Hello! My name is Rachel, I am 33 years old and currently work as an office manager at a law firm in Saint Petersburg. I graduated with my bachelors in marketing when I was 27 and took some time off to travel throughout Europe! I briefly went back to school to become an RN but unfortunately it was during covid so I had to take a step back. I plan on retuning to school and getting a degree in the medical field. I don’t have any children but a lot of experience babysitting for friends and family for over 8 years. My hobbies include cooking, reading, and any outdoor activities! I love animals and have a Boston terrier named ravioli and two cats. I am very excited to be able to babysit for you and can’t wait for all the fun!

Hi, I’m Grace! I’m currently a Junior at Eckerd College and I’m looking for a babysitting job while I’m at school.I’m 20 years old and live in Plainfield, NH, when I am not in St. Pete.After my freshman year of college, I had a summer job working as a camp counselor at the Meriden Community Camp (NH) with kids aged 6-11.This job made me responsible for the safety and support of 10 children in our group with my co-counselor, where we would take them on outdoor activities off campus, provide meals, and have lots of fun, as well as teaching respect for others.This past summer, after my sophomore year of college, I worked at a preschool in Hanover, NH, called La Petite Creche.Here, I was an assistant teacher to 3-5 year olds, but on short staffed days and combined recess I also had experience in the toddler room (aged 1.5 to 3).I occasionally also helped out in the infant room, so I feel confident working with children of all ages.I also babysit occasionally at home for a family with a 4 and 6 year old.I love playing and coming up with new games for kids, and I’m also happy to take care of anything around the house, like cleaning and cooking.I also feel competent navigating conflicts with children and helping to teach them to be safe and respectful. I always have a great time working with kids, so I’m pursuing my degree in elementary education and would love the extra experience getting to know you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
