Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

Provided childcare for families with children ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Worked as a classroom assistant at my synagogue for two years, assisting with children ages 7–8, collaborating with the teacher to help teach the Hebrew language and about Jewish culture. Served as a camp counselor for two years, supervising children ages 6–8 and ensuring their safety and well-being during both indoor and outdoor activities. Worked with children ages 2–4 in my high school preschool program, helping lead educational and developmental learning activities. Volunteered at Camp Jenny - an organization that gives children from an impoverished community an overnight summer camp experience that includes a variety of activities, sports and team-building exercises. At Camp Jenny, I was responsible for overnight care and supervision of children ages 7–8 and assisted with daily camp activities and routines. I would describe myself as a very loyal, flexible and responsible person who’s easygoing and enjoys creating a comfortable, positive environment. I like doing simple, fun things like game nights or movies nights in, and I’m always open to learning new things and trying new experiences. I am dependable, adaptable, and I try to bring calm and friendly energy wherever I am!

Booked by 1 family in Zephyrhills, 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.

Ava $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ava. I am a college student and am offering child and pet care. A little to know about me is that I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and studying languages (currently learning Spanish and American Sign Language). Outside of school, I work as a swim instructor/lifeguard and work seasonally at a local farm. Child Care I have experience across all age ranges, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. Over the past 4 years, I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor managing large groups of children, and for the past year, I’ve taught swim lessons to infants and young kids. I also have years of experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins. I tend to focus on active, and engaging play for children. I love organizing outdoor games, arts and crafts, and cooking. I am also happy to help with water safety, tutoring, homework, transportation and meal prep. Certifications: Red Cross Lifeguard, CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified. Pet Care I was raised in a multi-pet household with pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for standard household pets as well as exotic animals, including rodents, livestock, reptiles, birds, and amphibians. I offer daily feeding, enclosure/habitat maintenance, custom care routines, and much more.

Laura $17 per hour for 1 child

I come from a family with two younger siblings and two older siblings, so I’ve always been around and comfortable caring for children. I’ve also volunteered with children through dance and community programs. Living on my own for the past year has helped me become very responsible and independent, especially with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and managing multiple tasks at once. I’m outgoing, kind, patient, and dependable. I’m comfortable keeping children entertained while also making sure they are safe and supervised. I’m able to multitask, stay calm when things get busy, and complete responsibilities in a timely and safe manner. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and am comfortable caring for children of different ages and personalities.
