Hi, my name is Shaniah i’ve been a babysitter since the age of 15 & have helped raise all of my siblings, so i pride myself on being able to easily connect with children. I am a very responsible, punctual person that follows instructions without any problem and who is always aware of the time for the different activities that I must do with the kids (play time, study time, dinner time, and bedtime). The children respect my authority and consider me as part of their family. You can be sure that your kids will be in the best hands with me, a responsible and integral person.

Hi. My name is Amada, I'm from Brazil and I've been living in Florida for 2 years with my husband, who has an MBA here in Lakeland. I've always loved children. I've taken care of many cousins who are younger than me, and one day I dream of being a mother. Because I'm very close to children, I decided to work as a babysitter as soon as I arrived in the United States. I've worked for 3 families here in the city with children ranging from 2 to 10 years old. I really enjoy playing, talking and taking care of them. I have my own vehicle, so I can also pick the children up from school or take them to appointments. I also have very flexible hours. :)

Hi there! I’m Vanessa—most kids call me “Nessa.” I’m 26 years old and have a true passion for working with children of all ages. Whether it’s for a date night or regular care, I bring years of experience as a nanny and sitter through various childcare companies, as well as hands-on experience in a daycare setting. I’ve also worked as a substitute teacher for Polk County Schools. I began my studies in elementary education but soon realized I thrive most in smaller, more personal environments where I can provide individualized care, attention, and support. I’m currently working as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), where I have the privilege of supporting children with disabilities by focusing on behavioral goals and developmental progress in a compassionate and caring way. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and be a positive, nurturing part of their lives. Please feel free to message me with any questions or for references! 4074332598

My name is Laura and I have lived in the Orlando area for 11 years now with my husband. I am looking for ,part time or date night. I went to school for Elem education but I have worked with 3 months up to teens. Currently I live in Windermere so I am only wanting to sit within 10-15 miles of my home. I enjoy music, books, outdoor activities and family. I was working a job in the outside world just part-time and sitting part-time but now my company has closed so I am available whenever. I am a highly qualified park-sitter/tour guide if you are here visiting. I have a pass to Disney and both myself and my husband have worked there so we know all the ins and outs of the parks. My rate for park sitting if I have to assist in the parks is at a higher rate then regular babysitting. I charge a bit more (depending on # of children) plus meals. I require a 4 hour minimum whether I am just there for a day or everyday. I also sit everyday or on ocacassion for many families and will happy to assist you with your needs. If I cannot do the job I can reccommend a couple of people to work for you. I have my own business called Moehr2Offer and I have been doing this for 20 plus years. If you are at a hotel don't worry I will entertain the kiddos for you while you go out or if you want to ride the coasters with an older child perhaps
