Hi, my Name is Lawanna Beal. I have had many years of Baby Sitting experience with my Neighbors kids, and an Agency many years ago. My current Experience has been with my Sister's children. I have been Baby Sitting them for her very often. She is disabled and she cannot care for them. I started to lightly Babysit them when they were 13 years old. I continued to babysit them until 17 years of age, very often. I assisted with Tutoring, Cooking, Cleaning, Arts and Crafts, walking, sports. I also have lightly cared for them when they were an infant, for many years. She became very seriously disabled, and I was responsible for babysitting and caring for them, almost Full Time. I can provide services, for Infants, Toddlers, and Teenagers.
I enjoy taking care of those around me.I love being able to help facilitate a healthy environment for younger children to grow. Therapy has helped me learn coping strategies. I also now have a better understanding of healthy behaviors and communication skills. I’d love to teach younger kids skills and strategies to help them when they’re older so that way they’re already equipped with what they need to help cope in the moment. To me a big part of babysitting is not just watching the child but also helping them learn and grow so we can all watch as they develop into their own person.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Tampa for work.

Experienced & Compassionate Babysitter | Special Needs Friendly
Hi, I’m Sami!
Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, and with over 15 years of experience, I can confidently say it’s something I truly love. From babysitting throughout high school and college, I’ve had the joy of helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment.
My passion for childcare deepened when my youngest brother was diagnosed with Autism at age two. Growing up, I worked closely with him and his therapists, gaining hands-on experience in supporting children with diverse needs. This, along with my degree in Psychology from San Diego State University, has given me a unique understanding of child development, behavior, and learning differences.
Whether it’s engaging in creative play, helping with homework, or providing extra support for children with special needs, I bring patience, warmth, and a whole lot of enthusiasm to every family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and provide them with the best care possible!
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Clearwater for work.

Hi, I’m Sami!
I have over 15 years of experience caring for children, starting as a babysitter throughout high school and college. Now, as a business owner, I have some extra time and would love to continue working with families in need of a reliable and compassionate caregiver.
I graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Psychology, which has given me a strong foundation in child development and behavior. My passion for working with children deepened when my youngest brother was diagnosed with Autism at age two. Growing up, I had the unique opportunity to assist in his care, collaborating closely with his therapists and learning firsthand how to support children with different needs.
In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked extensively with children who have learning disabilities, providing patience, understanding, and tailored support to help them thrive. I genuinely love children and having the opportunity to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child in my care.
