Quick answer: Famyle connects families in west Orlando with local household professionals. A family posts a job for free, professionals nearby apply, and the family talks to them and hires directly, agreeing on pay and schedule. Professionals join and apply for free. Famyle is not an employer or agency and does not run background checks.
Famyle has helped families in Brazil find household help for more than 10 years. In Orlando we start in the west side of town: Winter Garden and Horizon West, Windermere, Dr. Phillips and MetroWest. We cover housekeepers, house cleaners, nannies, babysitters, pet sitters and private cooks.
For families: step by step
- Post your job. On the Famyle home page, say what you need (for example, a nanny for two kids after school), your area, the days and hours. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
- Professionals nearby apply. Your job is shown to professionals who live close to you, so they spend less time driving.
- Talk to the candidates. You talk to each professional directly: call, video chat or meet in person. Ask about experience, availability and references.
- Check them yourself. Call references, ask for a paid trial day and, if you want a background check, follow the rules in our background check guide.
- Hire directly. You and the professional agree on pay, schedule and duties, ideally in writing. You pay the professional directly; Famyle takes no cut.
For professionals: step by step
- Join for free on the professionals page and tell us what you do and where you live.
- See jobs near you on the jobs page and apply to the ones that fit your schedule.
- Talk to the family, agree on pay and hours, and start working for them directly.
