Yodalis $16 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate person with a genuine passion for caring for others. I grew up in a close-knit household raised by one parent alongside my grandparents, which taught me from a young age the importance of patience, responsibility, empathy, and caring for loved ones. That upbringing inspired my passion for helping others and continues to shape the way I provide care today. I have experience delivering compassionate, personalized in-home care, ensuring clients feel comfortable, safe, and respected in their own homes. I assist with personal hygiene, cleaning, and daily household tasks while offering emotional support and companionship. I enjoy working with people and building trusting relationships with clients and their families. I am dependable, attentive, and kind, and I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where clients feel valued, understood, and well cared for.

Marcy Y $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there. My love for children and animals too has always been a part of me, as long as I can remember, but when my brother was born, I was almost 10 and that was when I really fell head over heels in love with children. He was my living doll. He wanted nothing to do with the babysitters at his wee little age, so at 10 years old I was babysitting him and doing all the things one would do for a little one,i.e. feed, burp, change poopy diaper, and give him lots of loving attention.1[removed] After high school graduation that summer, I nannied a toddler, beautiful, darling little girl, and got her off diapers, the bottle and taught her how to swim. Also, I have extensive experience with stranger babysitting, as I had done services in Orlando, Vegas and So Cal. 1990-2000 I have taken children to Disney World, Epcot, Universal Studios through the dolphin and the Swan hotels in Orlando. In Vegas, I would take children to the New York, New York, roller coasters, or wet and wild or other hotels that have roller coasters or water parks, etc. And then in Southern California, I would take them to various places such as Disneyland universal anywhere their parents would want me to take them. I have taken care of special needs children as a one time coming over to help relieve the parent’s them for a much-needed break in Vegas sometimes so they could go to casino so I’d be there all night. In SoCal I was a nanny for three families. I lived at one family’s house and then worked for two other families while I went to college for a two year program before I found the families I had done the stranger babysitting. When I first moved back home to Florida, I was going to go back to my nanny place for stranger babysitting but it was based out of Orlando and since I live in Lakeland, I decided against it ultimately so I was excited to see this one based in Lakeland. 2017-2018 - 2020-2022 in Lakeland nannied for 2 girls one autistic baby and 2 dogs 2018-2019 hi Lakeland Mandy for two boys two dogs a I did do pet sitting in Lakeland. I had my own baby, Betty Boo, but she recently passed. I kind of did it for her so she would have friends. I do love children, and I like playing with the children (without the phones) You can learn so much from children They say the funniest things. They are such comedians. I love to watch them grow and impart into them even though they really are the inspiring ones. I’d love to meet your little ones, if given the chance. Take care.
