Hi! My name is Lucy and I am 19. I graduated with my AA degree from Crown College last year and currently work in healthcare with retired US veterans. I am currently in search of additional work hours in the hopes of putting more money into my savings. I am first-aid and CPR certified, and have my driver's and lifeguarding licenses. I am willing to do housework, meal prep, help with homework, and get children to-and-from daily activities if applicable. My schedule can be flexible, though I will need two weeks to communicate and coordinate any major changes with my other job. Thank you!
Hello! I am Maddy and I am a student at the University of South Florida. I am offering child-care and dog-care services (open to other pets, just no previous experience). I love working with children, and I have experience with all ages, and I have worked the most with ages 4-9. I have experience driving children, making simple meals, tutoring, arts and crafts, and gymnastics coaching! I worked at Little Feet Children’s Shoes and North Shore Gymnastics Association in high school and have babysat for my younger cousins. I am comfortable with dogs and have watched dogs for family and friends. I look forward to working with you!
Hi, I’m Giulia. I’m 23 years old and I’m from Italy. I’ve been working as a nanny for over a year and have experience with newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers. I also worked in summer camps (6-12yo kids). I’m a very sociable and friendly person who enjoys working with children. I am a caring, energetic and dependable nanny who loves spending time with children. I enjoy helping them learn new things, be creative, and have fun while making sure they feel safe and supported. I don’t have any problem with pets (I have a dog and two cats!)
“Giulia was punctual, kind, and easy to work with! Our son had a lot of fun with her. We’d be happy to have her babysit again! ”
Hello! My name is Acacia and I am a mom, entrepreneur, and avid animal lover. I have a great deal of experience with children of all ages. This experience comes from raising my own kids and from giving a helping hand to siblings and friends when they have needed it. In my early twenties I also worked for a year as a personal care attendant mostly with seniors, but also with a few children who had disabilities as well. In addition to this, I have also cared for my own grandparents in times of need and my father when he was fighting cancer. I grew up on a hobby farm which fostered a huge love of animals in me. I have a lot of experience with a large array of animals and currently own my own business in petcare that I do during the week. I am comfortable with most aspects of petcare and I am currently certified in pet first aid and CPR. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones better!
Hi - My name is Alex and I'm currently working part-time at Living Christ Early Learning Center. I am offering occasional childcare and cat care. I love taking care of kids and have taken care of newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school agers on a regular basis since I started as a childcare volunteer in 2017. I can do it all with any child, from feeding, changing, and getting a baby to sleep to driving school aged children to and from extra curricular activities. I really love to drive all over as well. I can help around the house with mild cleaning, cooking, and cat care as well (I grew up with cats). While I have very little experience with dogs and haven't officially offered any kind of dog care, I am open for discussion on the matter if you are to ask. The most important thing to know about me is that I'm a devout follower of the Lord Jesus Christ! God has truly gifted me when it comes to children! I'm here because I want to meet a lot of new people and, most importantly, to show them the love of Christ by serving in any way I possibly can (most especially by taking care of His most precious little lambs). By the way, in case you didn't notice, I'm a guy! I'm grateful to God that I can be a positive male role model to children, which I believe there is an extreme shortage of in this society! If you're interested in my help, NEVER hesitate to call me at [removed] or message me. I'd love to get to know you and see how I can help you and your children as best as I can.
