Daniela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Daniela 😊 I’m originally from Colombia, so I’m fully bilingual and love teaching kids Spanish in a fun, natural way through games, conversations, and everyday activities. I’m a caring, responsible, and creative babysitter with hands on experience both professionally and within my own family. I spent a year and a half as a nanny in the U.S. through Cultural Care Au Pair, where I had the opportunity to work with two amazing families. In Texas, I cared for a big, energetic household of five kids (home schoolers), which taught me how to stay organized, patient, and fun all at once. In Connecticut, I cared for two girls, one of whom required extra attention and care due to medical needs. That experience made me even more empathetic, attentive, and detail oriented when it comes to children’s well being. On top of that, I’ve basically been “the family nanny” since I was 15 I have 8 nieces and nephews, and I’ve always been the one helping my siblings take care of them. Being around kids has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I genuinely love. Outside of childcare, I work in music and marketing, which makes me super creative and great at keeping kids entertained in fun, engaging ways. Whether it’s coming up with games, doing arts & crafts, or just making everyday moments more exciting, I love creating a positive and joyful environment. I also know how to swim, ride horses, drive, dance, makeup, hair, etc, and I love anything creative like makeup and styling so I’m always happy to bring a little extra fun and personality into the day. I’m reliable, warm, and easy to communicate with, and I always make sure parents feel comfortable and updated. Looking forward to meeting a great family! 💛

Brianna $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m 19 years old and currently working part-time while saving up to continue my education. Babysitting has always come naturally to me since I’ve helped raise my twin siblings (they’re 7 now). From school mornings and packed lunches to after-school homework and bedtime, I’ve had hands-on experience with all the routines that come with growing kids. I also have recent infant experience my sister-in-law’s baby is turning one, and I’ve spent plenty of time helping with bottles, naps, and playtime.

Emma 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Miami, FL

Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Emma. I am a 45-year-old bilingual Hispanic caregiver with over 10 years of professional experience in caregiving. I have lived in Florida for the past 40 years and was raised in Wisconsin. I am a U.S. citizen and a graduate of Coral Gables Senior High School, class of 98'. My passion for caregiving began through volunteer missionary work, where I spent more than two decades supporting families and children through a non-profit organization. This experience deeply shaped my values-compassion, patience, and attentiveness-which are especially important when nurturing and guiding young children. While I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with a background in high-acuity medical settings, including time in the Cardiovascular ICU at the University of Miami Hospital, I've have cared for children in private households. I have a clean driving record. My skill set includes creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I am CPR/BLS certified, hold an Associate Degree from Miami Dade College, and have worked with high-profile families, ensuring a high standard of professionalism and discretion. I enjoy supporting children with their daily routines, helping with homework, organizing enriching playtime, preparing healthy meals, and providing consistent guidance with warmth and patience. I live in the Coconut Grove area, lead a healthy lifestyle, and do not smoke or drink. I am reliable, trustworthy, and deeply committed to helping children feel safe, supported, and confident as they grow. Multiple professional references are available upon request. I see childcare not simply as a job, but as a meaningful opportunity to support young minds with kindness, consistency, and positive engagement.

Clarismel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clary. I’m a caring, dependable, patient, and responsible caregiver with previous nanny experience and a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where kids can be themselves, learn, and have fun. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust with their children. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals and snacks, playtime, activities, light housekeeping related to the children, and keeping their space clean and organized. I’m also comfortable around pets and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines, household rules, and parenting preferences. I’m reliable, organized, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to make things a little easier for parents while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and happy while they’re with me. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need a trustworthy and dependable nanny or babysitter, whether that’s for consistent care or occasional help. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I would be a good fit!
