Booked by 1 family in Orlando, 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.

Lauren $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I go by Kennedy! I am AHA BLS certified and I’m always prepared for anything, whether it be entertainment, an ouch, or a snack break, I’ll have my sitter kit ready (mess-free art, fun stickers, basic medical, and a snack bag with hand wipes) I love the randomness and wonder with kids, if they decide they want to be a dinosaur today then more power to em’! I’ll gladly translate their homework to pterodactyl. I am a reliable, punctual commuter dedicated to providing high quality in-home care for families in Orlando.

Lisa $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children and supporting families. I grew up on Long Island, New York, with my parents and brother, and from a young age I was very active in dance, gymnastics, skiing, ice skating, and soccer, which I continued through college. Staying active and enjoying the outdoors are still a big part of my life today. For the past 24+ years, I’ve been a devoted stay-at-home mother raising three children while also volunteering at school, coaching soccer, and assisting with other youth sports. We currently have two boys in college and an 11th-grade daughter attending Bishop Moore Catholic High School. I’ve been happily married for 27 years and truly value family, health, nutrition, sports, swimming, outdoor adventures, and creating a positive home environment. My childcare experience began around age 10 as a mother’s helper, and I worked closely with several families from ages 18–30. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with little ones. I’m positive, easygoing, patient, consistent, and enjoy laughing, playing, crafting, baking, reading, and making everyday moments fun and engaging for kids. I also have personal experience parenting a high-functioning autistic son, now 24, which has given me added patience, understanding, flexibility, and compassion when supporting children with different personalities and needs. While I’m not overly focused on technology, I appreciate the ways it can be useful and prefer building real, meaningful connections with children and families. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing, active, and dependable environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.

Lesyanis $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Orlando, FL

Hi! My name is Lesy and I’m a 23 year old aspiring Elementary School teacher or Nanny with seven years of childcare experience. Red Cross trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I’m dependable and naturally organized. One of my greatest strengths is that I don’t become easily overwhelmed. A messy kitchen, change of plans, or a little chaos is something very manageable for me! I love finding thoughtful ways to keep children engaged and curious. In my free time I sell baked goods, craft, and sew, and I love incorporating those interests into creative activities. I love cooking and preparing food from scratch and I’d be happy to help out with meals, snacks, homework, and light household work. Because I have a shellfish allergy myself, I take dietary restrictions seriously! I make sure to read labels carefully, and prevent cross contamination at all times. I have completed an early childhood development course, bilingual in English and Spanish, currently learning sign language, and have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. My goal is to be someone parents can genuinely depend on and feel confident that their child is in responsible hands. I’m comfortable working in homes with dogs. I do have a cat allergy. One cat is generally manageable for me, but I’m unable to work in homes with multiple cats.
