In-home babysitting for one family at a time, on evenings, weekends and school days.
How we do babysitting in The Ridge
The Ridge at Wiregrass Ranch in Wesley Chapel, FL 33543: GL Homes' gated single-family community on SR 56 inside Wiregrass Ranch, planned for 564 homes around an 11,691-square-foot clubhouse and a five-acre recreation complex, with a staffed gatehouse at the entrance. There are 564 homes here. A lot of the households have both parents working and the grandparents out of state. 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. The Ridge is zoned for Wiregrass Elementary, Dr. John Long Middle, Wiregrass Ranch High in Pasco County Schools.
The Ridge has a staffed gatehouse. Add us to your guest list before the first visit so the gate can admit us; we confirm the authorization 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.

Babysitting in The Ridge: questions we get
Can a babysitter take my kids to the clubhouse pool?
Yes, on your resident access. The resort pool, water slide, kids water play area and indoor sports complex are resident amenities, so the sitter goes as your guest under the club's rules. Tell us at the meet and greet how your family signs guests in and we follow that every time.

$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 The Ridge?
We do not transport children in our vehicles. 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 The Ridge 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.
