Hello! My name is Mima (25), and I’m a dedicated, caring nanny with over three years of experience working with children from infancy through early adolescence. I love planning age-appropriate activities that support learning and development, and I’m always happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, and laundry to make daily routines smoother for families. I come with strong recommendations from multiple families I’ve worked with, and I’d be happy to provide references upon request. I’m excited to bring my experience and warm energy into a new home and look forward to the opportunity to support your family.

Liseth G., Child Care in Merritt Island, FL 32953 with 0 years of paid experience

“Caring, responsible, Native Spanish speaker, with good understanding of English babysitter with experience raising three children and a passion for creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments for kids.” I am a 53-year-old woman and a university graduate in my home country. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my three children, who are now 25, 23, and 17 years old. Through this, I developed a deep passion for caring for children and supporting their growth at every stage. I truly enjoy creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where little ones can learn through play, crafts, music, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I am patient, caring, and very responsible, always attentive to children’s needs. I am physically and mentally healthy, family-oriented, and raised with strong values. I am fully documented to live and work in the U.S., have my own vehicle, and hold a clean driver’s license. CPR & First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. Certifications are available and up to date. My native language is Spanish, and I can communicate effectively in English. Families also appreciate that I can expose children to Spanish through songs, games, and everyday interaction if desired. I am fully available on Wednesdays (all day). On other days, my availability is mainly in the afternoons and evenings, but I am open to arranging a schedule that works best for your family.

Caroline J., Child Care in Merritt Island, FL 32953 with 15 years of paid experience

I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with a strong background in supporting children’s growth, development, and daily well-being across a wide range of ages—from newborns to school-aged children. Over the past several years, I have worked in both full-time and part-time roles, as well as nanny share settings, caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I take pride in planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, fostering developmental milestones, and creating a nurturing, structured environment where children can thrive. I am also experienced in sleep training, potty training, meal preparation, transportation, and managing busy household routines. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked as a swim instructor, tutor, and lifeguard, which has strengthened my ability to prioritize safety, communicate effectively with families, and support children’s learning both academically and physically. I am CPR and First Aid certified and confident in handling emergencies and administering medication when needed. I truly love being a nanny because I enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and families, watching children grow and reach important milestones, and creating a positive, supportive environment where every child feels safe, confident, and cared for. I am looking to build a long-term relationship with a family where I can provide consistent, reliable care and become a trusted part of your children’s lives.
