Hello parents! My name’s Renee. I am a high school graduate and a college student majoring in Education. I’m CPR certified with 8 experience and I’ve worked with all ages (0-13 years old). I grew up & wasraised around young children since I was 5 years old. My mom worked in the nursery at our church, and I enjoyed seeing them learn day by day. After elementary school I volunteered my 8th grade year with my second grade teacher and also in the special needs classroom, because I was home schooled. It was a great learning experience for me and also gave me some experience with school age children. There’s a daycare there and I worked with the children everyday. I’ve been on Care since August 2012, since I was a freshman in high school. If you have any questions or would like an interview, message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Hey guys!
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I absolutely love kids- they are all incredible and especially unique in their own ways.
I have been working as a personal assistant/nanny tobusiness owners, doctors, law enforcement agents, vacationers and various professional families. Prior to nannying, I worked as a teacher assistant, business assistant, and hospitality manager.
My favorite thing about care giving is teaching children firsts like tying shoes, and just watching the kids grow.
Outside of caring for children, I enjoy exploring and going on adventures with friends.
I look forward to connecting with you….

Hello! Growing up, I could be found playing house with my dolls and playing school. My family jokes I was preparing my career as a nanny before I even knew what the word career meant. Ha! I graduated almost 20years ago with a degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Development. Unfortunately, my time has come to an end with my current family. I have been with them for 6 years and have helped raise 2 amazing kiddos that will forever be a part of me. I have the most experience with infants and toddlers (and multiples). Here is a quick run-down of my usual responsibilities: preparing healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks, keeping play area clean, transporting children, scheduling play dates and activities, creating fun learning activities in the home, children’s laundry, giving lots of love and encouragement, and just overall helping make mommy and daddy’s lives a little bit easier knowing their babies are safe and loved.

Learn more about how to set competitive rates for attracting the best babysitters.

The best way to find child care near you is to post a job detailing your needs on Sittercity, which will be shared with our community of available babysitters and nannies.

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies.

Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option.

Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

They’re happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Top 25 Things to Do in Jacksonville, Florida / Travel Guides

Jacksonville is in a very interesting geographic location in northeast Florida where the St. Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
As you can imagine, water sports are very popular here among the Jacksonville beach communities along the adjacent Atlantic coast. From swimming and surfing at nearby Barrier Island beaches like Neptune Beach and Jacksonville, there are plenty of opportunities.
If you’re looking for something a little more land-based, you’ll be pleased to know that the city is proud of its golf courses, including the famous Ponte Vedra Beach TPC Sawgrass, headquarters of the PGA Tour. There are also many museums and cultural offerings to keep you and the approximately 1 million residents here!
Let’s take a look at best things in Jacksonville :

1. Cummer Art and Garden Museum

Source: flickr
Cummer Art and Garden Museum
Housed in a series of twentieth-century buildings, the Cummer Museum opens onto the St. Florida’s active waterway. This is a fabulous museum for children that tries to teach them to appreciate art! There is a large section of the museum dedicated to interactive displays that allows parents and children to explore and understand how art has changed over time.
The collection is particularly strong in American and European paintings and includes over six thousand works of art dating from 2100 BC to the twenty-first century. The museum also has three flower gardens, the oldest of which dates back to 1903. Beautiful all year round, especially in the spring when the orchid exhibition is shown. !

Catty Shack Ranch Sanctuary
The sanctuary is an excellent place for the care and rehabilitation of feral cats. Most importantly, once an animal is adopted, it is guaranteed to have a loving home forever as Sanctuary does not breed or sell any of its animals..
Children in particular will enjoy “meeting” residents ranging from tigers, lions, leopards, bobcats and cougars. Try, if possible, to stop by to witness the night feeding which starts with a guided tour followed by a feeding in which the keepers go to hand first to feed these magnificent animals!
It is obvious how much the volunteers love their work and all the animals, each assistant is ready to answer all your questions. Mandatory for all ages. The sanctuary has a snack bar and portable toilets..

A must for the whole family and especially for your children who are interested in science and history as the museum specializes in exhibitions of science and local history. It features the main exhibition, which changes quarterly, as well as three floors of permanent exhibitions, including the Brian-Gooding Planetarium.

Fountain of Friendship
After visiting the Museum of Science and History, I hope you will have time to walk around the neighborhood to see the Fountain of Friendship. Built in the 1960s, it has over 60 jets that shoot water up to 120 feet!
In particular, it is a wonderful sight at night, as the fountain lights up with colorful lights, creating a beautiful show. The park surrounding the fountain has enough picnic tables and benches to make it a nice snack or picnic for you and your family..

One of the neighborhoods, Five Points, is now a vibrant bohemian area with fun cafes, antique shops, unique shops and a family attraction whether it’s just to admire the beautiful architecture or enjoy a walk around the area. .
Just a two mile drive on State Road 221, it’s just outside of downtown. Stroll down King Street, which now boasts local breweries including Intuition Ale Works and Bold City Brewery (with soft drinks for the kids), and for lunch there’s always Southern Roots gas station serving local food with a healthy twist!

Named for the Timukan Indians who lived there before the arrival of the French explorer Jean Ribot in 1562, more than 30 Timukan-speaking tribes who inhabited central and northern Florida and southeastern Georgia, whose culture is believed to have remained unchanged for more than 1000 years, unfortunately, unfortunately, by 1800 the tribe disappeared.
Walking along some of the nature trails, you will have a great chance to meet dolphins, shy manatees and some birdlife. learn a little about Florida’s past.
