As a compassionate and dedicated caregiver, I am committed to providing exceptional care to individuals in need. With a strong background in supporting the elderly, and caring for children, I offer a combination of empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I am skilled in assisting with daily activities such as meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and mobility support, while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I have a deep sense of responsibility and a strong connection to my family, both of which shaped my caring nature. Growing up in a big, close-knit family provided me with many valuable life lessons. My approach is always client-centered, respecting their dignity and promoting independence wherever possible. I am eager to bring my skills and nurturing attitude to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.
I am an Autism Author and one of the Thinking Moms. I am also an Uber/Lyft Driver, private Chauffeur, varsity tutor, and a Certified Brain Trainer with Life Kinetik. I am also a former Substitute Teacher of 10 years. I Love children and am a Mother of 3 girls now in their 20's. I believe behavior is how a child sees, how a child hears, and how a child feels. I have a social Work degree and I have also done studies in Medical Assisting.
“There is something awesome about Mary! She was punctual, fun, kind, and my son and his best friend loves her! ”
I am a caring, reliable, and patient caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, and households. I value safety, kindness, and clear communication, and I take pride in helping families feel supported and at ease.
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! ❤️
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!
