I have over 13 years of experience caring for children. My roles have included: nanny, preschool assistant teacher (Montessori), and after-school care teacher. I care about about helping children develop physically, emotionally, socially, and mentally to help them become their best selves.
“Janny is great, we’re looking forward to having her watch our children in the future. ”
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 over 10 years of childcare experience, starting as a babysitter when I was 15. 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!
Hello! Great to meet you! I am from Jamaica and have been here in Clermont, FL (and an American citizen) since 2004! I am an officer with the Lake County Sheriff's Dept, and I am CEO of a non-profit organization called Dorca's Way (You can find info on Facebook). We have monthly food drops for people in need. I enjoy caring for pets and helping others so much, I would love to help out families who need part time or occasional help. I have ten years experience pet sitting, dogs and cats, and I am especially wonderful with feisty senior dogs.
“Did a great job, very kind and professional”
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. ”
Hi Families! ♥︎ My name is Isabella, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teenagers. One of my most valuable experiences was working as an Au Pair for two years, where I lived with a wonderful family and became a big part of the children’s daily lives. I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, transportation to sports and activities, homework, meals, playdates, bedtime routines, and everything in between. What I love most about childcare is building genuine connections with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and be themselves. I am naturally very patient, caring, and energetic, and I truly enjoy being involved in the activities children love. I am a very creative person and enjoy planning crafts, games, outdoor adventures, baking activities, story time, imaginative play, and age-appropriate learning activities. I believe children thrive when they are engaged and having fun, so I try to keep screen time to a minimum and encourage hands-on activities whenever possible. I also volunteered as a teacher’s assistant in a kindergarten classroom and have experience caring for children with medical needs, including administering asthma medications and inhalers under parental guidance. In addition, I am a Certified Phlebotomist, which has given me professional healthcare experience and strengthened my attention to safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, a non-smoker, comfortable around pets, have reliable transportation, and maintain a clean driving record. I have been living in the United States since 2017 and am happily married. Families often describe me as dependable, trustworthy, kind, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I always strive to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is simple: to create a positive experience for both parents and children, and to become someone your kids are excited to see again! I look forward to meeting your family! ❤️
