Hello! I’m Jhasha Presilis, a dedicated child development specialist with over a decade of experience nurturing young minds in Central Florida. As a former Montessori Director who thrived under the visionary leadership of Dr. Meredith McCurdy at Brilliant Minds Montessori in Sanford, I bring a refined, Montessori-inspired approach to every family I serve, focusing on independence, curiosity, and joyful learning. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing a child’s “aha!” moment, whether mastering a new skill, sharing a laugh during a story, or exploring the world through hands-on play. I cherish creating those magical, trust-filled connections that make children feel secure and excited to grow, while giving parents the peace of mind they deserve. For nearly seven years at Brilliant Minds, I advanced from Lead Teacher to Aftercare Manager and ultimately Director, overseeing operations, mentoring staff, and partnering closely with families to maintain enrollment and a welcoming environment. Today, as a self-employed specialist since 2014, I provide personalized childcare, tutoring, and enrichment for ages 0 to 10, including STEM activities, homework support, and developmental milestones. I have also led teams in youth programs at the YMCA and supervised commercial services, honing my skills in organization and communication. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA), Florida Director Credential with VPK endorsement, Operations Support and Services certification, and CPR/First Aid. I obtained a Bachelor’s in Business and Organizational Leadership, with an Associate of Arts in Social Services earned on the President’s List. I am proficient in time management, leadership, parent communication, and Microsoft tools to keep everything seamless. I am passionate about building long-term partnerships with discerning families who value excellence in childcare. Let’s chat about how I can support your little ones’ brightest future!

Jhasha was so great! She was very professional, responsive, punctual, and knowledgeable about child development and brought fun toys and activities for our 3 year old son to engage with and learn from. She quickly earned our trust and made us feel very comfortable and confident that our child was in good hands and would be well cared for. It was a two day engagement and after the first few minutes of our son meeting her, he was already so happy! We would recommend Jhasha to any family. Thank you Jhasha!! We

Hi, I’m Trinity! I’m 23 and have always loved working with kids. Growing up with four younger brothers (two with autism), I gained a lot of hands-on experience early on. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-age children through both nannying and my current daycare role. I’ve worked with children as young as 7 months and have strong experience handling multiple children at once, especially in busy daycare settings where keeping routines running smoothly is key. I’m reliable, patient, and bring a fun, positive energy. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, homework, and keeping things organized so your home runs easier. I have my own car, so I’m dependable when it comes to transportation and punctuality. I truly enjoy what I do and always make sure kids feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

My son (who is 17 months) daycare had a lapse in availability and he had to stay home with me for a week while I worked. My dad reached out to Trinity who was more than accommodating on such short notice. She hopped on a call with me to go over basics. My son immediately fell in love with her upon meeting. She was prompt, professional, friendly, and fun! She even helped with household chores which was unexpected but so appreciated. I would use her again in a heartbeat and will when we are needing additional help watching out boy! I highly highly recommend!

Michelle helped me remotely take care of my senior father with Parkinson's in Florida while I lived in California. He was in an Assisted Living Facility and she checked in on him weekly, spending time with him, and keeping me updated on his level of care. She was such a blessing during a stressful time when he was in and out of the hospital. She kept me updated about his care and concerns she had at the facility (like him getting his meds on time) and he was always so happy to have her visit. She was very sweet, communicative, and caring and I'd be happy to recommend her to other families looking for some additional care.

Owned my own home daycare for two years licensed by the State of Virginia. Took care of six months to ten years old. Prepared meals and snacks. Also worked as a Camp Counselor for Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota with third, fourth and fifth graders. Experience babysitting newborns, toddlers, preschoolers and school aged children. Worked at Julie Rohr Academy, Sarasota, with four and five year olds. CPR and AED certified. Will need to renew my certification in January 2027. Compassionate, caring, loving, patient and very reliable. Love working with children. This summer 2026 I am taking care of my granddaughter, who is 5 years old. She comes to my home around 7 am and gets picked up around 6 pm. We go to the community pool during the week, play card games, particularly Old Maid, Art Work, go bicycle riding around the neighborhood and also the water front of downtown Sanford. I have a seven month old male mix golden retriever, who absolutely loves children, particularly little ones. We take Ennis for walks around the neighborhood early in the morning. I have a pond behind my townhouse full of ducks and geese. We go out daily and feed them. I also take care of my 3 year old granddaughter and 1 year old grandson, whenever daycare is closed or they are sick/not feeling well. Because I am booked this coming school year picking up my two granddaughters from school at 3 pm. I will be doing activities with them, including any homework, until they are picked up around 6 pm. I am only available during the week after 7 pm to babysit but am available on the weekends to sit. I do attend 5 pm mass on Saturdays and am usually home by 6:30. So, can give parents a night out after 7 pm or I can always do Sunday morning mass if the date night needs to be earlier. I am a widow of a career Naval Officer and moved from Sarasota in December 2025 to Sanford to help my daughter with the grandchildren. I have 7 grandchildren total and took care of two of them from infants to kindergarten Monday through Friday plus babysitting on the weekends for parents night out. I am available once school begins from 8:30 am until 2:00 pm during the week if a parent needs babysitting or their child is sick and they need to work at least most of the day. I raised 4 of my children basically alone plus working full time while my husband was in the Navy and deployed for 6 months or longer. I also do dog walking and dog sitting!

Alida responded quickly to my messages and was able to help me with a last minute pet sitting job for my two dogs. They quickly took to her. There was a bit of confusion on that first day but it was all sorted, so her second pet sitting experience wasn't nearly as chaotic. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter in the area.

My girls were absolutely delighted with Loren as their babysitter. She kept my busy toddler safe, happy, and thoroughly entertained, and she connected so naturally with my autistic teen daughter as she they chatted about art and video games—and my teen even gave her a hug goodbye. We’ll definitely be calling Loren again. ❤️

Hi! My name is Jada, and I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children with special needs by helping with behavior management, communication skills, daily routines, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children in trusted hands. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while also maintaining structure and routines when needed. My experience working with children with special needs has helped me develop strong communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, homework help, light housekeeping related to the children, and adapting to each child’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

Jada was great with my 9 yr old daughter! She has severe ADHD and can be handful at times. But Jada was extremely kind and gentle with her. She used all kinds techniques and helped get her back on track to focus on one thing at a time. She is super sweet and has a lot of patience even when having to repeat herself and help get my 9 yr old to calm down and focus. I highly recommend her .

I’m a 44 year old mother of three well adjusted, well behaved and grown children. I’ve worked as a nanny in the past when my children were little and now that they’re grown, I’d like to start again with looking after and caring for a family as their trusted babysitter. Caring for children and making memories with them has always been my happy place since I was a babysitting teenager. I love creating adventures that involve learning, but also allows for silliness and giggles that create lasting memories. I’ve kept in contact with a family I babysat for when I was a teenager and I still get texts with memories of the silliness. I have cared for children of all ages and of course raised my own. I’m extremely patient and I will care for your child as if they were my own. I absolutely love all stages of a child, from newborn cuddles, to the curiosity of a toddler, to the growing minds of elementary, middle school and up. I have a reliable car with a perfect driving record and a squeaky clean background check. I’m ready to go on adventures that keep us home or bring us out into the world to explore and learn or to just get some energy out. (Parent approved of course!)
