Children have always brought me joy, I played a big role in helping my mother raise my little brother who is 7 years younger than me. Through that, I became what one would call a second mother to my sibling, still raising him to this day. He taught me how to have patience and kindness towards children and their emotions. I feel that any issue can be talked through and resolved. It has also allowed me to be able to connect with kids through their interests. We heavily believe in treating others how you want to be treated, having school work come first, and how to have clean and safe fun.
Hi! My name is Sofia and I am currently a senior in high school and planning to go to USF in July. I have been working with kids since 7th grade so I'm trying to find some babysitting jobs before I move to Tampa later in the summer. I have experience with children ages 1-12 through being a summer camp counselor, daycare assistant, and teaching kids how to swim at Goldfish Swim School. I can drive, have my own car, and am willing to provide transportation. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime!
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Bithlo for work.

Hi there! My name is Anna, I'm 19 years old. I have a deep love for pets and a passion for learning new things. I share my home with two adorable kitties who are a big part of my life, so if you have cats, that’s a bonus!
Over two years during high school, I gained valuable experience supervising children aged 2 to 11. I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with them, and I always strive to keep them entertained and engaged while ensuring they follow the rules. While I haven't had the opportunity to potty train a child yet, I'm eager and willing to learn and adapt to new challenges.
I’m excited about the chance to meet you and your family, and I look forward to the opportunity to provide a fun and caring environment for your little ones!
