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 my name is Jessica, I am 26 years old, I am applying to graduate school to become a speech therapist. I can speak a fair amount of ASL as I have taken ASL 1, 2, and 3 in college. I love animals of all kinds, I love working with kids, and I have a lot of experience working with kids as well. I have experience working with kids with autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I volunteer at my church with kindergarten to 5th grade kids, I was a gymnastics coach at Browns gymnastics and Ace gymnastics for a year, I volunteered at freedom ride, I babysit for a few families, I was a nanny for a boy with a disability, I also was a nanny for a 3-year-old girl, I was an ASL teacher for children 6 weeks to 5 years old, I have experience as a registered behavior technician, and I am currently a speech therapist assistant. I am great with kids and they tend to love having me watch them. I am also CPR and first aid trained. I hope to hear back from you. Thank you for your consideration.
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.
Hi! I go by Kennedy! I am AHA BLS certified and I’m always prepared for anything, whether it be entertainment, an ouch, or a snack break, I’ll have my sitter kit ready (mess-free art, fun stickers, basic medical, and a snack bag with hand wipes) I love the randomness and wonder with kids, if they decide they want to be a dinosaur today then more power to em’! I’ll gladly translate their homework to pterodactyl. I am a reliable, punctual commuter dedicated to providing high quality in-home care for families in Orlando.
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!!
