Mariangely 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Zellwood, FL

Hii! My name is Mariangely but you can call me Mary, I'm 18 years old and currently enrolled in college. I have CPR/first aid certification. I have two years of experience with kids from newborn to 11 years old and feel comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, comfortable setting and following household rules, and I believe open communication with families is really important. Caring for children is something I truly love. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy helping kids learn and grow through play, whether that's outdoor activities, board games, puzzles, or fun educational activities. I have a 10-year-old sister who means a lot to me and a dog that I love, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and caring for others. I'm always happy to share updates by text, phone, or in person. Being a reliable and supportive sitter truly makes me happy, and I'd love the chance to babysit for your family!!

“She was amazing!! On time! My son wind up getting sick unexpectedly and she handled like a pro til I got home! 10/10 recommend she’s so sweet and nice and professional I will definitely use her in the future!”

Gabriella $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Gabriella, and I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in legal studies. I am currently applying to start a Master’s Degree program in Clinical Social Work. Working with children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel privileged to support parents and guardians by helping make their days a little easier while ensuring their children are happy and safe. I enjoy collaborating with families to create daily routines and activities that spark creativity, laughter, and joyful learning. Whether providing long-term care or occasional visits, I strive to provide the highest level of care for every child. My experience includes in-home care for children ages 16 months to 12 years, working in a residential behavioral health facility with teens, afterschool programs, and summer camps with groups of 15–30 children. I’ve also volunteered with the Orange County Bar Association, supporting children in foster care with sourcing school supplies, mental health resources, and extracurricular opportunities. The best part of my work is seeing children laugh, learn, and grow. I look forward to bringing that joy to your family and building meaningful connections with your children.
