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 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! ❤️

Makenna $16 per hour for 1 child

I have formal hands-on experience working with young children as a Student teacher at the Little Lions Preschool early childhood elective program, where I assisted teachers with daily routines, supervised activities, and kept the space organized and safe. I’ve also spent multiple summers volunteering for Vacation Bible School leading group activities. My personal babysitting experience comes from my young cousins, ranging from infants to middle schoolers.

Lesyanis $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Altoona, 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.
