We’ve been so fortunate to have Pearl as our nanny for our 20-month-old daughter. She is caring, reliable, and truly wonderful with children. Pearl keeps our daughter engaged with activities, feeds her well, makes sure she is always clean, and even takes care of baby laundry. She also helps with light household chores, which has been a huge help for us. Beyond her skills, Pearl is easy to get along with, friendly, and dependable. We are grateful for the care she provides and would highly recommend her to any family.

I am willing to help with online school/ homework, crafts, meal preparation, and swimming supervision as well! I'm very capable of taking care of children of any age and making sure that they feel comfortable, safe, and happy!

Lizbeth is wonderful. She sat for our 3 month old son while I worked at home, and he loved her immediately. I didn’t hear him cry once, and her calming presence also helped him go down for his naps without a fuss. So happy with her!

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.

Shantavia L., Child Care in Lake Helen, FL 32744 with 22 years of paid experience

I love working with children because it has been a meaningful part of my life for over 22 years. I began at a young age, and that passion has never faded—it has only grown stronger with time and experience. Being around children brings me a sense of purpose, joy, and fulfillment that is hard to find elsewhere. As a single mother, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to find reliable and trustworthy individuals to care for your child. That personal experience has shaped the way I approach working with children and families. I don’t just see it as a job—I see it as a responsibility to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can thrive and parents can feel at ease. I also strongly believe that it takes a village to raise a child. Every child deserves to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about their well-being and development. I take pride in being a part of that “village,” offering guidance, patience, and encouragement to help children grow into confident and capable individuals. Supporting families and building trust within the community is something I value deeply, and it is what continues to inspire my dedication to this work.

Stephanie R., Child Care in Lake Helen, FL 32744 with 4 years of paid experience

I have 2 small kids of my own, ages 1 and 2 yrs old. I have had the pleasure of teaching my 2 year old letter, number and primary color recognition. We are a homeschooling family and I would love to extend what I learn and am able to teach on to other families and their kids. I have prior experience babysitting my cousins and nieces and nephew for an extended period of time. They were ages 6 months old and 4, 9 and 11 years old at the times I have sat with them as well. If you would like any additional details on my experience, I am more than happy to provide it. I am also comfortable with family pets and have extended experience raising and caring for pets; mainly dogs and cats.

What a blessing to have met Stephanie! She is very kind, patient and my normally standoffish child opened up to her quickly! Highly recommend and will be booking her for date nights!

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. ❤️

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.
