I worked at the Aurora Theater and the YMCA for four years, before starting babysitting. I organized the groups, games and helped clean afterwards at the end of the day. I recently worked as a live in nanny for 6 months.
I love helping kids with homework as well, education is very important to me.
Any cleaning or laundry I can do as well, although all laundry machines are different, so I'd have to be taught how to use the machine. I am going to be honest, I only know how to cook grilled cheese, spaghetti and put things in the oven or microwave, sorry.
Now, about technology, I'm not big on tablets, TV's, etc., I prefer to interact with them to get to know them.
I have reliable transportation, but do not have my own vehicle.
I am also open to background checks.
My availability is any day of the week and hope to someday babysit your children!
Cassie is an amazing caregiver to children. I have a special needs son and even from the time he was born she was a great help and really took into consideration his special needs. When I had my second child she felt more like family than a sitter and what more could you ask for from a sitter? Shes dependable, nurturing and kind. - Kayla

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Orlando, FL
Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.
From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Orlando can impact how much you pay your babysitter.
Orlando Babysitter Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a babysitter?
- What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Florida?
- Do you have a Florida driver’s license? Do you own a car?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!
