years every summer for vacation bible school and was in charge of a group of kids each week. I can drive kids (I have a car), am very good at arts and crafts, can tutor, and I’m athletic so I like outdoor activities. I am very patient, caring, kind, respectful, and easy to work with. I have a lot of free time this summer and would love to help babysit/nanny children!

As a mother of a 21-year-old son now in college, I bring over two decades of hands-on experience in parenting, caregiving, and supporting children’s growth and development. Throughout my son’s childhood, I was actively involved in his school community as a “team mom,” field trip chaperone, classroom volunteer, and consistent presence at school and extracurricular events. Before and after my son’s birth, I worked with school-age children and daycare programs on military bases in Florida and New Mexico. I also have extensive experience providing babysitting support for families and friends, stepping in for both regular care and occasional coverage when needed. As a parent, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and attention to individual household routines. I’m mindful of dietary needs, preferences, and any family-specific guidelines, and I always aim to create a balance between fun and structure while respecting each family’s expectations. I recognize that every household operates differently and adjust my approach accordingly. Parenthood has also taught me flexibility and calm problem-solving. I’m comfortable handling unexpected situations with patience and responsibility, addressing minor issues independently while keeping parents informed when something requires their attention. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a focus on child and adolescent development, which strengthens my understanding of behavior, communication, and age-appropriate engagement. I genuinely enjoy working with children, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and positive interactions in a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.

Hello!! My name is Alyssa. I’m currently a nursing student off for summer looking for opportunities to babysit when my schedule allows. As of right now I have full availability on weekdays/most weekends but my schedule will change in August as the fall semester begins. Experience: I’ve worked as a sub and in infant/toddler childcare back home. I also was a soccer coach for littles (1-7y/o) my freshman year of college with Happy Feet! This past year I have been occupied with nursing school and clinical rotations aiding in patient care. I grew up with two younger siblings and have watched over many younger cousins. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats (as long as they are comfortable with me). I do not mind participating in household chores as needed! I love crafting, going on walks and am very attentive and organized. I also have my BLS certification and get regular background checks/drug tests, etc. for my nursing program :)
