Booked by 1 family in Tavares, FL

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

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!

Hi l'm julyanna! I just recently graduated class of 2025 and l am looking for a job mainly involving kids because I’ve always had a strong passion for working with children and being able to be there for them by giving a safe and fun space. i want to be able to impact there lives positively and help guide them in the right direction. i have experience babysitting my 6 year old sister as she grew up as well as my 10 year old cousin. My mom's a teacher at an elementary school and I've gone to volunteer and help at my mom's job. I want more experience in the field of children caretaking because one day I'm hoping to be an au pair or maybe even a teacher like my mom. I'm 19 years old and I love dancing, writing, poetry, and the beach. I don’t have a car but I have reliable transportation. I’m willing to adjust to the needs of a child and there family in order to create a healthy relationship even if it’s long or short term.

I'm a mother of two children myself but they are all grown up one of them is 35and the other one is 26I love to be around small children and having fun with them by making them smile I’m also a grandma to a 7year old granddaughter and a five year 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.
