Geminiaya 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Geminiaya, I have worked with kids of all ages. I was a summer camp counselor for kids in 5-8 grade and I also babysit my little cousin who just turned 5. I love taking care of children because I always get to see a smile on their face.

“I couldn't have asked for a better babysitter! Geminiaya was absolutely wonderful with my sweet angel. She was kind, patient, and kept my little one entertained the whole time. From fun activities to making sure bedtime went smoothly, everything was handled perfectly. My child couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had! I felt completely at ease knowing that he was in such great hands. I will definitely be booking Geminiaya again. Highly recommend!”

Hi! My name is Camila, I’m 20 years old and I live in Doral. I’m currently studying Business Administration at FIU. I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and enjoy doing activities with them such as playing, arts and crafts, reading, helping with homework, and keeping them entertained. I’m also happy to help with light meal preparation and keeping their space tidy. I also love animals and have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playing with them. I’m comfortable around both small and large dogs also cats. My goal is to make sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I have experience working with children of all ages. I worked as a summer camp counselor for two summers with 7–8 year olds, planning activities and managing groups in a fun and safe environment. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support for children with autism. I have experience with ages 2–14.
