Makenna $16 per hour for 1 child

I have formal hands-on experience working with young children as a Student teacher at the Little Lions Preschool early childhood elective program, where I assisted teachers with daily routines, supervised activities, and kept the space organized and safe. I’ve also spent multiple summers volunteering for Vacation Bible School leading group activities. My personal babysitting experience comes from my young cousins, ranging from infants to middle schoolers.

Gabriella $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Gabriella, and I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in legal studies. I am currently applying to start a Master’s Degree program in Clinical Social Work. Working with children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel privileged to support parents and guardians by helping make their days a little easier while ensuring their children are happy and safe. I enjoy collaborating with families to create daily routines and activities that spark creativity, laughter, and joyful learning. Whether providing long-term care or occasional visits, I strive to provide the highest level of care for every child. My experience includes in-home care for children ages 16 months to 12 years, working in a residential behavioral health facility with teens, afterschool programs, and summer camps with groups of 15–30 children. I’ve also volunteered with the Orange County Bar Association, supporting children in foster care with sourcing school supplies, mental health resources, and extracurricular opportunities. The best part of my work is seeing children laugh, learn, and grow. I look forward to bringing that joy to your family and building meaningful connections with your children.
