A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Makenna Schmitz. I’m 19 years old and a 2024 graduate of Plant City High School. I have two years of hands-on childcare experience working at a daycare, where I cared for children of all ages. I truly love working with kids and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them. I’m responsible, patient, and creative, with strong communication and problem-solving skills. I’m also CPR certified and currently preparing to take my CNA exams. I’d love the opportunity to support your family with dependable and caring childcare.

A little bit about me

My names Savannah, I’m 21 year old experienced caregiver and a nursing major and I’m looking for consistent work while I am in school! I have my CPR and BLS license. I’m very down to earth, organized, and flexible as well as being super outgoing, and extroverted. I love sports, the arts, the outdoors, and music. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have been a nanny for 2 main families for the last 4 years. Both families would relay the exceptional care I provide for the children. I also have experience with special needs children, as I have a 24 year old brother with a chronic disability which requires full care. I’m moving to the Lakeland area this weekend (10/4/25) and am seeking a great family that would benefit from my experience, skills, and passion for childcare. I am in nursing school which takes up Mon-Wed of my week but have time after classes on the days I do attend school. Looking for more Thursday-Sunday work. I’m willing to be very flexible with pay and hours as well.
