$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Haines City, FL

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!!

“She was amazing!! On time! My son wind up getting sick unexpectedly and she handled like a pro til I got home! 10/10 recommend she’s so sweet and nice and professional I will definitely use her in the future!”

Robert $16 per hour for 1 child

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bob. I took an early retirement to take care of my mother and father after they fell ill. I didn’t want others taking care of them, especially when I was fully able. It was an honor to care for my parents until their passings, and gave me a feeling of deep satisfaction. I am able to cook, and do a great job keeping the house clean and tidy. I have an adult daughter, and two grandchildren, whom are the loves of my life. I enjoy spending time with them, yet they stay very busy with school and outside activities. That leaves me time to share my experience with other children and seniors. My compassion, kindness, patience, and understanding, helps me relate to multi-generations. I am usually available on short notice, and look forward to meeting you, and helping with you or your loved one’s daily needs. My favorite volunteer job was participating in meals on wheels. Many times I was the only contact my seniors incurred with the outside world. I enjoyed brightening their day, and gave them the extra love and attention they deserved. I have very reliable transportation, having just purchased a new car in June 2026. I also have a Yorkie named Maisie, and a cat named Socks. I love animals, and they love me. I often take care of other people’s pets when they are out of town, or unwell. Please consider meeting me in person, so we can get to know one another, and discuss your specific needs. I am living my best life with a positive attitude and a warm heart. I don’t use drugs or alcohol, and would be willing submit to random drug testing, and a background check, I look forward to talking with you soon.
