Hello, My name is Lisa Carter and I live in the lovely Destin area. I have had the opportunity to work as a Preschool Lead Teacher for a number of years and presently hold six (6) college credits in Early Childhood Education with an additional credit in Children’s Art. My training and experience with children of various ages comes not only from working within the preschool field but also as a Therapeutic Respite worker, providing dedicated assistance to children with behavioral and emotional challenges. I’ve also had the privilege of playing an instrumental part in the lives of many children as a personal Nanny providing loving care, safety, and a most thriving environment, while presenting myself as a positive role model for younger ones. I hope my professional background is a match for your need and family. Thank you kindly for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hey there! My name is Oriana. I'm an experienced, nurturing, and dependable babysitter with a passion for providing a comforting and welcoming environment for children. I come from a diverse background and am fluent in English and Spanish. Family means everything to me, that's why I'm so passionate about babysitting because it allows me the opportunity to make a positive impact in children’s lives and contribute to their well-being. It also contributes to my own personal growth as learning from and caring for others can surprisingly help us understand and care for ourselves better. I hold a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in English. This has helped me recognize the importance of child development stages, including emotional and social learning. I strive to create a compassionate and supportive atmosphere, allowing children the space to feel comfortable sharing their emotions and needs. I aim to foster their growth as individuals, helping them navigate the ups and downs of everyday life with resilience and confidence. With a creative and imaginative mindset, I love engaging kids in educational and entertaining activities such as arts and crafts, reading, storytelling, movement and dance, imaginative play, and helping make homework time an enjoyable and stimulating experience. I am patient, adaptable, and adept at handling various situations that may arise when caring for children. Safety is always my top priority which is why I will be renewing my Adult and Pediatric First AID/CPR certification this month. I emphasize building strong relationships with both children and parents as I believe open and clear communication are key in building trust. I recognize and celebrate the individuality of every child. I take the time to understand the child’s personality, interests, and preferences in order to provide personalized care and support. I have experience working with children of various ages and temperaments, which has taught me the importance of tailoring my approach to suit each child’s needs. I also pay close attention to parents’ instructions and guidelines; making sure to understand their expectations regarding things like meal prep, bedtime routines, screen time and any specific rules they’ve set. I am here to provide reliable and trustworthy care for your little ones, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Let's create a positive and enjoyable experience for your family! My schedule is flexible so please feel free to reach out.

I truly love being a sitter because caring for children comes naturally to me—it’s meaningful work that allows me to support families while creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether it’s engaging in play, helping with homework, or just being a calm, dependable presence, I take pride in being someone kids can trust and parents can rely on. I bring over 18 years of experience in caregiving, including working with children of all ages—from infants to teens—and those with special needs such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and seizure disorders. I’ve worked both as a private caregiver and in professional medical settings, including neonatal and emergency care, which gives me a solid foundation in both safety and compassion. I’m a Florida State Certified EMT with training in CPR and first aid. I’m also experienced with medication administration, behavioral support, and providing care tailored to each child’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my ability to balance medical-level vigilance with heartfelt, one-on-one connection.
