I love children and animals! I enjoy caring for them and i enjoy teaching kids and helping them grow. I’ve been a babysitter all of my life and i’ve recently got into caring for animals! My schedule is a little weird right now as I am currently still working full-time as a 1 year old teacher but looking for more flexible hours and i’m willing to work around my schedule to accommodate the families as well!
Hi there! I’m Angelina, a 20-year-old pre-nursing student at Valencia College. I’m also a part-time Nursing Assistant on a high-acuity floor at a major local hospital. I’m proud to be a President’s List recipient. I provide high-level safety, structured educational support, and warm, patient-centered care to babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to 10 years old. I have diverse experience, including managing care for the youngest children in a large busy family and supporting neurodivergent children with deep patience. My healthcare background has rigorously trained me in RQI BLS/CPR (Adult & Infant), emergency response, and strict safety protocols. I also have quarterly hands-on competency evaluations. I can provide an engaging caregiver to help keep kids on track with learning, specialized infant care, or peace of mind for a date night. I have my own reliable transportation and look forward to partnering with your family!
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.
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.
Hi! My name is Laylah, and I'm currently working toward my comprehensive Pilates certification. I recently worked full-time as an assistant infant teacher, caring for babies ages 6 weeks to 13 months, so I have hands-on experience with feeding, diapering, nap schedules, and supporting early development. I've also worked as a gymnastics coach for team-level girls, which means I'm comfortable managing multiple kids at once while keeping things fun, structured, and safe. As the oldest sister to two younger brothers, I've always naturally taken on a nurturing and responsible role at home too. I love creating engaging activities, reading with kids, helping with homework, and making sure children feel safe, supported, and cared for. My goal is always to build trust with both kids and parents while providing reliable, attentive care. I would love the opportunity to help your family!
