Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m currently in school for Medical Billing and Coding and working as a Pre-k Teacher’s Assistant. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, starting as a babysitter when I was 15. I have worked in the school system for over 5 years as an assistant for various grades and as a lead Pre-k teacher. I also have my bachelors from UCF in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’m just looking for something part time on the side to make some extra money while I’m in school. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi Families! ♥︎ My name is Isabella, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teenagers. One of my most valuable experiences was working as an Au Pair for two years, where I lived with a wonderful family and became a big part of the children’s daily lives. I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, transportation to sports and activities, homework, meals, playdates, bedtime routines, and everything in between. What I love most about childcare is building genuine connections with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and be themselves. I am naturally very patient, caring, and energetic, and I truly enjoy being involved in the activities children love. I am a very creative person and enjoy planning crafts, games, outdoor adventures, baking activities, story time, imaginative play, and age-appropriate learning activities. I believe children thrive when they are engaged and having fun, so I try to keep screen time to a minimum and encourage hands-on activities whenever possible. I also volunteered as a teacher’s assistant in a kindergarten classroom and have experience caring for children with medical needs, including administering asthma medications and inhalers under parental guidance. In addition, I am a Certified Phlebotomist, which has given me professional healthcare experience and strengthened my attention to safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, a non-smoker, comfortable around pets, have reliable transportation, and maintain a clean driving record. I have been living in the United States since 2017 and am happily married. Families often describe me as dependable, trustworthy, kind, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I always strive to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is simple: to create a positive experience for both parents and children, and to become someone your kids are excited to see again! I look forward to meeting your family! ❤️
