I’ve been caring for children since the 1900s :) & four decades later, still adore every stage... newborns-teens. Caring for kids isn’t something I do on the side, it’s been my life’s work, and I bring that dedication into every home I support. I earned my degree in Elementary Education in 1996, then taught at the JCC in Maitland where I worked with the same infants through their toddler years. My co-teacher and I supported their development through sign language, early communication skills, potty training, sleep routines and structured play. I’m a very hands-on caregiver. I love engaging kids in activities that spark curiosity, movement and imagination. Walks outside, sports, crafts, reading time, sensory play and age-appropriate learning are all part of my day. Families trust me because I’m consistent, mature, dependable and fully present with their children. ~°~ My schedule is flexible... including overnights for newborn. My schedule is flexible... including overnights for newborn care. Currently obtaining my Newborn Care Specialist/Infant Sleep Training certifications.

Melissa is amazing with kids! I have a 6 yrs old boy and 3.5 years old girl. She made them feel so comfortable and played so many fun games with them. She is reliable and punctual! My kids love her and ask for her to come back again to play with them. Highly recommend her! :)

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 22+ years of experience caring for toddlers and infants. I am a mom of 1 furry Westie and bonus mom to 2 small amazing kiddos. 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.

I would reccommend April over and over again. We have used her many times over the last couple of years and the kids adore her. She is responsible, creative, outgoing and I trust her completely with my kiddos. 5 stars and more

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.

Hire Lina without hesitation! Lina is the epitome of a compassionate and dedicated caretaker. Her knowledge, unwavering work ethic, punctuality, and sense of responsibility set her apart. Lina worked as our nanny from September 2022 to July 2023, my daughter, who is almost 2.5, started school in July, and still asks for her beloved Lina. As our nanny, Lina exceeded all of our expectations. She spent hours outdoors with our daughter, took her to the library, introduced her to swimming, and engaged them in constant reading, laughter, and play. Lina was never glued to her phone; her undivided focus was always on our child's needs, development, and happiness. What impressed us most was that Lina was consistently educating herself, broadening her understanding of a child's needs and applied her findings to enhance our child's well-being. We are immensely grateful to have found Lina and had her become such a significant part of our lives. She is truly exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for a better caregiver.

Hi, I’m Trinity! I’m 23 and have always loved working with kids. Growing up with four younger brothers (two with autism), I gained a lot of hands-on experience early on. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-age children through both nannying and my current daycare role. I’ve worked with children as young as 7 months and have strong experience handling multiple children at once, especially in busy daycare settings where keeping routines running smoothly is key. I’m reliable, patient, and bring a fun, positive energy. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, homework, and keeping things organized so your home runs easier. I have my own car, so I’m dependable when it comes to transportation and punctuality. I truly enjoy what I do and always make sure kids feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

My son (who is 17 months) daycare had a lapse in availability and he had to stay home with me for a week while I worked. My dad reached out to Trinity who was more than accommodating on such short notice. She hopped on a call with me to go over basics. My son immediately fell in love with her upon meeting. She was prompt, professional, friendly, and fun! She even helped with household chores which was unexpected but so appreciated. I would use her again in a heartbeat and will when we are needing additional help watching out boy! I highly highly recommend!

Hello, I am CPR certified and have taken an EMT course which has educated me in first aid and EMT skills such as being able to handle tough situations, knowing when something is life-threatening, and having common knowledge about real life medical situations. Along with my first aid background I have worked with children as a private nanny and I have experience working in daycares with newborns to 4 years of age and in camp settings working with school age children. I have worked with children that have special needs such as asthma, autism and also children that have food/ bee allergies. I have worked an overnight position on the weekends and have worked an overnight position during the weekdays. I love being outdoors and enjoy arts and crafts. I am an excellent swimmer and if you have animals that is a great bonus (I have one dog myself). I am excited to grow with your family. I don’t think of caring for children as a job, it’s more of something I am passionate about and frankly just enjoy. My style of parenting and nannying are very similar to Waldorf and Montessori principles. I am also a Authoritative parent and bring that into my nannying as well. -Newborn care -Twin care -Assisted in sleep training -CPR Certified -EMT course taken -Potty Training -Worked with children with special needs -Overnight care -Weekend care -Can assist with breastfeeding and weaning -Studying to become a doula

Naisha provided care for my two children, ages 7 and 6 months. She was punctual and when I asked my 7 year old how she was with the baby, he said she was "sweet and gentle" lol. He said they had fun together. Excellent sitter!

Hi, I'm 30 years old and I'm from Peru. When I became in aunt at 14 years old, I discorvered that I liked children, so I started to spend time with my nieces and learn about babies and children. In their birthday parties, my sisters and parents around always asked me that I play with their kids, at that moment I realized that not only I like children, unless children like to spend time with me too. I worked as baby sitter in Peru while I was a university student (2012-2016), here in Orlando I work as occasional baby sitter, and I’ve worked with children from 8 months old to 12 years old. I have a diploma as children’s teacher and that’s what I’d like to do in a future.

I can't recommend Maria highly enough. She has cared for my daughter since she was 6 months old, and she has been excellent in every way. She has taught my daughter new words and does a wide variety of activities to keep her engaged and entertained throughout the day. It's clear how much she genuinely cares about my daughter's wellbeing — she has even gone above and beyond to help us even when my daughter has been sick. We feel very fortunate to have her as part of our family's life, and I trust her completely with my daughter.

I have Israel for over 2 years now and we feel so lucky to have found her. She has been absolutely amazing with my toddler. She doesn’t just watch him, she plays with him, help with learning activities. We also appreciate her excellent communication, she keeps us updated and she always goes above and beyond. She’s been a blessing to our family. It’s clear that she truly cares, and that makes all the difference.

I come from a family with lots of siblings and cousins. I see other people children as family. I am 24 years old and I have 5 other siblings.

Any questions send me a message! Thanks -Eva

I usually don't write reviews, but this young lady right here is worth every review I am going to write. She is very professional, trustworthy and a great babysitter. Our kids loved her and she was very interactive with them. If you don't want to be stood up by someone, get Eva she will show up ready to work. We wish you all the best Eva God bless you.
