Hi! I’m Sierra, a caring and dependable babysitter with 8 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I also have experience working with children with autism and developmental delays. I recently graduated from nursing school with my ASN, and now I’m in school completing my BSN. This gives me a strong foundation in child health, safety, and first aid. You can feel confident knowing I bring both childcare experience and medical knowledge to every babysitting job. I have current CPR and First Aid certifications. My last job lasted 2.5 years and was with a family of 3 kids. I can provide references
Hello! Great to meet you! I am from Jamaica and have been here in Clermont, FL (and an American citizen) since 2004! I am an officer with the Lake County Sheriff's Dept, and I am CEO of a non-profit organization called Dorca's Way (You can find info on Facebook). We have monthly food drops for people in need. I enjoy caring for pets and helping others so much, I would love to help out families who need part time or occasional help. I have ten years experience pet sitting, dogs and cats, and I am especially wonderful with feisty senior dogs.

Hi! My name is Rocio and I have experience as a teacher assistant in a beautiful Montessori school.I have three amazing children being raised in a bilingual household. I'm offering child care and senior care.
Hii! My name is Mariangely but you can call me Mary, I'm 18 years old and currently enrolled in college. I have CPR/first aid certification. I have two years of experience with kids from newborn to 11 years old and feel comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, comfortable setting and following household rules, and I believe open communication with families is really important. Caring for children is something I truly love. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy helping kids learn and grow through play, whether that's outdoor activities, board games, puzzles, or fun educational activities. I have a 10-year-old sister who means a lot to me and a dog that I love, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and caring for others. I'm always happy to share updates by text, phone, or in person. Being a reliable and supportive sitter truly makes me happy, and I'd love the chance to babysit for your family!!

“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. ”

"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!"
