Babysitting & Date Nights in Basset Creek Estates, New Tampa (Tampa, FL)

Basset Creek Estates in New Tampa (Tampa, FL 33647): Mobley Homes subdivision of four-to-six-bedroom single-family homes inside K-Bar Ranch in New Tampa, within Tampa city limits, with its own community pool, basketball court and playground. No official home count is published; it is one subdivision within the K-Bar Ranch development. A lot of the households have both parents working and the grandparents out of state. We live a few streets over in Cross Creek, on the same side of the county line.

Babysitting is in your home, for one family at a time, following your routine: dinner, homework, bath, the bedtime you set, and a tidy kitchen when you get back. We never do drop-off or group care and we never bring children to our house, and that is what keeps a babysitter outside Florida's child-care licensing rules. Basset Creek is zoned for Pride Elementary, Benito Middle, Wharton High in Hillsborough County Public Schools.

We have not found a published gate for Basset Creek itself; the wider K-Bar Ranch describes only some sections as gated. We confirm the route to your door at the free meet and greet. The amenity center is resident-fob restricted, so if you want us at the pool or clubhouse with your kids or your dog, we need your fob. We do not take children to a pool without your written permission and your fob. In the rainy season the storms come through between 3 and 6 in the afternoon, so afternoon visits are timed around them. Date nights run $24/hr with a 2-hour minimum, $3/hr per additional child from the same family, and an overnight is $165/night.
