Isabella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Isabella, I’m 21 years old, and I plan to attend Florida International University in January to study Management Information Systems (MIS). I offer childcare, pet care, and household help. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, although childcare has been part of my life for much longer. My mom has been a full-time nanny my whole life, and growing up I often went with her to work, so I learned a lot about caring for children from an early age. At 15, I spent a summer caring for two boys, ages 6 and 8, preparing meals, taking them to the pool, and keeping them entertained throughout the day. At 17, I babysat a 4-year-old girl and planned activities such as crafts, outdoor time, and walks with her dog. Since 2022, I worked consistently with one family for about four years. It was originally my mom’s full time job but once she moved I took over. I started by walking their dog several times a week and also babysat their son, who was 10 when I began. Over time, the family trusted me with much more, including pet sitting, house sitting while they traveled, running errands, making returns, and helping with anything they needed while they were away. I continued helping their family until this year, and I really value the long-term relationships and trust I’m able to build with the families I work with. I’m also very comfortable with animals of all sizes. I have experience with Saint Bernards and Golden Retrievers, as well as smaller pets, including a bunny. I’m a huge animal lover and have cats of my own. I’m responsible, dependable, caring, and comfortable taking initiative when needed. Whether you need someone to care for your children, pets, home, or help with everyday errands, I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can rely on.

Melany $20 per hour for 1 child

Throughout middle and high school, I spent a lot of time volunteering to take care of kids, whether it was helping out at summer camps, after-school programs, or babysitting for family friends. I also work at a daycare. Those experiences sparked my passion for working with children and taught me how rewarding it can be to be a positive part of their lives. I’ve always made it a priority to create a safe, welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for, while also making sure they’re having fun—whether that means turning everyday tasks into games, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they can laugh and talk with. I bring a bright, upbeat personality to everything I do, and I love being the kind of person kids can look up to and trust. For me, it’s not just about keeping kids safe and entertained—it’s about making them feel seen, valued, and excited to be themselves.

Emma 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in West Miami, FL

Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Emma. I am a 45-year-old bilingual Hispanic caregiver with over 10 years of professional experience in caregiving. I have lived in Florida for the past 40 years and was raised in Wisconsin. I am a U.S. citizen and a graduate of Coral Gables Senior High School, class of 98'. My passion for caregiving began through volunteer missionary work, where I spent more than two decades supporting families and children through a non-profit organization. This experience deeply shaped my values-compassion, patience, and attentiveness-which are especially important when nurturing and guiding young children. While I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with a background in high-acuity medical settings, including time in the Cardiovascular ICU at the University of Miami Hospital, I've have cared for children in private households. I have a clean driving record. My skill set includes creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I am CPR/BLS certified, hold an Associate Degree from Miami Dade College, and have worked with high-profile families, ensuring a high standard of professionalism and discretion. I enjoy supporting children with their daily routines, helping with homework, organizing enriching playtime, preparing healthy meals, and providing consistent guidance with warmth and patience. I live in the Coconut Grove area, lead a healthy lifestyle, and do not smoke or drink. I am reliable, trustworthy, and deeply committed to helping children feel safe, supported, and confident as they grow. Multiple professional references are available upon request. I see childcare not simply as a job, but as a meaningful opportunity to support young minds with kindness, consistency, and positive engagement.
