I'm a mother of two children myself but they are all grown up one of them is 35and the other one is 27 I love to be around small children and having fun with them by making them smile I’m also a grandma to a 8 old granddaughter and a 6year old granddaughter who I adore very much.

“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. ”

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!

Lisa $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children and supporting families. I grew up on Long Island, New York, with my parents and brother, and from a young age I was very active in dance, gymnastics, skiing, ice skating, and soccer, which I continued through college. Staying active and enjoying the outdoors are still a big part of my life today. For the past 24+ years, I’ve been a devoted stay-at-home mother raising three children while also volunteering at school, coaching soccer, and assisting with other youth sports. We currently have two boys in college and an 11th-grade daughter attending Bishop Moore Catholic High School. I’ve been happily married for 27 years and truly value family, health, nutrition, sports, swimming, outdoor adventures, and creating a positive home environment. My childcare experience began around age 10 as a mother’s helper, and I worked closely with several families from ages 18–30. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with little ones. I’m positive, easygoing, patient, consistent, and enjoy laughing, playing, crafting, baking, reading, and making everyday moments fun and engaging for kids. I also have personal experience parenting a high-functioning autistic son, now 24, which has given me added patience, understanding, flexibility, and compassion when supporting children with different personalities and needs. While I’m not overly focused on technology, I appreciate the ways it can be useful and prefer building real, meaningful connections with children and families. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing, active, and dependable environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
