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.
Hello! I currently work at a childcare center and have goals of becoming a teacher! I love disney, marvel, animals, kids and the color pink. I grew up sitting for my siblings and I am fluent in both english and spanish. I currently have 2 cats whom I love to spoil. I am available after 6pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Can’t wait to meet you and your kiddos!
Hi, my name is Genesis. I am 25 years old and originally from Puerto Rico. I offer reliable and caring childcare services for families in need of a trustworthy babysitter. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. My background as a Medical Assistant in a pediatric clinic strengthened my passion for working with children and supporting their growth and well being. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities such as arts and crafts, dancing, reading, and helping with homework. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I look forward to helping care for your little ones!
Hi there! I’m Angelina, a 20-year-old pre-nursing student at Valencia College. I’m also a part-time Nursing Assistant on a high-acuity floor at a major local hospital. I’m proud to be a President’s List recipient. I provide high-level safety, structured educational support, and warm, patient-centered care to babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to 10 years old. I have diverse experience, including managing care for the youngest children in a large busy family and supporting neurodivergent children with deep patience. My healthcare background has rigorously trained me in RQI BLS/CPR (Adult & Infant), emergency response, and strict safety protocols. I also have quarterly hands-on competency evaluations. I can provide an engaging caregiver to help keep kids on track with learning, specialized infant care, or peace of mind for a date night. I have my own reliable transportation and look forward to partnering with your family!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
