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.

Andie $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there I am Andie! I am a junior at the University of Central Florida and have babysat here and there throughout the years. I am outgoing and can take care of children while adhering to their needs. I have taken care of children ages 2 and up and am able to cook, drive, and possibly help them with their homework. I also can dance and tumble and enjoy all things active. I love pets and can help with feeding, cleaning up after, and walking dogs/cats.

Lesyanis $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Altamonte Springs, FL

Hi! My name is Lesy and I’m a 23 year old aspiring Elementary School teacher or Nanny with seven years of childcare experience. Red Cross trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I’m dependable and naturally organized. One of my greatest strengths is that I don’t become easily overwhelmed. A messy kitchen, change of plans, or a little chaos is something very manageable for me! I love finding thoughtful ways to keep children engaged and curious. In my free time I sell baked goods, craft, and sew, and I love incorporating those interests into creative activities. I love cooking and preparing food from scratch and I’d be happy to help out with meals, snacks, homework, and light household work. Because I have a shellfish allergy myself, I take dietary restrictions seriously! I make sure to read labels carefully, and prevent cross contamination at all times. I have completed an early childhood development course, bilingual in English and Spanish, currently learning sign language, and have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. My goal is to be someone parents can genuinely depend on and feel confident that their child is in responsible hands. I’m comfortable working in homes with dogs. I do have a cat allergy. One cat is generally manageable for me, but I’m unable to work in homes with multiple cats.

I’m a college student available for summer babysitting. I’m flexible with hours and have experience caring for toddlers and older children. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and completed Advanced Childcare Training through the Red Cross. I enjoy engaging kids with Legos, music, and creative activities. Reliable, responsible, and safety-focused—I’d love to support your family this summer!

Gabriella $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Gabriella, and I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in legal studies. I am currently applying to start a Master’s Degree program in Clinical Social Work. Working with children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel privileged to support parents and guardians by helping make their days a little easier while ensuring their children are happy and safe. I enjoy collaborating with families to create daily routines and activities that spark creativity, laughter, and joyful learning. Whether providing long-term care or occasional visits, I strive to provide the highest level of care for every child. My experience includes in-home care for children ages 16 months to 12 years, working in a residential behavioral health facility with teens, afterschool programs, and summer camps with groups of 15–30 children. I’ve also volunteered with the Orange County Bar Association, supporting children in foster care with sourcing school supplies, mental health resources, and extracurricular opportunities. The best part of my work is seeing children laugh, learn, and grow. I look forward to bringing that joy to your family and building meaningful connections with your children.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
