Patient, Fun, and Reliable Caregiver with a Lifetime of Experience

I am a professional dancer and educator with a passion for caring for little ones—both human and furry! Back in Argentina, I worked as a dance teacher for young children, which helped me develop a patient, attentive, and creative approach to childcare. Whether it’s following an infant's nap schedule or keeping a toddler engaged with fun activities, I prioritize safety and joy in everything I do.

I am also a lifelong pet owner (dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs!). Since moving to Miami, I’ve missed the company of my own pets, so I treat every animal I care for with the same love and dedication I give my own. Since I work part-time from a home office, I have great schedule flexibility and can be there whenever you need a reliable hand. I look forward to meeting your family!

Dedicated Babysitter

Hi there! My name is Tiffany and I'm a fun and reliable 19-year-old! I'm currently studying to be a RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) My experience with babysitting is somewhat limited, but I have extensive experience caring for my younger siblings and other relatives and children of family friends.

I'd prefer a full time position, but am open to other possibilities/opportunities, including becoming a nanny when I have the appropriate experience.

My other interests and abilities include meal preparation, cleaning/housekeeping, creative activities, reading, and communication/instruction - which I can do fluently in both english and spanish.

As I'm currently reliant on ride apps and family for transportation, work in South West Dade is preferable, but I am open to discuss other possibilities. Please feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to meeting you and working with your family!
