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, 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.

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
