A little bit about me
My name is Arielle, I'm 20 years old, and I am a junior in college. I am currently earning my BA in Criminal Justice, and plan to go to law school after college, following in the footsteps of my Mom! I have had a stable job at Chick-Fil-A Archer Road (as their Drive Thru Director) since high school, but I am looking for something new yet familiar! I have a lot of siblings ( 7 in total, some full, half, and step siblings, most of them younger) and genuinely love caring for, hanging out, and bonding with children. I love cooking, baking, reading, spending time with my family, music, and travel! At 16, I had to opportunity to babysit a 1 year old until he was about 4. I did so at least twice a month but sometimes multiple days a week! My favorite thing about kids is their genuine curiosity and questions about the world around them! I love finding fun and different ways to explain or approach the newness kids encounter almost every day in their environment.

A little bit about me
Hey there, I’m Zac! I'm a lifelong kid at heart who loves working with kids just as much as they love keeping me on my toes. I’ve spent the last few years coaching and refereeing youth soccer, spending my summers as a camp counselor at Camp Crystal Lake, and working in an elementary after-school program. I’ve seen it all, from scraped knees to unstoppable giggles and I love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun along the way.
While my experience is mostly in kids from 6-15 I am always open to something new and would love experience with younger kiddos as well.
I’m currently taking a gap year to figure out my next adventure, so my weekday schedule is super flexible (just not weekends). I bring a lot of energy, patience, and humor to everything I do whether that’s playing outside, helping with homework, or just being a positive role model.

A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Mila, and I just started my freshman year at Santa Fe College as an elementary education major. I'm here in Gainesville for the school year, having recently moved from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I'm looking for a babysitting position. I am First Aid & CPR certified and have my own transportation, so I can transport kiddos if needed! I have experience with all ages from babysitting in the past and having two younger siblings. I also work as an EDP leader for Alachua County Public Schools. My availability hours are listed on my profile. Weekdays will be difficult for me to adjust, but I am pretty flexible during the weekends and could possibly make time that works for you. I would love to get in touch and help some families out this school year!
