Booked by 2 families in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi! My name is Floriana, I’m 37 and originally from Italy. I have several years of experience working with children from ages 2 to 15 as a babysitter in both Italy and Ireland. I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids and teenagers. In addition to childcare, I also offer household support such as tidying, laundry, dishes, light organization, running errands, and general home upkeep. I’m very organized, proactive, and comfortable helping families keep their homes running smoothly. I’m also an animal lover and happy to help with pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re busy or away. I consider myself reliable, punctual, and easy to work with. I value trust, clear communication, and building positive relationships with the families I support. I enjoy creating calm, organized spaces and helping wherever I can to make daily life a little easier.

She was wonderful, came early and immediately started playing with both kids. She even took them to the pool and made me Mother's Day cards. I wish we lived closer so we could make her one of our regulars! I highly recommend her!!!
