I love watching dogs and watching them inspired me to get a puppy of my own! Dogs must get along with my puppy and he loves to play! Long walk and the dog park are guaranteed with me.

Tracy $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Tracy. I’m a mother, grandmother, and experienced caregiver with a background in pediatric nursing. I’ve spent many years caring for infants, babies, and toddlers and truly enjoy supporting children during these important early years. My pediatric nursing education and clinical experience gave me a strong foundation in child safety, health, and early development. Families often appreciate the calm, confident approach I bring to childcare, along with the added reassurance of my medical background. As both a mom and grandmother, I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their child. I focus on creating a warm, safe environment where children feel secure and supported. I’m very comfortable with infant and toddler care, including feeding, diapering, nap routines, and supporting developmental milestones. I enjoy reading with children, outdoor walks, music, and play that encourages curiosity and early learning. Parents often tell me they feel at ease leaving their child with me because I’m calm, attentive, and experienced in recognizing children’s needs and keeping them safe. I live in Seminole and am currently available for part-time childcare with infants or toddlers.

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!

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.

I know how hectic life gets and I am here to make it a bit easier for you. I assist in keeping busy families running smoothly by providing caregiving services to those you love the most. My educational background in psychology and over 10 years' experience in human services ensures that you have someone working for you who will keep your loved ones engaged, safe and happy. When you choose me, you are choosing someone who will become an extension of your family. That is able to assist with not only the fun things but also those issues that are more challenging.
