Babysitting & Date Nights in Northwood, Wesley Chapel, FL
In-home babysitting for one family at a time, on evenings, weekends and school days.
How we do babysitting in Northwood
Northwood in Wesley Chapel, FL 33544: One of Wesley Chapel's oldest CDD communities: Pasco County created the Northwood district in April 1995, and the homes date mostly from the mid-1990s and early 2000s around a clubhouse, pool, tennis and basketball courts on Big Sur Dr, just north of the Hillsborough county line. Built from 1995, Northwood has original owners who stayed and families who bought resales, so the same street can need a sitter and a companion visit. We are just down Bruce B. Downs in New Tampa, and Wesley Chapel is where most of our visits are.
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 from Wiregrass. 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. Northwood is zoned for Denham Oaks Elementary, Dr. John Long Middle, Wiregrass Ranch High in Pasco County Schools.
Real-estate listings call Northwood gated, but the CDD states its roads are owned, maintained and operated by Pasco County, and neither the CDD nor the HOA site describes a gate. We confirm how to reach your street at the meet and greet. The clubhouse, pool and courts require a resident access card. 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.

Babysitting in Northwood: questions we get
Who runs the Northwood pool and clubhouse?
The Northwood CDD, not the HOA. The clubhouse at 27248 Big Sur Dr, the pool, the tennis and basketball courts and the playground require a resident access card, with amenity hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the pool open dawn to dusk. A sitter taking your kids swimming goes as your guest under the district's rules.
How much does a babysitter cost in Northwood?
$24/hr with a 2-hour minimum, plus $3/hr per additional child from the same family. Overnights are $165/night from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. That includes dinner, homework, the bedtime routine and a tidy-up before we leave.
Can you pick my kids up after school in Northwood?
We do not provide on-demand transportation services, so if your school is walkable from home we can meet them and walk home. Otherwise we meet them at the door and the homework hour starts there.
Can you take my kids to the Northwood pool or playground?
Playground and trails, yes. Pool or clubhouse only with your written permission and your resident fob, and only when you have told us which kids can swim. 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.
Do you serve New Tampa as well as Wesley Chapel?
Yes. We are based in New Tampa (Tampa, FL 33647) and work in Wesley Chapel, FL every day, so we keep both school calendars.
