I have had experience in babysitting and nannying since high school (20+ years). Great references, my own transportation, and a super fun attitude! I love arts and crafts, swimming, and helping little ones expand their imaginations through play! I adore spending time with my Niece (6) and Nephew (8)! I am punctual, responsible, organized, and I enjoy cooking and keeping a tidy organized home. I speak Spanish conversationally, but I’m a bit rusty. Just recently returned home to Hollywood from working as a full time live-in nanny to 3 toddler girlies, who have now all gone back to school.

Renee was amazing with my kids! She was on time, respectful, and very calm and nurturing. My little ones felt comfortable with her right away, which says a lot. I appreciated her communication and how she kept things running smoothly. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to other parents looking for someone reliable and caring!

I am a medical doctor from Cuba with extensive experience working with children in hospital and clinical settings, and I completed the first year of my residency in pediatric orthopedics and traumatology before relocating to the United States. For more than a year, I have been working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing individualized support to children with autism and other developmental conditions across schools, after‑school programs, and home environments. My background in medicine and behavioral therapy allows me to approach each child with a deep understanding of their developmental, emotional, and physical needs, while maintaining a strong focus on safety, communication, and structured routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I also drive and safely transport my autistic clients to their daily activities, therapies, and appointments, ensuring consistency, reliability, and a calm, supportive environment during transitions. I am passionate about helping children grow academically, socially, and behaviorally, and I use a variety of engaging strategies—such as outdoor sports, board games, reading activities, and structured play—to build confidence, improve comprehension, expand vocabulary, and strengthen social and emotional skills. My adaptive abilities allow me to work effectively in diverse environments, including homes, schools, clinics, and community settings, always prioritizing the needs and goals of the family. My primary mission is to support each child’s development while creating a positive, trusting, and collaborative relationship with parents. I am currently studying at the University of California to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), continuously expanding my professional knowledge to better serve children with special needs and provide families with high‑quality, evidence‑based care.

Charline cared for our two daughters (ages 2 and 1) while I worked from home, and she was truly wonderful. She is warm, responsible, and naturally attentive with young children. From the moment she arrived, she engaged them in play, helped with meals and snacks, supported nap time routines, and kept them happily occupied with a great balance of structure and fun. I also appreciated that she was thoughtful in helping tidy up after activities and consistently showed up with a calm, positive energy. It made a real difference knowing my children were safe, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her while I was working. She was especially great at managing two toddlers at once—patient, playful, and tuned in to their needs. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, caring, and engaging babysitter or nanny.

We were so fortunate to have Maria care for our two children. She was reliable, kind, patient, and truly wonderful with both of them. She made them feel safe, loved, and engaged every day, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. She was attentive to each child’s individual needs, communicated well with us, and always maintained a positive, caring attitude. Our kids genuinely enjoyed spending time with her, and it was clear she truly cared about their happiness and well-being. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and dependable caregiver. She was an incredible nanny, and any family would be lucky to have her.

Luisa was our nanny for our daughter for about a year, and I highly recommend her! Our daughter absolutely loved her and still talks about her. She would take her all over the city to fun activities, cook her meals, and was extremely engaging.

I have ample experience in education, I am proactive, organized, and very responsible. I don't mind helping with small chores and food preparation as needed. In the world of babysitting/nannies, no two jobs are the same, each family has their own needs and each children is unique; I like to meet with the family and understand the care needs before committing to a given job, please don't hesitate to contact me. Ages covered: Infant (+3 months) and toddlers. -Red Cross Training certificate -CPR/AED Certificate - BLS - Spanish Tengo experiencia de mas de 20 años como educadora de jóvenes, soy responsable y organizada.

A little bit about me :) Hi, my name is Aidely. I am 54 years old and I would be delighted to help you with your little ones. I’m a single mother of three grown-ups. I’m from Cuba and English is my second language, which I learned in Miami-Dade College. Currently, I live in Coral Gables. Since the beginning I have been involved in my children's education. I worked at their school, North Beach Elementary, as an assistant and substitute teacher, in inclusion classes, one-on-one, and in intervention programs from 2002-2009. Additionally, after school, I tutored and babysat. Then, because of my son's ADHD, I became a Learning Coach in the Miami-Dade Virtual School (2010 - 2015) helping him and other students succeed in middle school. I have been babysitting for a long time, initially with the intention of earning an extra income. However, I found out that this is the most rewarding and loveliest job I have ever done. My purpose with children is pursuing education and leading a healthy and happy life by: active learning, teaching how to follow instructions, developing trust and confidence, preparing and educating on nutritious meals, exercising/yoga/sports, potty training, and teaching Spanish, to name a few. During the pandemic, I became a full time learning coach and nanny for a family. Now we are proud that the youngest one started school with his siblings this August. Even though I still see them, my heart is aching and I miss all the fun together. Now, I'm in the transition to get ready to help a new family. I look forward to hearing from you! Have a lovely parenting adventure!
