I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development and previously worked as a social worker, where I supported families and helped children thrive emotionally and developmentally. Now a stay-at-home mom to my 3-year-old, I understand firsthand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids can feel secure and have fun. I bring patience, reliability, and a nurturing approach to every child I care for—whether it’s engaging playtime, healthy routines, or gentle guidance.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 9 families in Jacksonville, FL

Hi! I grew up in Jax and just moved back here. I’m in grad school and love kids so would love to get to know other families in the area. Happy to babysit date nights or spend time with kids doing their favorite hobbies!

Tanmeeka was amazing! She helped us out last minute and was super punctual. We had her watch our two kids (ages 2.5 and 5.5) at a hotel for a few hours while we went out. She took them to dinner at the restaurant, had a dance party and played games with our kids. I will definitely be using her again next time we are in NYC!
