Lina F.
- 3 years paid experience
- 8 miles
Hi! I’m Lina. I was born and raised in Cartagena, Colombia. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Education with a concentration in English. I taught English as a second language to little kids for 5 years in bilingual schools in Colombia.One of my favorite parts of working with kids is discovering their unique personalities and talents. In addition, I received training in Positive Discipline which helps young children to learn the importance of belonging and social-emotional skills. Now, I’m living in the States. I’m a creative, responsible, and dedicated person. I love traveling and learning about different cultures. I also enjoy playing board games and outdoor activities . I take my responsibility to you and yours very seriously, always mindful and with respect. My last nanny experience was with an 8-month baby girl and a 3-year-old boy. We used the app Kinedu on a daily basis. This app allowed me to implement activities that support the kid’s milestones accordingly. Currently only available on weekends.

Carolyn R.

- 14 miles
My name is Carolyn Richard, and I currently live in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2012 and have been a full time nanny ever since. My extensive experience in elementary education as well as my passion for creating a stimulating environment for growth and development makes me a stand out nanny. I enjoy guiding children through their developmental milestones and learning what peaks their interests. I take pride in creating educational activities centered around their interests. I have had the pleasure of student teaching in several classrooms from kindergarten to high school special needs. I put a lot of emphasis on exploring outdoors, creating, and reading. I am a crafty person and love to create as well as garden. I also enjoy baking and cooking, and I excel at coming up with hands on learning activities. I am an organized person that enjoys creating a schedule that can flow seamlessly. My childcare philosophy is to teach kindness. I am friendly but firm on the rules and happy to explain to children why it is important to follow the rules and maintain their safety. I like to teach kids through fun activities that capture their interests. I also teach personal responsibilities and manners. My goal is to help raise kind and capable humans that can effectively express themselves and learn to help care for themselves.

April A.
- 20 years paid experience

I pride myself on my being very dependable, honest, mature, and I get great satisfaction out of helping others. I adore spending time with children and have 19+ years of experience caring for toddlers and infants. I am a 40 year old mother of 2 small furry dogs. Casper and Smokey are the love of my life. I have been around children my whole life so it comes very natural to me. All of my friends children call me Aunt April because I spoil and treat them as if they were my own. I am always looking for new, fun and creative ways to entertain children and pass the information down to my family and friends! I am currently learning sign language for infants, as I have experienced some amazing progress with children learning some basic signs and signals! I was a babysitter since a wee little kid and was actually a full and part time nanny for families in the many areas I have lived. It was a joy to watch the babies grow and bond with you! I am definitely a hands-on personality type and love to play with the children, engage in activities, sports, crafts, take for walks outside, help with homework or anything they prefer to help stimulate their minds as opposed to just sitting them in front of the tv all day. I also keep a "Nanny Journal" to document all of the activities performed that day to include all feedings, bottles, diapers, Rx administered, household cleaning, pet-care, or any other special notes to parents about anything important! I used to volunteer frequently at my old church in Nebraska (for several years) in the childcare room so I could watch the newborn babies. I have worked at an animal hospital in the past and became very experienced in many aspects of the veterinary field and can administer vaccinations, bathe, partially groom (depending on breed) give subQ fluids, give shots and other special needs. I am Red Cross certified in BOTH human AND pet first aid and CPR!! I know people cannot believe their is a class for dogs, but I am serious in knowing everything I can to save my "children's" life! Children and dogs are my passion and I’m always striving to learn more and help them flourish! I am taking COVID seriously to protect myself and others.

Trinity R.
- 4 years paid experience
- 11 miles
Hi, I’m Trinity! I’m 22 and I’ve always loved working with kids. Growing up with four little brothers (two with autism), I got a lot of hands-on experience early on. I was basically the family babysitter, so looking after kids just became second nature to me. Since then, I’ve worked with families who had babies, toddlers, and even teenagers, and I’ve done everything from full-time nannying to helping out last minute. I’ve watched kids as young as 7 months old and also handled overnights and bigger groups. Parents I’ve worked for have said their kids “immediately fell in love” with me and that I bring a fun, positive energy into their homes. I also like to pitch in with things like light cleaning, keeping routines on track, and helping with homework — it just makes life easier for everyone. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids — whether that’s playing outside, doing arts and crafts, or just hanging out and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I know every family and every child is different, and I try my best to adjust to whatever you need.

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am a 20 year old student at UCF majoring in Nursing with a minor in Health Science !! I have worked as a babysitter with kids between 9 months - 11 years of age for about 3 years. I started babysitting when I was 15 and babysat my cousin who was around 6 months old. After one Summer of babysitting her for 5 days a week from 7 am - 5 pm, I fell in love with watching and caring for her, and it opened my eyes to the idea of becoming a babysitter. I used to work as a party event monitor for a bounce house company and at one of the events they were hosting I was the monitor. It was for a subdivision near the east side and my job was to make sure that the younger kids were not being trampled by the older kids that would pass by in the neighborhood. There was a little girl who was 2 years old and the bounce house was very high so she asked me to get in with her; I said yes of course and then got tricked into going several times with her throughout the obstacle course ;). Around the 5th time, her mother came up to me and asked me if I babysat because she saw the way that I interacted with the kids and could tell that I enjoyed it. From that experience, I was able to babysit her 3 and 11 year old daughters. I do have a car and I am certified in CPR and First Aid. My focus is on building trust with your child to be able to create a space that is open and fun. I enjoy making home-cooked meals, playing board games, listening to music, and karaoke, and taking drives to the ice cream shop and park. I am attentive and will work hard to make sure that the time your child and I will spend together will be colorful and entertaining. I look forward to meeting you and your family !! <3
