Booked by 38 families in Longwood, FL

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. ”

Booked by 1 family in Longwood, FL

I'm originally from the UK and moved to the states about 4 years ago. Over the past decade, I have gained diverse experience working with children of all ages, which has shaped me into a compassionate and versatile childcare provider. I had the privilege of being an aunt to my nieces, learning the joys and responsibilities of nurturing and guiding young minds. For two years, I worked as an au pair in a different country, which broadened my perspective and honed my ability to adapt to different cultural environments. I learned to respect their individual needs, and foster a loving, supportive environment while ensuring open communication with families. As a certified swim instructor for 8 years, I have taught children of all ages and skill levels, from toddlers to teenagers. This role has not only developed my ability to teach essential life skills but also allowed me to form strong, trusting relationships with the children I work with. Additionally, I spent two summers as a counselor, working with children ranging from 7 to 16 years old. These summers solidified my leadership and problem-solving skills, and I learned how to create a positive and safe environment where children can express themselves, build friendships, and grow.

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m currently in school for Medical Billing and Coding and working as a Pre-k Teacher’s Assistant.

I have worked in the school system for over 5 years as an assistant for various grades and as a lead Pre-k teacher. I also have my bachelors from UCF in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’m just looking for something part time on the side to make some extra money while I’m in school. I look forward to meeting you!

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!!!

Pauline $18 per hour for 1 child

As a compassionate and dedicated caregiver, I am committed to providing exceptional care to individuals in need. With a strong background in supporting the elderly, and caring for children, I offer a combination of empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I am skilled in assisting with daily activities such as meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and mobility support, while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I have a deep sense of responsibility and a strong connection to my family, both of which shaped my caring nature. Growing up in a big, close-knit family provided me with many valuable life lessons. My approach is always client-centered, respecting their dignity and promoting independence wherever possible. I am eager to bring my skills and nurturing attitude to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.
