Booked by 1 family in Gotha, FL

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.

Genesis $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! my name is Genesis and I'm 32 years old. I have lived in the United Estates for three years and I have worked for five years as a babysitter. I also have 4 wonderful nephews and I took care of them since they were babies. I am a kind and sweet person. I love music, yoga and being in nature. I am currently doing my CPR and first aid certification and also I have medical background because I have a bachelor’s degree in Histotechnology ( I graduated in my home country) so I have an strong sense of responsibility and safety. Working with children is a very rewarding job for me because I have an opportunity to be creative and joyful. I like to have a good communication with the parents and I always follow the rules of the house. I'm currently improving my English, but I'm putting all my effort :) feel free to contact me with any question. thank you!!!

Lesyanis $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gotha, FL

Hi! My name is Lesy and I’m a 23 year old aspiring Elementary School teacher or Nanny with seven years of childcare experience. Red Cross trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I’m dependable and naturally organized. One of my greatest strengths is that I don’t become easily overwhelmed. A messy kitchen, change of plans, or a little chaos is something very manageable for me! I love finding thoughtful ways to keep children engaged and curious. In my free time I sell baked goods, craft, and sew, and I love incorporating those interests into creative activities. I love cooking and preparing food from scratch and I’d be happy to help out with meals, snacks, homework, and light household work. Because I have a shellfish allergy myself, I take dietary restrictions seriously! I make sure to read labels carefully, and prevent cross contamination at all times. I have completed an early childhood development course, bilingual in English and Spanish, currently learning sign language, and have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. My goal is to be someone parents can genuinely depend on and feel confident that their child is in responsible hands. I’m comfortable working in homes with dogs. I do have a cat allergy. One cat is generally manageable for me, but I’m unable to work in homes with multiple cats.
