Savannah is a skilled, patient, compassionate babysitter. She helped my kids have fun at the pool and beach on our trip! I appreciated her fun spirit and safety certifications. Would not hesitate to hire her again.

What parents pay (US average)
Gainesville parents love their sitters.
Real five-star reviews of Gainesville babysitters, written by the families they sat for.
Jordyn did a stellar job taking care of our two children. She was punctual and communicative. She was attentive to our son's needs and texted regarding any questions that arose. All around Jordyn is a trustworthy caregiver who provided peace of mind and a positive experience for both the kids and us.
Sarah did great with my kids on a day where their attitudes were not the best. Both kids took a nap for her, and they wanted her to stay for supper, lol.
Emma was great. The next day, our 7 year old said “she was less stern than others in our family,” and then showed us how she kindly redirected our baby. And he said he enjoyed playing with her. So overall he gave a big thumbs up.
