Hey Orlando Parents! My name is Mercedes and I would love to be your new date-night sitter! I currently make magic at Walt Disney World, but I have an extensive background in Education and Childcare. I have over 10 years of experience as a babysitter, full time nanny, public school educator, private tutor, and small event sitting as well. I’ve worked with kids as young as 12 months all the way to early middle school, and have babysat for up to 6 kids. However, I am familiar and have experience in event childcare if you need a sitter for an upcoming wedding or social event! My favorite activities while sitting include story time, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and arts and crafts! I also have a love for cooking and baking, and have no issue cooking up a delicious and healthy meal for your little ones! Please reach out if you Read more have any questions, thank you for checking out my profile!
