I am a native Spanish speaker and understand very little English, which makes my services a great fit for families who prefer to communicate in Spanish. With over 10 years of experience caring for children, I’ve developed strong qualities such as patience, reliability, and attention to detail. However, I now focus exclusively on household cleaning and related tasks — I no longer provide childcare services. Over time, I discovered that household cleaning is truly my specialty. I genuinely enjoy it, and it motivates me to bring out the best in every home I care for. I’m extremely detail-oriented and thrive on keeping spaces spotless and organized. My strong sense of order means I notice the small things others might overlook, and I take pride in going above and beyond to maintain a fresh, clean, and welcoming environment. Families I’ve worked with appreciate not only my reliability and efficiency, but also my very high standards of cleanliness. Household work is where I excel most, and I’m motivated by the satisfaction of creating a home that feels comfortable, peaceful, and well cared for. ----------------------------------- Hablo español y entiendo muy poco inglés, por lo que las familias que se sienten cómodas con el español encuentran en mis servicios una excelente opción. Tengo más de 10 años de experiencia cuidando niños, lo que me ha hecho una persona paciente, responsable y atenta. Con el tiempo descubrí que la limpieza del hogar es realmente mi especialidad. Me gusta mucho, me motiva y me da satisfacción poder sacar lo mejor de cada casa en la que trabajo. Soy extremadamente detallista y me gusta mantener los espacios impecables y organizados. Mi fuerte sentido del orden me permite notar hasta las cosas más pequeñas que otros pueden pasar por alto, y me enorgullece ir más allá para asegurar que el ambiente sea fresco, limpio y acogedor. Las familias con las que he trabajado valoran no solo mi confiabilidad y eficiencia, sino también mis altos estándares de limpieza. El trabajo en el hogar es donde más destaco, y me motiva la satisfacción de crear un espacio cómodo, tranquilo y bien cuidado.

“She did amazingly! Very thorough!”

Booked by 2 families in Phoenix, 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!!!”
