A little bit about me

Hello! I love helping little ones grow and expand, I know the first five years are crucial to brain development. So to start off my story I grew up babysitting my younger brother and helped him potty train and learn how to read. Next I became a lifeguard was certified in CPR and first aid and helped watch kids of all ages and saved a couple from drowning. Then I volunteered in a daycare center for 2-3-year-olds in a church for a couple of years. Finally I was an instructional assistant for autistic preschoolers and was trained in CPR, First aid and how to help autistic children. I take pride in helping children learn how to play kindly with others and learn reading. I always serve with love and kindness. Am taking a break this semester from school so I have an open schedule, need cash jobs for now please. In the future I want to be a therapist. Willing to help out with laundry and meal prep. Able to work with all ages. CPR & First Aid Certified.

A little bit about me

I’ve been passionately involved in childcare for over five years, cherishing every moment spent fostering safe, creative, and educational environments for children.

In 2020, sparked the creation of my own summer camp, which has since been a thriving hub where children can explore, learn, and grow during the summer months. Running the camp has honed my organizational skills, creativity, and adaptability, ensuring every day is as enriching as it is fun.

Why do I love babysitting? It’s simple: every day brings a new adventure and a new opportunity to positively impact a young life. The smiles, the laughs, the “aha!” moments—these are the rewards that fuel my passion and commitment to childcare. I look forward to continuing to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore their potential.

A little bit about me

Hi there! I started my babysitting experience taking care of kids in my neighborhood at 16, then I was a camp counselor at Sun Country for 2 years, and after that I worked as a full-time nanny for a family for two years. Now that they have moved, I am looking for a new family to care for and love! I have cared for up to three children at once, and I have lots of infant care and twin experience. I also have done errands, housekeeping, laundry, food prep, and dog sitting for the family I nannyed for. I am a student at UF, but I am also from Gainesville, so I am very familiar with the area. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I love kids!
