Booked by 1 family in Orlando, FL

I'm originally from the UK and moved to the states about 4 years ago. Over the past decade, I have gained diverse experience working with children of all ages, which has shaped me into a compassionate and versatile childcare provider. I had the privilege of being an aunt to my nieces, learning the joys and responsibilities of nurturing and guiding young minds. For two years, I worked as an au pair in a different country, which broadened my perspective and honed my ability to adapt to different cultural environments. I learned to respect their individual needs, and foster a loving, supportive environment while ensuring open communication with families. As a certified swim instructor for 8 years, I have taught children of all ages and skill levels, from toddlers to teenagers. This role has not only developed my ability to teach essential life skills but also allowed me to form strong, trusting relationships with the children I work with. Additionally, I spent two summers as a counselor, working with children ranging from 7 to 16 years old. These summers solidified my leadership and problem-solving skills, and I learned how to create a positive and safe environment where children can express themselves, build friendships, and grow.

Lauren $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I go by Kennedy! I am AHA BLS certified and I’m always prepared for anything, whether it be entertainment, an ouch, or a snack break, I’ll have my sitter kit ready (mess-free art, fun stickers, basic medical, and a snack bag with hand wipes) I love the randomness and wonder with kids, if they decide they want to be a dinosaur today then more power to em’! I’ll gladly translate their homework to pterodactyl. I am a reliable, punctual commuter dedicated to providing high quality in-home care for families in Orlando.

Lisa $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children and supporting families. I grew up on Long Island, New York, with my parents and brother, and from a young age I was very active in dance, gymnastics, skiing, ice skating, and soccer, which I continued through college. Staying active and enjoying the outdoors are still a big part of my life today. For the past 24+ years, I’ve been a devoted stay-at-home mother raising three children while also volunteering at school, coaching soccer, and assisting with other youth sports. We currently have two boys in college and an 11th-grade daughter attending Bishop Moore Catholic High School. I’ve been happily married for 27 years and truly value family, health, nutrition, sports, swimming, outdoor adventures, and creating a positive home environment. My childcare experience began around age 10 as a mother’s helper, and I worked closely with several families from ages 18–30. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with little ones. I’m positive, easygoing, patient, consistent, and enjoy laughing, playing, crafting, baking, reading, and making everyday moments fun and engaging for kids. I also have personal experience parenting a high-functioning autistic son, now 24, which has given me added patience, understanding, flexibility, and compassion when supporting children with different personalities and needs. While I’m not overly focused on technology, I appreciate the ways it can be useful and prefer building real, meaningful connections with children and families. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing, active, and dependable environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.

Wilmary $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Wilmary! I’m a college student working toward a degree in the medical field, and I’m CPR certified. I have a natural love for kids. I’ve babysat for my family throughout my life, especially caring for my younger cousins, helping with playtime, meals, baths and homework. I also have experience caring for infants, such as feeding, soothing, and putting them to sleep. I’m patient, reliable, and kids love spending time with me because I keep things fun while also making sure routines are followed. I am also happy to help with cleaning, pet care, or small errands. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to help out as needed, even on short notice. While I’m not available full-time, you can count on me when something comes up. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child I care for.

Booked by 37 families in Orlando, FL

I'm a mother of two children myself but they are all grown up one of them is 35and the other one is 26I love to be around small children and having fun with them by making them smile I’m also a grandma to a 7year old granddaughter and a five year old granddaughter who I adore very much.

Denise was very communicative, and even shared her location with us when she was en route to meet us at our hotel. She listened to our instructions and followed them exactly. Usually our daughter freaks out when we leave her with a new sitter, but the second time Denise watch her, she didn’t cry or fuss at all at drop-off, which is always a great sign.
