Lesyanis $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lake Monroe, FL

Hi! My name is Lesy and I’m a 23 year old aspiring Elementary School teacher or Nanny with seven years of childcare experience. Red Cross trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I’m dependable and naturally organized. One of my greatest strengths is that I don’t become easily overwhelmed. A messy kitchen, change of plans, or a little chaos is something very manageable for me! I love finding thoughtful ways to keep children engaged and curious. In my free time I sell baked goods, craft, and sew, and I love incorporating those interests into creative activities. I love cooking and preparing food from scratch and I’d be happy to help out with meals, snacks, homework, and light household work. Because I have a shellfish allergy myself, I take dietary restrictions seriously! I make sure to read labels carefully, and prevent cross contamination at all times. I have completed an early childhood development course, bilingual in English and Spanish, currently learning sign language, and have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. My goal is to be someone parents can genuinely depend on and feel confident that their child is in responsible hands. I’m comfortable working in homes with dogs. I do have a cat allergy. One cat is generally manageable for me, but I’m unable to work in homes with multiple cats.

Angelina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Angelina, a 20-year-old pre-nursing student at Valencia College. I’m also a part-time Nursing Assistant on a high-acuity floor at a major local hospital. I’m proud to be a President’s List recipient. I provide high-level safety, structured educational support, and warm, patient-centered care to babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to 10 years old. I have diverse experience, including managing care for the youngest children in a large busy family and supporting neurodivergent children with deep patience. My healthcare background has rigorously trained me in RQI BLS/CPR (Adult & Infant), emergency response, and strict safety protocols. I also have quarterly hands-on competency evaluations. I can provide an engaging caregiver to help keep kids on track with learning, specialized infant care, or peace of mind for a date night. I have my own reliable transportation and look forward to partnering with your family!
