Ramona Haines City
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background working with children through coaching, teaching, and community programs. As a Head Tennis Coach and Academic Instructor, I've spent years mentoring young people, helping them build confidence, develop life skills, and navigate challenges both on and off the court. I've directed youth summer camps, led children's tennis clinics, organized family-focused community events, and worked closely with parents to support each child's growth. While much of my experience has been in coaching and education, the part I enjoy most is building individual relationships and helping children thrive. I've spent years mentoring students one-on-one, providing structure, encouragement, and guidance tailored to their unique needs. I am patient, dependable, nurturing, and attentive. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, positive environment where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to learn, grow, and be themselves.

Booked by 2 families in Lake Alfred, FL

Hi! My name is Pamella, I’m 29 and originally from Brazil, currently living in Poinciana, FL. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from 4 months to 11 years old. I was an Au Pair in the U.S. from 2[removed] and have continued working as a nanny since then. I’m CPR certified, responsible, patient, and families describe me as trustworthy and very attentive with children. In addition to childcare, I also offer house cleaning and pet care. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to cleaning and take pride in keeping homes organized and spotless. I’m also a pet lover and have two large dogs and three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m a confident driver and comfortable helping with transportation if needed. I’m available full-time on weekends and on weekdays after 6pm. I’d love to connect with families looking for reliable help.

Pamela did an amazing job cleaning my home. She went above and beyond and was super sweet. Will definitely hire again.

Mikayla Davenport
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I'm 21 years old with a strong love for working with kids. I’ve been volunteering with children at my church for nearly 10 years, and I also have professional experience through paid positions in childcare. I worked for the Safe-Key program and in summer camps at an elementary/middle school, where I cared for and supervised children in a structured setting. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages (as long as they’re out of diapers!) and am very flexible, reliable, and easy to adapt to each child’s personality. I’m also great at setting respectful boundaries with children—firm when needed, but always kind and understanding. A few fun facts about me: I love doing theatre and singing, I love all things Disney, and I'm a huge Spider-Man fan! I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

$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.
