I am a "get down on the floor and play" kind of babysitter. Former Elementary Teacher Certification. Taught middle school 6 years and a parent/child interaction program for 17 years which included part preschool and part parenting instruction. CPR and First Aid certified. COVID vaccinated.

Julie was absolutely amazing! She was with us for almost 2 years and was always patient and caring. She started when our daughter was about 10 months until she was almost 3. She helped teach my daughter how to count, her ABCs, and more. Julie would read and do crafts with my daughter and was always coming up with creative ways to keep her busy and engaged. She also assisted with taking her to storytime and My Gym. She truly goes above and beyond and my daughter loves her! 

Julie has helped care for my daughter for nearly 3 years. As a first time mom, I was nervous to have anyone else watch my child, but Julie was amazing from day one. She is communicative, punctual, reliable and most importantly - it’s apparent that she loves my daughter. One of the many things I appreciate about Julie is that she strikes the perfect balance between being open-minded in receiving feedback and guidance on how I want my daughter to be cared for and offering advice based on her experience. She has been an integral part of my daughter’s growth and development - and even mine as a mother! She cares for my daughter like she were her own, and I could not possibly recommend her more. 

Julie is a 5 star nanny/babysitter! She has been wonderful with my daughter. I love that I can trust her 100%. She is super knowledgeable and has an extensive background in child development. A great resource for a new mom like me. Can not recommend her enough.

 Julie is reliable, trustworthy and very attentive to my kids.  She has been working with my family for 2.5 years and has never been late, always keeps me updated on how the kids are doing and really has become a part of our family.  My incredibly shy son loves her to pieces because she has made him feel so comfortable and literally gets down on the floor to play with him. She has been such a blessing to our family!  

Oh my, where do I begin??? Julie was simply amazing. My husband and I have not had date night since God knows when and we were excited yet nervous about going. Julie made us feel so comfortable leaving the little ones with her and she even texted me while we were to let me know how they were doing and when they'd fell asleep. The kicker is that when we got back, they were ALL asleep! This includes the baby (who never sleeps in his crib) who was in his crib when we came home! We are so blessed and grateful for Julie and will definitely be hiring her again! 

Julie was wonderful with my two children (6 and 3). She made sure they were ready to go in the morning and got them to the bus on time. She was very understanding when our schedule changed unexpectedly and we no longer needed care. Had that change not happen, we would have gladly kept her helping out our mornings for the whole school year.

Julie has taken care of my 3-year-old son twice a week for nearly a year in her capacity as a mother's helper. Because of her, I have been able to utilize the time she is with him to get things done around the house and run errands with the confidence that his needs are being met and that he is having substantially more fun with her than he would be having with me. He is smitten with her. He talks about her when she is gone and asks when she will be back. When she returns, he does laps around the house because he knows no other way to express his excitement. As far as he is concerned, she's just another member of our family. She is far more than I ever expected to find in a babysitter and I feel lucky to have done so. Since she began caring for him, my son has learned how to spell his name, recite his address (including city, state, country, continent, and planet) and to count to 30. The numbers he can't count to, he can identify on sight. He knows all his uppercase and lowercase letters and every shape under the sun. He has started to write here and there and he has shown interest in learning to read. I like her approach to teaching him things based on his interests. She follows his lead and incorporates learning wherever possible. My favorite thing about Julie is that she cares about my son. No one can love a child the way his mother does, but Julie comes close. My son will be starting preschool in the fall and while I believe that it's the best thing for him, I'm also sad for him that she won't be coming as often to see him. I also wish I could keep her for myself.

Julie is a fantastic support! I can leave the house knowing that not only will my kids be well taken care of and will complete their homework and chores before I return, they are also having fun. She has gone above and beyond my expectations! 

We absolutely love Julie. She was fabulous with our son. I loved how many activities she did with him. From taking him to the park, to coloring, to just driving cars. She kept to my schedule for him which is very important to me. I also loved that she would reach out when she knew he was doing something to see how it went. I will continue to use Julie for our occasional sitter.

I am a mother of two girls, 5 and 3.  My family and I have know Julie for over 10 years both personally and professionally. We were neighbors and we became good friends.  Once I had children, I took a Mommy and Me class that Julie taught.  She was an incredible teacher to the children and the moms.  She is very aware of the developmental stages of children and the methods to enhance their intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. 
By setting appropriate boundaries and structure, she cares for the entire child and his or her needs.
Julie and her family are really great people.  When we would leave our children with Julie, we came home to find that they were not ready for us to come home!  The had so much fun and they were well taken care of. The house was clean and so were the kids!
Julie and her family moved to Tampa from South Florida about 2 years ago, and we miss them so much.  If you choose Julie as a babysitter, you will be very lucky and happy!
