Jenna really is like family. So comfortable as soon as she came to meet the girls, she just fit right in with us. She checks every single box a parent would want, and yes checks all the background checks!! Very laid back, supportive, easy going, creative, loved how interactive and playful she was, loved her initiative with them both, the planning and ideas and conversations kept flowing. She taught my youngest a new word just on the first meet. I'm so excited to work with her, if ever needed in the future. Neither of my girls were shy and this is their first sitter we are all nervous, but it was comforting to see how easy and comfortable this was. I would highly recommend her again and again to everyone, she is extremely family oriented, really has a genuine knack with children, her upbringing, social, sweet, responsible, obvious big heart self, she let my oldest take over the interview and Jenna is an open book! Can't believe we found her, she's a gem! 11/10.

I grew up taking care of my young family members and even their friends kids! I fell in love right away with caring for them. I continued my passion into working with children at a school and even pursued into getting certified for children with special needs! I love kids! Nurturing them, and also giving back to the families who need the support or maybe just want to enjoy themselves as well. You guys deserve so much. I can also start ASAP! 😊

Mirtha was great from the start. She responded very timely to questions and provided trusted references. Mirtha arrived on time even with bad traffic, was very polite, and was flexible as we were a little late returning home. Most importantly, my daughter enjoyed her time with her. I highly recommend hiring Mirtha.

Hi! My name is Daphny Wilches. I just graduated from the University of Florida in May 2025 with a degree in Business Administration. I’ve been working with kids for 9 years now, and childcare has always been something I’ve been genuinely passionate about. I’ve had the chance to work with all different age groups, and every experience has taught me something new. When I was 16, I was hired by the YMCA where I worked in the childcare center, refereed sports, and lifeguarded. Since then, I’ve worked mostly with toddlers and school-aged kids, but I truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I’m background checked, have been trained in CPR and First Aid, and some of the qualities people often use to describe me are: responsible, patient, active, flexible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also bilingual (fluent in Spanish), which has been a big help when working with diverse families. Outside of childcare, I love staying active! I’ve played basketball, tennis, flag football, and a bit of soccer. I also grew up around music and played both piano and clarinet. I try to bring those same interests into the care I provide, whether it’s getting outside to play or doing something creative indoors. I’m also someone you can count on for last-minute help—I totally understand that things come up, and I try to be as flexible and available as possible when families need a hand. My goal is always to support your child’s development and help them grow socially, emotionally, and confidently. I really look forward to meeting your family and hopefully making a positive impact in your lives!

Daphny started with our family in the summer of 2023. She was our nanny for that summer and continues to watch the boys for date nights. Great comminication, very reliable and always on time. Our boys love hanging out with her and are always excited when they get to see her. Daphny has been amazing and we would 100% recommend her to other families!

Carina watched my two sons while I attended an event, they had a great time! I arrived home to a house that was clean and two kids sound asleep. They are not used to new people and dont generally open up easily but she had them open up pretty quickly.
