I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being someone parents can trust. I love getting to know each child’s personality, keeping them safe and engaged, and creating a fun environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. It’s rewarding to know that I can give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have experience providing childcare and working with children in both educational and caregiving settings. I’ve supported children with different personalities, ages, and needs, helping with daily routines, activities, learning, and supervision. My experience also includes working in a school environment, where safety, patience, communication, and keeping children engaged were important parts of my role. My strengths include patience, communication, responsibility, organization, and the ability to adapt to each child’s needs. I’m comfortable supervising children, planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework and learning, and maintaining a safe and structured environment. I also understand the importance of communicating clearly with parents and following their routines and expectations.

Michelle helped me remotely take care of my senior father with Parkinson's in Florida while I lived in California. He was in an Assisted Living Facility and she checked in on him weekly, spending time with him, and keeping me updated on his level of care. She was such a blessing during a stressful time when he was in and out of the hospital. She kept me updated about his care and concerns she had at the facility (like him getting his meds on time) and he was always so happy to have her visit. She was very sweet, communicative, and caring and I'd be happy to recommend her to other families looking for some additional care.

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.

Hello! I’m Jhasha Presilis, a dedicated child development specialist with over a decade of experience nurturing young minds in Central Florida. As a former Montessori Director who thrived under the visionary leadership of Dr. Meredith McCurdy at Brilliant Minds Montessori in Sanford, I bring a refined, Montessori-inspired approach to every family I serve, focusing on independence, curiosity, and joyful learning. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing a child’s “aha!” moment, whether mastering a new skill, sharing a laugh during a story, or exploring the world through hands-on play. I cherish creating those magical, trust-filled connections that make children feel secure and excited to grow, while giving parents the peace of mind they deserve. For nearly seven years at Brilliant Minds, I advanced from Lead Teacher to Aftercare Manager and ultimately Director, overseeing operations, mentoring staff, and partnering closely with families to maintain enrollment and a welcoming environment. Today, as a self-employed specialist since 2014, I provide personalized childcare, tutoring, and enrichment for ages 0 to 10, including STEM activities, homework support, and developmental milestones. I have also led teams in youth programs at the YMCA and supervised commercial services, honing my skills in organization and communication. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA), Florida Director Credential with VPK endorsement, Operations Support and Services certification, and CPR/First Aid. I obtained a Bachelor’s in Business and Organizational Leadership, with an Associate of Arts in Social Services earned on the President’s List. I am proficient in time management, leadership, parent communication, and Microsoft tools to keep everything seamless. I am passionate about building long-term partnerships with discerning families who value excellence in childcare. Let’s chat about how I can support your little ones’ brightest future!

Jhasha was so great! She was very professional, responsive, punctual, and knowledgeable about child development and brought fun toys and activities for our 3 year old son to engage with and learn from. She quickly earned our trust and made us feel very comfortable and confident that our child was in good hands and would be well cared for. It was a two day engagement and after the first few minutes of our son meeting her, he was already so happy! We would recommend Jhasha to any family. Thank you Jhasha!! We

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!

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 an experienced childcare and family assistant with over 10 years of experience working with children and families, including 5 years as a family assistant. I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with nearly 4 years of experience supporting children through individualized care, skill-building, and positive behavior support. I’m dependable, energetic, and genuinely love creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where children feel happy, supported, and confident. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages, supporting their routines and activities, caring for pets, and helping with the everyday responsibilities that keep a household running smoothly. I take punctuality and reliability seriously—although I’m usually not just on time, but early! I also have my own reliable vehicle, making transportation and getting to and from activities easy. My goal is to make life a little easier for parents while making sure their children and pets are cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention. I truly enjoy being someone families can trust and rely on.

Stefanie was wonderful with my FOUR kids. Ages ranged from 3 months to 16 years old. She was able to keep up with the baby and teens. Always on time, respectful, helpful, and communicated well. Didn’t mind taking them places and always willing to lend a helping hand.

My girls were absolutely delighted with Loren as their babysitter. She kept my busy toddler safe, happy, and thoroughly entertained, and she connected so naturally with my autistic teen daughter as she they chatted about art and video games—and my teen even gave her a hug goodbye. We’ll definitely be calling Loren again. ❤️
