Hello! . I am a bilingual babysitter (English & French) with 2 years of experience caring for children. I am CPR and AED certified and available on weekdays. I am responsible, patient, and love creating a safe and fun environment for kids. I look forward to helping your family.
Hi! I’m Miriam, and caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have over 5 years of experience working with children ranging from newborns to elementary school age, and I love getting to know each child’s unique personality while helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I’ve worked as a Pre-K teacher and coached elementary-aged children in sports and summer camps, so I’m comfortable caring for kids in a variety of settings. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, helping with homework, preparing meals, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel happy and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and hold an Early Childhood Education certificate, giving families added peace of mind. Parents often describe me as patient, dependable, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I look forward to creating a positive, fun, and caring experience for both you and your little ones!
“Miriam was super friendly, communicative, and did a great job with my two youngest babes. She handled a 17 month old and a 5 month old seamlessly and even got BOTH OF THEM to nap. She even cleared the dishes from the sink, which was totally not necessary, but incredibly appreciated! We plan to hire again for an upcoming date night!”
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.
I am a dedicated mother of three boys with years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, personalities, and needs. Being a mom has strengthened my patience, compassion, multitasking abilities, and instinct to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I understand the importance of balancing emotional support, routines, academics, and daily care with warmth and consistency. My educational background is in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Florida International University, a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, and an Educational Specialist degree in Reading K–12 from Nova Southeastern University. This strong academic foundation gives me a deep understanding of how children learn, grow, and develop both academically and emotionally. My combination of real-life parenting experience and advanced education allows me to provide thoughtful, attentive, and high-quality care.
Hi, I’m Bertha! I recently graduated with my bachelor’s in Healcare at Florida International University. I love working with kids, pets, and families to make life easier and more fun. I have experience caring for infants through teens, enjoy arts & crafts, reading, and outdoor play, and can also help with homework, cooking, or light cleaning. I’m also an animal lover with experience caring for dogs (all breeds and sizes), cats, and small pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy and safe. I can also help around the house with errands, laundry, tidying, and organization. I’m reliable, caring, and always bring a positive attitude. Looking forward to working with your family!
“Bertha has watched my twin girls for about six months now, and they absolutely love her. She is incredibly attentive and always caters to their needs right away, whether that’s feeding, soothing, or keeping them engaged. Bertha is very safety-conscious and I always feel at ease knowing my girls are in her care. She is patient, reliable, and truly cares about their happiness and well-being. She communicates well, follows routines closely, and goes above and beyond to make sure the girls feel comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Bertha to any family looking for a trustworthy and nurturing caregiver.”
