Hi, I’m Eva! I’m an incoming freshman and psychology and computer science major at the University of Florida. I’m moving to Gainesville this fall from Daytona Beach, where I’ve been babysitting for the past six years. I’d love to find a local family (or families!) that I can regularly help while I’m at UF, and I have a flexible class schedule that allows me to work around your family’s needs.I’ve completed babysitting courses and safety training, and I’m happy to obtain CPR certification if needed. I also have a clean driving record and am comfortable with pickups, drop-offs, and taking kids to activities. I’m responsible and dependable, but I also genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and making babysitting fun!

Hi! My name is Montana and I'm a sophomore at the University of Florida. My classes are all online so I have a very flexible schedule. I've been babysitting for over five years, working with kids from newborns to pre-teens. For the past 5 years babysitting has been my primary source of income, so I’ve gained plenty of knowledge in experience in working with kids. During my senior year of high school, I worked as the head instructor for an aftercare program, where I managed a group of 15 kindergarteners. This responsibility taught me how to be a more patient, and reliable babysitter, while also improving my communication skills between parents and staff. This past year I also worked as a part time nanny, where I transported two kids to and from school everyday, and provided them care and supervision whenever needed. I'm very patient, friendly, and adaptable to each family's preferred parenting style. I also prioritize strong communication with parents to make sure they always feel comfortable and everything runs smoothly. I have my own electric vehicle, so I'm able to help with transportation like pickups, drop-offs, or activities without the concern for gas money. Im also CPR and first aid certified. My number is (561) 931-7395. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!

Hello! I am a 26 year old female currently enrolled at the University of Florida in the college of nursing accelerated program.From 2018 to 2021 I worked at Baby Gator Lake Alice as a volunteer, then a substitute, and then as a full time teacher. I worked with 6 month olds to 5 year olds.

This was from August 2021 to December 2021.In the next family, I took care of 2 and 4 year old girls. This was from December 2021 to June 2022.In the next family, I took care of a 3 month old baby, from June 2022 to May 2023 due to starting nursing school. I still occasionally sit for this family.Throughout all my nanny jobs I completed tasks such as providing safety, creating learning opportunities and activities, read books, drove to libraries and parks, made breakfast, lunches and snacks, cleaned up with the kids, and much more. While I am in nursing school I am working part time as a registered behavior technician at Bass Therapy.I am CPR certified & Covid vaccinated.My days are busy from early mornings to 5pm during the week.
