I am a dedicated and compassionate person with a genuine passion for caring for others. I grew up in a close-knit household raised by one parent alongside my grandparents, which taught me from a young age the importance of patience, responsibility, empathy, and caring for loved ones. That upbringing inspired my passion for helping others and continues to shape the way I provide care today. I have experience delivering compassionate, personalized in-home care, ensuring clients feel comfortable, safe, and respected in their own homes. I assist with personal hygiene, cleaning, and daily household tasks while offering emotional support and companionship. I enjoy working with people and building trusting relationships with clients and their families. I am dependable, attentive, and kind, and I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where clients feel valued, understood, and well cared for.
I have a strong background working with children through coaching, teaching, and community programs. As a Head Tennis Coach and Academic Instructor, I've spent years mentoring young people, helping them build confidence, develop life skills, and navigate challenges both on and off the court. I've directed youth summer camps, led children's tennis clinics, organized family-focused community events, and worked closely with parents to support each child's growth. While much of my experience has been in coaching and education, the part I enjoy most is building individual relationships and helping children thrive. I've spent years mentoring students one-on-one, providing structure, encouragement, and guidance tailored to their unique needs. I am patient, dependable, nurturing, and attentive. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, positive environment where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to learn, grow, and be themselves.
Hi! My name is Pamella, I’m 29 and originally from Brazil, currently living in Poinciana, FL. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from 4 months to 11 years old. I was an Au Pair in the U.S. from 2[removed] and have continued working as a nanny since then. I’m CPR certified, responsible, patient, and families describe me as trustworthy and very attentive with children. In addition to childcare, I also offer house cleaning and pet care. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to cleaning and take pride in keeping homes organized and spotless. I’m also a pet lover and have two large dogs and three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m a confident driver and comfortable helping with transportation if needed. I’m available full-time on weekends and on weekdays after 6pm. I’d love to connect with families looking for reliable help.
“Pamela did an amazing job cleaning my home. She went above and beyond and was super sweet. Will definitely hire again.”
I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.
“Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her. ”
Hi! I’m Alexis and I am a 24 year old nanny and tutor. In 2024 I graduated from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor’s in Liberal Studies. In my degree program I have spent over 100 hours in classrooms, teaching and observing various grade levels. I have also done private tutoring and babysitting for several years. In my spare time I like to read, paint, and go for walks with my dogs. Most people would describe me as bubbly, energetic, and down to earth. I hope I am a great fit as your sitter!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
